AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Rejecting all Bids and Authorizing Advertisement for Bidt
for the Turner Road Underpass Pump Station Modifications
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution rejecting all bids for the
above project and authorizing advertisement for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of installing a new access hatch for the storm
drain pump station that serves the Turner Road Underpass. The
aging pumps and piping have reached their usable life and are in
need of replacement. On September 14, 2005, the following bids
were publicly opened:
Claybom Construction $ 90,715.00
Diede Construction $ 97,585.65
TNT Industrial $129,524.00
Engineer's Estimate $ 50,000.00
It is believed the high bid prices may be due to the bidding climate associated with the late construction
season. To reduce costs, staff is requesting Council authorization to advertise this project in the spring of
2006. Staff will also contact the bidders in order to identify possible cost saving measures we can
incorporate into the specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT: None, since the project will be constructed during the same budget year.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The money for this project will be coming from the Wastewater fund. A
request for appropriation of funds will be made at contract award.
Project Estimate: $50,000
Budgeted: 05106 Fiscal Year
