Title
Resolution to Award Contract for the Clarifier 4 Drive Replacement Project to Titus Welding Company ($175,000.00)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to Titus Welding Company for the Clarifier 4 Drive Replacement Project ($175,000.00).
Budget/Fiscal Impact
The overall project is estimated at $219,000.00 which includes the contract for Titus Welding Company ($175,000.00), project management and inspection services by City Staff ($10,000.00), contingency for the contract with Titus Welding Company for change orders to be approved by the City Administrator ($17,500.00), and engineering services provided by Tetra Tech ($16,500.00). The funds for this project are included in the approved Water Fund Capital Budget and was ranked as a high priority project in the City's Capital Improvement Plan.
The project will replace the mechanical drive for a primary treatment clarifier at the Water Treatment Plant. The drive to be replaced is the original drive that was installed in 1965. The expected life of these drives is 30 years. The drive has begun to show signs of failure, included seizing, high vibration, and bearing failure. The drive has been assessed by the manufacturer and it has been determined that it is not cost-effective to repair. This clarifier is a critical piece of equipment in the water treatment process to ensure compliance with state and federal drinking water regulations.
The City received two bids:
Titus Welding Company $175,000.00
Process Piping & Equipment $284,900.00
Since Titus Welding Company submitted the lowest responsible bid in the amount of $175,000.00, it is recommended that their bid for $175,000.00 be accepted, and that Titus Welding Company be awarded the contract for the Clarifier 4 Replacement Project. The recommended award includes the base bid and alternate #1 for the Clarifier 4 Replacement Project.
