Title
Resolution to Award Contract for the West High Services Pump Station Project to Spence Brothers ($8,551,000.00)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to Spence Brothers for the West High Service Pump Station Project ($8,551,000.00).
The West High Service Pump Station project is included as a high priority project for 2012 through 2014 in the City’s approved Capital Improvement Plan. This project includes construction of a new pump station to feed the west side of Ann Arbor as well as Scio Township. In the City’s water services agreement with Scio Township these pumps were scheduled to be upgraded once Scio Township reached a daily demand of 2.5 million gallons per day. This target was reached several years ago. Since that time, the City has been working with Scio Township on cost allocation, financing and schedule for this work.
City staff conducted a public meeting on February 9, 2012 to share the project scope and solicit feedback from City residents and neighbors. Several neighbors of the Water Treatment Plant attended the meeting and expressed their support for the project. No concerns or issues were raised.
The City received the following seven bids:
Spence Brothers $8,551,000.00
Lakeshore Toltest Corporation $8,553,758.00
Brencal Contractors, Inc. $8,691,000.00

Walsh Construction $8,914,000.00
E&L Construction Group $9,418,000.00
Colasanti Construction Services $9,633,000.00
Because Spence Brothers submitted the lowest responsible bid in the amount of $8,551,000.00, it is recommended that their bid for $8,551,000.00 be accepted, and that Spence Brothers be awarded the contract for the West High Service Pump Station Project.
The overall budget for the project is estimated at $11,122,438.00, which includes the contract for Spence Brothers, project management and inspection services by City Staff ($220,000.00), contingency for the contract with Spence Brothers ...
