Budget Impact
This project is included in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as project UT-ST-16-11, and funding is approved in the Stormwater Capital budget. Any long-term maintenance associated with the proposed work would be budgeted from Stormwater Operations and Maintenance funds.
Background
In 2016, the City initiated public engagement and detailed design for a project to provide water-quality improvements, conveyance modifications, and ecological habitat improvements that will protect and enhance First Sister Lake. The purpose of the project is to remove nutrients from the stormwater that contribute to the degradation of First Sister Lake. The resulting design is a bio-filtration garden that removes the nutrients from the first flush of stormwater runoff from the adjacent neighborhood, before releasing the water into First Sister Lake. The final design was presented to the Parks Advisory Commission in October 2017.
Project specifications were distributed electronically to contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Eleven contractors attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting, and four responsive bids were received. The low responsible bidder was TSP Services, Inc., whose bid of $279,857.50 is six percent lower than the Engineer's Estimate of $297,600.
TSP Services, Inc. is in compliance with the requirements of the City's Non-Discrimination and Living Wage ordinances.
