Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract with the Downing Construction Company in the amount of $115,800.00 for the construction of the Driving Park Downspout Elimination Pilot Project.

This project will construct a set of improvements to eliminate sources of inflow and infiltration from private property of select homes in the Driving Park neighborhood from the public sanitary sewer system. As part of the improvements, work will include the disconnection of downspouts from private residences and re-directing roof water to one of several ultimate disposal strategies, which include splash pads and rain emitters.

The Director of Public Utilities publicly opened two competititve bid proposals on September 27, 2006. The low bid submitted by TFH-EB, Inc., dba the Waterworks has been deemed non-responsive, due to the vendor's failure to submit its proposal in its entirety and for not signing the proposal as required. The City's design engineering consultant has recommended the award based upon their estimate, and evaluation of the low bidders proposal.
