<br />
<br /> 87-105 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of
<br />an ordinance to appropriate $722,700 from the Public Utilities
<br />Capital Improvement Fund for upgrading of the City's main water
<br />booster pumping station at Godwin Street, and award of contract to
<br />the responsive, low bidder, and to authorize the City Manager to
<br />enter into a contract with the U. S. Navy for their share of the
<br />funds hereby appropriated for construction.
<br />
<br />"In October 1984, the United States Navy requested that the
<br />City conduct a report to investigate needed water system improve-
<br /> associated with the new RDF facility to serve the shipyard.
<br />Since that date, City Council has appropriated $40,000 to initiate
<br />the study (December 11, 1984), as well as $83,000 to design the
<br />recommended improvements (March 25, 1986). The Navy reimbursed th~
<br />City 100% for the cost of the study and contributed $28.6% towards
<br />the cost of the design. The improvements were previously identified
<br />in the City's long-range Capital plans and the Navy's partic~p~tio~
<br />allowed for the work to be expedited at a reduced cost to our
<br />~itizens.
<br />
<br /> On Thursday, March 5, 1987, bids were opened for the upgrade
<br />of the City's water booster pumping station at Godwin Street.
<br />
<br />Woodington Corporation $657,00[ 97.2%

<br />Shoreline ConKractors, Inc. 808,000 119.5%
<br />Public Utilities Estimate 676,350 100%
<br />
<br /> The low bidder, Woodington Corporation has successfully com-
<br />pleted other projects in the City and the Director of Public Utili-
<br /> recommends award of the bid to this firm. The following is
<br /> breakdown of total anticipated costs associated with this project:
<br />

<br />
<br />As with other components of this pro~ect, the United States
<br />avy has agreed to reimburse the City for its share of the project
<br />'28.6% or $206.692). This project ms identified in the 1986-87
<br /> ~ital Improvement Program and funds are available to proceed.
