MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Stephan M. Brand, Utilities Superintendent
DATE: October 6, 2009
RE: Wastewater Utility Liftstation Telemetry and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
System Upgrades Project Number 09 -19
BACKGROUND
This project includes upgrading the wastewater system liftstation telemetry system technology from a
telephone dial up system to radio communications, related software upgrades and replacement of control
panels at various locations. Strand Associates, Inc. (Strand) is the engineering consultant on this project.
The construction estimate for this project is $1,350.000.00 with the total estimated project cost including
engineering services $1,525,000.00
ANALYSIS
Bids were open on September 22, 2009 with four contractors bidding on the project. The bid included a
base bid and two bid alternates. Bid alternate 1 was for the cost of computer screen graphics
development for the software application and bid alternate 2 was for replacement of one additional control
panel if the bid pricing was favorable. Based on the bid results, I would not take alternate 1 and I would
recommend accepting alternate 2.
The low bid including alternate 2 is Faith Technologies of Appleton WI for a total $1,031,810.00.
Strand Associates, Inc. has reviewed the bid and contractor documentation and based on this information
and their previous experience in working with this contractor, have found them to be responsible.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is included in the Capital Improvements Program under the Property Improvements Section
(Sewer Utility Fund) and will be funded through the equipment replacement fund. The total bid price
using Faith Technologies bid including alternate 2 is $1,031,810.00. This is $318,190.00 under the
estimated construction costs.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend award to Faith Technologies for the base bid plus alternate 2 in the amount of
$1,031,810.00.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
