Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
To authorize the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract through the City’s Invitation For Bid process with W.P. Kolens and Associates, Inc., for the 690278-100000 Dublin Road Water Plant (DRWP) Miscellaneous Improvements project to purchase three rate of control venturis with attached control valves for a total expenditure of up to $178,600.00.
The DRWP provides potable water to a large portion of the City’s service areas and the rate of control venturis with attached control valves are critical components of the water treatment process. This contract will supply three filter flow control valves for the Dublin Road Water Plant (DRWP). Installation will be provided by others. The DRWP’s existing filter rate of flow controllers are beyond their useful life, are experiencing failures, and need to be replaced to maintain the plant’s functionality and reliability of the water treatment process.
TIMELINE:
It is anticipated that a PO will be issued to the vendor in October 2026, and it is estimated that the goods will be delivered to the DRWP in the 3rd quarter of 2027.
ESTIMATED COST OF PROJECT:
The bid amount was $170,100.00. A contingency of $8,500.00 (approximately 5.0%) is being added to fund required and approved changes in the work, if needed. The total contract amount with contingency is $178,600.00. No contract modifications are anticipated at this time; however, project exigency might later compel modification of this contract if unforeseen difficulties are encountered.
Cost summary:
Original Contract $178,600.00
Future Anticipated Needs $ 0.00
CONTRACT TOTAL $178,600.00
