TIus Project was identified by the Lift Station Evaluation Study performed several years ago, and is the first of six proposed projects over a multi-year period. The Project, designed by Claunch & Miller, Inc., received bids on August 23, 2004, with six (6) bids received. Low bid was submitted by G & N Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $] 68,590.00. Completion date is 120 days after receipt of notice to proceed (long lead time due to equipment delivery). A total of $160,000.00 was budgeted for construction of this Project. Engineer's estimate totaled $150,000. Recent price increases in materials and equipment, as well as the uncertainty of repairs needed due to the age of the facility, are primarily responsible for the difference between the Engineer's estimate and the low bid. The additional funds needed, including a 5% contingency of $8,430.00, total $17,020. The additional funding is available in the Utility CIP Fund Contingency. References were provided, and checked by the Engineer. The Engineer recommends award to G & N Enterprises, Inc. for the bid amount.
