The FY 2003-2004 Utility CIP Fund included rehabilitation of Lift Station # 9, located on North 5th
Street. 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.
Action Required by Council: Approve an Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a
contract with G & N Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $168,590.00 for the construction of the
Project, authorize $8,430.00 for contingency, and appropriate an additional $17,020.00 from the
Utility CIP Fund Contingency.
