Item No. 15-262
Date: July 27, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Bid Award in the Amount of $209,121 to Dunbar &
Brawn for Sewer Maintenance Building Renovations
Responsible Department: WWTP
Commentary:
On May 13, 2015, the City received three (3) bids for the Sewer Maintenance Building
Renovations. The bid prices ranged from $219,303 to $753,000 (see attached bid tabulation).
The initial bid prices were more than the budgeted $150,000. Accordingly, staff met with the
low bidder to value engineer the project costs closer to the budget amount. By allowing certain
changes and eliminating some work that can be completed later, the cost was reduced from
$219,303 to $209,121. Even this amount exceeds the available funding however, it is critical
that we have this renovated space for the crew and the equipment. The operation has
outgrown its current space in the Public Works building and requires heated inside space for the
equipment which will allow us to use the equipment even during cold weather months. This in
turn will allow us to more easily meet the requirements of the proposed consent decree.
The additional funding to complete this project would be redirected from the Sewer small
projects and spot repairs account.
This item is schedule to be reviewed by the Finance Committee earlier this evening.
If recommended for passage, this item comes forward for Council action, as the contract award
is over $100,000.
