Explanation

BACKGROUND: The existing chlorine storage area at the Dublin Road Water Plant cannot be completely sealed. An accidental leak of this extremely toxic gas could cause evacuation of surrounding areas, and interrupt plant operations. Improvements to ventilation and egress, and incorporation of a chlorine gas scrubber system will provide compliance with all applicable codes, as well as increasing safety for personnel and surrounding residents. This contract provides for the construction of a separate chlorine feed and storage facility.

The procurement of this contract was conducted in accordance with Section 329.09.

Competitive bids were received and opened at the office of the Director of Public Utilities on February 11, 2004. Of the four (4) bids received, the lowest responsive and responsible and best bidder was Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. The bid of Smoot Construction Company of Ohio was non-responsive due to failure to complete the requirements of TIER I - MANDATORY FACTOR M-5 Construction Trades Licenses/Certificates Required. Bidders that are determined non-responsive to these mandatory factors shall not be considered for further evaluation under Tier II - Creditable Factors.

Messer Construction Company $10,416,000.00
