Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with ProCon Professional Construction Services, Inc. for the replacement of the floating dock at Twin Bridges Boat Ramp.
In late 2016, the Department of Public Utilities completed major improvements to the Twin Bridges Boat Dock and Parking Lot located on the Hoover Reservoir. As part of the boat ramp renovation, the existing dock at this location had to be removed. This project will replace the previous dock with a new floating dock located in the middle of the new boat ramp. This dock will make it easier for visitors to get the watercraft in and out of the reservoir. The dock will be a steel frame with wood decking and will be anchored using a pair of existing piles that were installed as part the Department of Public Utilities project.
The costs for this project will be $31,199.00 with a contingency of $3,000.00 for a total of $34,199.00.
Bids were requested in accordance with City Code Section 329 and received by the Recreation and Parks Department on January 19, 2017. Bids were requested from the following companies:
Company Amount
ProCon (MAJ) $31,199
TFR Construction (MAJ) $32,485
Tyevco (MAJ) $34,236
Ferguson Construction (MAJ) $39,809
After reviewing the proposals that were submitted, it was determined that ProCon was the lowest and most responsive bidder.
