Dear Mr. Frawley:
Subject: City of Bangor, Primary Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade
Recummendauon of Award
CHZM HILL has performed an evaluation of bid proposals for the construction of
the Primary Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade. The bids were received and
opened on November 14, 1990. The apparent low bidder is Harvey Construction
Company with a total lamp sum bid of $16,498,000. The scam l low bidder is Penta
Corporation with a total lump sum bid of $16,575,350. A total of six bids were
received ranging from $16,498,000 to $19,363,250.
The low proposal submitted by Harvey Construction Company acknowledged receipt
of the three addenda, was complete, and contained no mathematical error& In
addition, the low bidder submitted all required forms including the Bidders Affidavit,
Bid Security, Bidder Disclosure Form, Consent of Surety, Statement of Noncollusion,
Bidders Experience, and Power of Attorney. Ag the necessary information was
provided.
A Dunn and Bradstreet Finmmial Statement was obtained and examined for Harvey
Construction Company. A copy of this statement is presented in Attachment 1. The
bond surety, the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, is fisted on the current
Circular 570 of the US. Treasury Department and is licensed to do business in the

The major equipment substitutions proposed by Harvey Construction Company have
been evaluated with the reacts presented in Attachment 2. The proposed
substitution for the belt filter press was not accepted and based on the conditions in
the Proposal, the cycled manufacturer, AshbrcokSimon-Hartley, w01 be provided.
This will require redesign of the belt inter preas area at a cost not to exceed $30,000.
This cost is Infidde to the contractor as described in Section 00300, Proposal, article
"Major Equipment Schedule.I Ail other Alternate or Substitute equipment provided
will not require redesign.
Harvey Construction Company, listed five treatment plants in their experience list.
One treatment plant, Nashua, NH, was completed last year, 12 months ahead of
schedule, with a final construction value of approximately $25,000,000. The other
four plants listed were completed over 12 years ago and references for these plants
could not be reached. References from the Nashua plant compiled by John Murphy
of the City of Bangor staff including the Owner and the Engineer all indicate that
Harvey Construction is a reputable and competent firm.
In summary, this evaluation shows that Harvey Construction Company is responsive,
responsible, and the lowest bidder for the Primary Wastewater Treatment Plant
Upgrade. We therefore recommend award of the contract for the bid amount of
$16,498,000 subject to the changes in the Major Equipment Schedule recommended
by Attachment 2

SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT EVALUATION
The major pieces of equipment listed in the proposal submitted by Harvey
Construction Company as substitutes for either the "named' or "alternate" equipment
and the results of our evaluation of that equipment are as follows:
SECONDARY CLARIFIER MECHANISMS (SlseditceRon Section 11337)
CH2 HDL does not recommend acceptance of the secondary clarifier mechanism as
manufactured by Westech. The Westech design uses steel Oe -bars to support the
suction header which is specifically prohibited in the specifications. The specified was
mm system decreases the possibility of a bending moment on the suction header,
decreasing potential stress problems when the header joins the manifold.
The Westech suction manifold orifices are designed with a minimum diameter of
1 l/Unches instead of a 2 1/4 -inch minimum as specified. The larger orifice size
provides increased flow capacity, promotes even sludge withdrawal, and prevents the
chances of the orifice clogging with rags, etc.
The specifications require a worm gear speed reducer while Westecb is proposing a
cycloidal speed reducer. The worm gear reducer can bs readily repaired in the field, is
more accessable for routine maintenance, and speed changes can be easily
accomplished in the field by changing a sprocket.
GRAVITY SLUDGE THICETNER MECHANISMS (Specification Section 11350)
CH2M HILL does tut recommend acceptance of the gravity sludge thickener
mechanism as manufactured by Westech. The specifications requite a worm gear
speed reducer while Westech is proposing a cyclmdal speed reducer. The worm gear
reducer can be readily repaired m the field, is more accessable for routine
maintenance, and speed changes can be easily accomplished in the field by changing a
sprocket.
BELT FILTER PRESSES (Specification Section 11358) -
C112M HILL does not recommend acceptance of the belt filter press as manufactured
by Berlie-Voest-Alpine. The submittal was incomplete based on the requirements
listed in the Proposal. It was not possible to determine if Berlie-Voest-Alpine could
meet the experience requirements and no warranty bond was submitted as required.
The mixing -flocculation system proposed is specifically prulubited by the specifications.
The modifications required to install this press wero no provided. No judgement could
be made on many of the technical issues due to lack of information.
ROTARY DISTRIBUTION MECHANISM (Specification Section 0366)
CH2M HDL recommends acceptance of the rotary distribution mechanism as
manufactured by Westech subject to further shop drawing review.
BIOFIL7ER MEDIA (Specification Section 11367)
CH21vl HILL does not recommend acceptance of the bimilter media as supplied by
Brentwood Industries because no information was submitted with the Proposal.
BELT CONVEYOR SYSTEM (Specification Section 10559)
CH2M HILL does not recommend aeceptance of the belt conveyor system as
manufactured by Custom Conveyor because the bell speeds used are in excess of those
specified. Higher beh speeds will result in increased wear and reduced life of the
system.
