Title
Resolution to Award a Contract for the Master Meter Replacement Project to United Water - NACO ($68,301.00)
Memorandum
We request your approval of a contract with United Water - NACO for the Master Meter Replacement Project.
The Master Meter Replacement Project is necessary to install five meters that were not included as part of the Automated Meter Reading (AMR) project that began in 2004. These five meters require specialized construction techniques because they are located in below ground meter pits in traffic right-of-ways.
The City received the following five bids for construction services:
United Water - NACO $ 68.301.00
John E. Green Company $117,500.00
Weiss Construction $149,350.00
Sinatech Construction $154,572.00
O'Laughlin Construciton $177,800.00
It is recommended that the bid from United Water - NACO for $68,301.00 be accepted, and that United Water - NACO be awarded the contract for the Master Meter Replacement Project.
Council approved this project and it's associated budget on March 15, 2004 (R-97-3-04). You are also requested to establish a contingency of $10,000.00 for the United Water - NACO contract for change orders to be approved by the City Administrator. Funds for this project are available in the previously established budget.
United Water - NACO has received Human Rights approval on September 18, 2008, and complies with the living wage ordinance.
