Award Sodium Hypochlorite Improvements Project to McClure and Sons Inc in the amount of $347,091
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Water from the City's five drinking water wells is chlorinated using hypochlorite generation units that were installed between 2001 and 2009. Earlier this year, it was determined that these units have reached the end of their useful life and it is no longer cost-effective to repair them. Some individual components of the present units are more expensive than the cost to replace the entire unit. It was determined that it would be most cost effective to replace them all at once to achieve economies of scale. The project began as a maintenance project but after defining the scope of the replacement project it was determined that the installation would need to follow the Capital Improvement Program project requirements.
An on-call engineering consultant was employed to develop design drawings and bidding documents to facilitate replacement of the hypochlorite units and the project was advertised for construction.
Staff recommends awarding a contract to McClure and Sons Inc., the low responsible bidder. The bidders' unit prices, extensions, and additions have been checked for accuracy and for unbalanced bid items. References for McClure and Sons Inc. have been contacted and were found to be satisfactory.
