<br />
<br /> 77-140 "Bids were recently received by the Department of Engineering and Technical
<br />Services for Phase I of the Cradock Public Works Project. The bids received were consider-
<br />ably higher than the City's consulting engineering:firm had estimated. As a result the
<br />project was rebid with an amendment which lowered the original low bid from approximately
<br />$668,000 to $654,000. Additional changes and negotiations with the low bidder lead to a
<br />further reduction of $50,000 in construction cost and $54,000 in materials cost. The primary
<br />change to the project resulting from the above sequence of egents, was the reduction of the
<br />drainage system design criteria from a five year storm to that of a two year storm. This sti:
<br />represents a substantial improvement in drainage capacity for the project area, and in the
<br />opinion of the City Engineer, the two year storm criteria is satisfactory.
<br />
<br /> As a result of the delay encountered due to the higher than anticipated bids, the
<br />Economic Development Administration granted the City a five day extension of the required
<br />ninety day implementation period. With the extension, the City now has until Tuesday, May
<br />9, 1977, to begin work within the project area. Therefore, it is respectfully recommended
<br />that City Council award lowest responsible bids to:
<br />
<br />1) Central Builders (Installation)~
<br />2) Empire Sales, Inc. (Concrete pipe)
<br />5) Kaiser AluminUm (AlUminum pipe)
<br />4~ Armco Steel (ABS Truss Pipe)
<br />
<br />$654,000.00
<br />130,000.00
<br />13,700.00
<br />1,860.00
<br />
<br />Total $779.550.00
<br />
<br /> Some of the above prices may be further reduced due tO the design changes previously
<br />mentioned. However, these changes can be handled easily through Change ~orders and will not
<br />be affected by the bid amunts listed above. Sufficient funds for the award of the above
<br />contracts have been previously appropriated."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Wentz and seconded by Mr. Elliott, to award contracts to lowest responsibl,
<br />bidders, as stated above, and was adopted by unanimous ~ote.
<br />
<br /> 77-141 - On motion of Mr. Wentz and seconded by Mr. Oust, that the Quarterly Financial
<br />Report for the quarter ending March 31, 1977, in accordance with the City Code, to be re-
<br />ceived as information, was adopted by unanimous vote.
