Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract with Whitestone Civil Construction, LLC for the West Wastewater Treatment Plant Force Main Relocation Project.
Body
At the Brushy Creek Regional West Wastewater Treatment Plant (BCRWWWTP) there is currently an existing 6-inch wastewater force-main that discharges into an 18-inch gravity wastewater line that is deteriorating. Freese & Nichols has designed a new 8-inch force-main that will extend from the BCRWWWTP lift station across Brushy Creek to a manhole to be constructed on an existing 27-inch line that feeds into the Regional Wastewater Interceptor. During design, it became evident that the existing pumps were oversized to meet the needs of the force-main. New smaller, more efficient pumps including Motor Control Centers were necessary for the BCRWWWTP's needs. On September 14th, the City received six bids with one bid returned by request of the contractor. The remaining five bids ranged from $379,426 to $493,100 with Whitestone Civil submitting the lowest bid. The Utility staff recommends City Council to award a contract to Whitestone Civil for the Base Bid amount of $379,426.
Cost: 379,426
