| SUBJECT
|
|
| Bid Award - Port Pump Station Replacement
|
|
| | | | | | | | Key Points
|
- The project will replace an existing pump station with outdated equipment and high maintenance costs.
- The City received 5 bids for the project.
- The project includes a 3% apprenticeship utilization requirement
|
|
| | | | | | | | | Strategic Plan Alignment |
Goal 1, Objective 1.2: Ensure our infrastructure, including buildings and utilities, is safe, environmentally responsible and well maintained.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | Present Situation | The Port Pump Station is in need of replacement and upgrade. The station has outdated communications equipment and does not have a permanent source for back-up power. The station is currently a wet well/dry well configuration which requires regular confined space entries by City staff into a 30 foot deep enclosure. This project will bring communication up to current standards, provide a permanent source of back-up power as well as conversion from a wet well/dry well station into a submersible station. With the replacement of the entire pump station the maintenance cost and confined space entries will be reduced and the efficiencies of the station will greatly improve with the addition of a new communications system.
On August 3, 2021, the City received 5 bids for the subject project. The bids ranged between $1,400,000 and $2,200,000. The low bidder was responsive. The bids are as follows:
