Explanation

BACKGROUND: The lime softening sludge lagoons at the Hap Cremean Water Plant are necessary to provide storage for emergency situations, such as loss of pumping capabilities, and to allow for maintenance of basins and pumping equipment. Currently lagoon no. 1 is filled to capacity. This contract provides for the physical removal of the sludge from the lagoon. A future contract will provide for improvements to the lagoon embankments.

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 May 4, 2005. Of the two (2) bids received, the lowest responsive and responsible and best bidder was Kokosing Construction Company, Inc.

BIDDER AMOUNT

Kokosing Construction Company, Inc $3,348,004.00
Complete General Construction Company, Inc. $3,668,591.30


EMERGENCY: Emergency legislation is being requested to take advantage of favorable weather conditions. Removal of sludge from the lagoons is more difficult in inclement weather and can be severly hampered during winter months. Starting construction as soon as possible will allow for maximum sludge removal prior to the onset of winter weather. It is immediately necessary to authorize the transfer and expenditure of funds within the Waterworks Enlargement Voted 1991 Bonds Fund; and to amend the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget; so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible

FISCAL IMPACT: This project is included in the 2004 CIB and is being funded from current monies.

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NUMBER: 31-1023518
