RE: Award Bid for Public Works Contract No. 12 -17 for Various Wastewater Treatment Plant
and Pumping Station Improvement Projects by J.F. Ahern Co. / $817,800.00
BACKGROUND
This project includes equipment replacement and property improvements at the Wastewater Treatment
Plant and various pumping stations as identified in the 2011 Capital Improvements Plan. Pumping station
improvements include replacement of electrical panel and the addition of a back -up generator at the
Sawyer Creek Lift Station that was originally constructed in 1992. Wastewater Treatment Plant work
includes replacement of grit tank water control gates, the addition of control gates in the primary clarifiers,
concrete repairs and protective coatings in the primary clarifiers, and replacement of baffles in the
secondary clarifiers.
ANALYSIS
Bids were opened on June 5, 2012 with two contractors bidding on the project. This project included three
bid alternates. The bids were reviewed with Strand Associates Inc, the project engineering consultant.
The recommendation is to reject Bid Alternate One and Two and to accept Bid Alternate Three for the use
of fiberglass instead of stainless steel on the clarifier baffles, which reduces the low bid price from J.F.
Ahern of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin of $864,800.00 by $47,000.00 to $817,800.00. Strand Associates Inc.
has also reviewed the 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 2011 Capital Improvements Program under the Property Improvements and
Equipment Sections (Sewer Utility Fund) and the necessary funding is available for this project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1 recommend award to J.F. Ahern Company of Fond du Lac in the amount of $817,800.00 for this project.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
