AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Rejecting all Bids for the Turner Road Underpass Pump
Station Modifications Project
MEETING DATE: September 6, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution rejecting all bids for the
above project.
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.
Plans and specifications for this project were originally approved on August 3, 2005, and bids were
opened on September 14, 2005. The three bids received were significantly higher than anticipated, so
on October 5, 2005, Council rejected those bids and authorized advertisement for rebidding the project in
Spring 2006. The City received the following bid for this project on July 19, 2006.
Bidder Location Bid
Engineer's Estimate $ 60,020.00
Richard Townsend Construction Oakdale $ 99,790.50
The one bid received is still significantly higher than anticipated, and staff feels it would be more
economical to complete the work using City forces. The Engineer's Estimate is $60,020 if the work is
performed by an outside contractor; however, staff expects Public Works crews will be able to provide the
labor and materials on this project for less than the currently budgeted amount of $50,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: This project will reduce maintenance costs by replacing storm pumps that
have reached their usable life and also reduces liability associated with the
risk of roadway flooding.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The project is currently budgeted with $50,000 available in Account No. 171038
(Turner Road Pump Station). Staff requests no additional funding at this time.
Project Estimate: less than $50,000 (with Public Works staff performing
the work)
