Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval please find a resolution that awards a construction contract to FTL Construction, Inc. (FTL) in the amount of $324,584.00 for the Taylor Street Water Main Replacement Project.
The FY12- FY17 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) includes project UT-WS-10-13, the Taylor Street Water Main Replacement Project. This project includes the installation of approximately 1,400 feet of new 8-inch ductile iron water main and four fire hydrants on Taylor Street (between Pontiac Street and Peach Street) and on Pear Street (between Taylor Street and John A. Woods Drive). Also included is the full-width resurfacing of Pear Street, and half-width resurfacing of Taylor Street. This project will improve water quality and pressure by looping the new water main to the existing water main in Pontiac Street. In addition, this project will provide fire hydrant coverage to Northside Elementary School. The existing water mains that will be replaced, are between 1 and 3 inches in diameter and do not provide adequate water flow to support the necessary fire hydrant. The project is expected to begin in mid-July and be completed by fall of 2012.
Plans and specifications were made available through BidNet. Five bids were received and opened on May 31, 2012. The lowest responsible bid, in the amount of $324,584.00 is $44,057.00 lower than the engineer's estimate of $368,641.00. Attached is a tabulation of the bids received for the project.
FTL Construction Inc. received Human Rights approval on June 1, 2012. All employees of FTL Construction Inc., who will work on the project, will receive compensation in accordance with the Living Wage Ordinance.
