COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Provide sustainable water quality & environmental infrastructure
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This project consists of removal and replacement of two existing 150-hp Siemens Robicon Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) units at the Mint Farm Sewer Pump Station on Prudential Boulevard.
On June 27, 2018, four bids were received as follows:
$129,341.65 - Hamer Electric Inc., Longview, WA
$133,233.25 - Advanced Electrical Technologies, Longview, WA
$142,364.46 - J.H. Kelly, LLC, Longview, WA
$156,745.00 - Northeast Electric, LLC, Woodland, WA
$83,000.00 - Engineer’s Estimate
All bids received were determined to be regular and responsive and the bidders are licensed to perform the work.
The low bid exceeds the engineers estimate by 55.83% and exceeds the budget for this work. Staff believes that rejecting all bids and re-advertising the project to receive new bids will result in lower bid prices.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
This project is funded by the Sewer construction fund.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to reject all bids received for this project.
