REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br />Appropriation <br />Agenda Date Requested: January 9, 2017 <br />Source of Funds: CIP Fund 003 <br />Requested By: Don Pennell <br />Account Number: 003-7087-532-1100 <br />Department: Public Works <br />Amount Budgeted: $100,000 <br />Report: Resolution: Ordinance: <br />Amount Requested: $ 109,814.59 <br />Exhibits: Access Report <br />Budgeted Item: YES <br />Exhibits: Bid Tabulation <br />Exhibits: <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />Sealed Bid #17008, Clarifier Rehabilitation, was opened and read on December 7, 2017. Two <br />bids were received. The bid packet was posted on the Public Purchase site, the City’s website <br />and advertised in the November 10 and 17, 2016 editions of the Bay Area Observer. Twenty <br />three vendors downloaded the bid package. <br />The low bid that meets specifications was submitted by Environmental Improvements in the <br />lump sum amount of $103,814.49. Environmental Improvements has previously installed <br />wastewater equipment at the City of La Porte Wastewater Treatment Facility as a subcontractor <br />for the most recent plant upgrade, and as a prime contractor for the previous three clarifier <br />drives. This clarifier drive is the last of four to be replaced. The drive bid will be an exact replica <br />of clarifier #3 drive allowing for like maintenance and repair parts and tools. Clarifiers #1 & 2 <br />are smaller units with the identical drives. Low bid does not include installation, therefore does <br />not meet specification. <br />Other contractors that looked at the project were contacted about reason for no bid and <br />responded with: they have other larger projects, Environmental Improvements is their supplier, <br />and did not answer the phone or email request for information. <br />A total of $100,000 was budgeted for this Project. There is a $40,000 utility capital improvement <br />fund contingency. The bid for $103,814.59 is recommended by staff for award. A 5% <br />contingency of $5,200 is also recommended, for a total award of $109,014.59. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action to award Bid #17008 to Environmental Improvements and <br />authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for Clarifier Rehabilitation at the City of <br />La Porte Wastewater Treatment Facility in the amount of $103,814.59, and authorize a <br />construction contingency of $5,200. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br /> Corby D. Alexander, City Manager Date <br /> <br />
