Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract with McDonald Municipal and Industrial for the Water Distribution System Generator Project.
Body
With the onset of inclement weather in February of 2021, the state legislature passed and signed the Texas Senate Bill 3 (SB3) requiring an emergency plan for all Texas utilities. During the evaluation of the water distribution system by the City of Round Rock, it was determined that standby generators at three distribution sites would provide greater resiliency and flexibility in the distribution system during a prolonged power outage.
This agenda item is for the construction contract associated with the addition of the three standby generators at three separate water distribution pump stations: Southeast Elevated Pump Station, South 81 Pump Station, and Southeast Ground Pump Station.
On September 15, 2022, the City opened four bids for the associated project. The bids ranged from $1,508,700 to $2,226,000. After evaluation, the design engineer, Gupta & Associates, Inc., recommended entering into an agreement with the lowest bidder, McDonald Municipal & Industrial, for $1,508,700.
Cost: $1,508,700
