SUBJECT: Award of Contract for the Water Distribution
System/Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and PS1 Electrical
System Upgrade Project; Bid No. 17-019
Summary:
This project consists of general structural repairs to the Wash Water Recovery Basin
and Wash Water Vault, the installation of a new roof vent on one of the existing Wash
Water Tanks, the installation of a new chlorine scrubber in the Chemical Tank Farm,
and miscellaneous electrical improvements and upgrades at the City's Water Treatment
Plant as well as electrical improvements and upgrades at Pump Station 1. Because of
the similar work and close proximity, the two projects were combined into one
bid. Combining the projects simplifies the project processing and provides opportunity
for obtaining more cost-effective bids compared to bidding the two projects separately.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council award the contract for the Water Distribution
System/Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and PS1 Electrical System Upgrade Project to
NEWest Construction Co. Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of
$497,000.00.
Discussion:
The contract time for this project is 120 working days with an Engineer's estimate of
$600,000.00. Construction is scheduled to be complete by January 2018. Bids were
opened on April 5, 2017. The following two bids were received:
