Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council award Contract #20240086 and enter into a unit price contract with Felix Civil Construction, LLC as a Primary Contractor, and CK Contractors and Development, LLC as a Secondary Contractor, for Water & Wastewater Repairs for Emergency & Non-Emergency Work.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council reject the recommended bid(s).
2. Move that the Council reject all bids and provide staff with direction.
Background: The USD encounters both emergency and non-emergency situations that are beyond the capabilities of staff to safely and effectively manage due to the resources required. As such, a Primary and Secondary underground utility contractor are kept on contract to facilitate the timely completion of emergency and non-emergency work required to maintain service to USD customers.
An E-Bid was issued on May 29, 2024 to 2,075 potential suppliers. There were 33 plan holders and 13 supplemental suppliers with two proposals being submitted on June 28, 2024.
Issues/Analysis: Based upon the results, the USD recommends Felix Civil Construction, LLC as the primary contractor and CK Contractors and Development, LLC as the secondary contractor. This recommendation represents the best value for the City based upon the bid tabulation, with the low bidder being primary and next highest as secondary.
Financial Information: Funds are appropriated in the USD budget. All future expenditures will be requested in the proposed budgets for each year.
