Resolution to Award Contract for Structural Repair and Painting of Clarifiers 4 & 5 to E & L Construction Group, Inc. ($322,500.00)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to E & L Construction Group, Inc. for the Structural Repair and Painting of Clarifiers 4 & 5 Project in the amount of $322,500.00. .

This project replaces the coatings on all structural steel components in Clarifiers 4 and 5 at the Water Treatment Plant. In addition, this project includes replacement of deteriorated handrail, installation of fixed ladders to safely access work areas, repair of a weir ring in Clarifier 5, and removal and replacement of weir plates on the outer launder of Clarifier 5. The metal components in Clarifier 4 and 5 were last coated in the mid-1980’s. The existing coatings have exceeded their expected life by approximately 5 to 10 years. If this project were delayed, structural steel components would be subject to additional corrosion and the need for future replacement resulting in a higher expense.

The City received the following three bids in response to ITB-4051:

E & L Construction Group, Inc. $322,500.00
Seven Brothers Painting $343,506.00
Dave Cole Decorators, Inc. $522,988.00

Since E&L Construction Group, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid in the amount of $322,500.00, it is recommended that the bid from E & L Construction Group, Inc. for $322,500.00 be accepted, and that E & L Construction Group, Inc. be awarded the contract for the Structural Repair and Painting of Clarifiers 4 & 5.

The project budget in the amount of $456,500.00 includes a contingency in the amount of $35,000.00 for E & L Construction Group, Inc. for change orders to be approved by the City Administrator, $10,000 for materials and supplies to be provided by the City, $30,000 for engineering design by City staff, $19,000 for the bond issue fee, and $40,000 for project management and inspection services.
