Item No. 15-336
Date: October 14, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Bid Award in the Amount of $102,929 to ELCO
Electric for Cable Bus Duct Replacement
Responsible Department: WWTP
Commentary:
On September 23, 2015, the City received two (2) bids from one vendor to replace the Cable Bus
Duct(s). The bid prices ranged from $77,247 to $102,929 (see attached bid tabulation).
Earlier this year the WWTP experienced a failure in its cable BUS duct system, which is a redundant
system that pulls electrical power from the grid to the plant for its operations. Due to the critical
nature of the system, the initial intent was to merely replace the equipment. With AECOM's
assistance it became clear that other options were available so a bid was issued. Unfortunately, the
funds for this project were not included within the FY 2016 budget, as it was assumed it would be
resolved in FY 2015. However, the WWTP did realize adequate savings in the recent bid results of
the First Street/Davis Court project, to fund this project.
This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on October 5,
2015. The recommendation to award to the higher bid was due to the fact that the low bid did not
meet specifications.
As the award exceeds $100,000 it does require Council action.
