RE: Award Bid for Public Works Contract No. 13-24
WWTP Control System, Influent Pumping, &Aeration Blowers Upgrades
August Winter and Sons, Inc. /$4,210,500
BACKGROUND
The Wastewater Treatment Plant(WWTP) has an influent pumping system with aging pumps, drives, and
electrical service. To improve system reliability and energy efficiency, the existing pumps (original
installation in 1973) and drives will be replaced with new equipment. The WWTP influent pump station
electrical service will be converted to 480-volt service to accommodate more competitive equipment
pricing and overall lower life-cycle costs. This project also includes the replacement of two aeration
blowers (original installation in 1985) with new equipment and controls to save energy and improve the
aeration basins' performance. Also included in this project are replacement of WWTP programmable logic
controllers (original installation in 1996), control system wiring, and communication network to remove
obsolete devices; and improve speed, size, reliability of automated monitoring, control, and reporting for
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources compliance.
ANALYSIS
Bids were opened on December 17, 2013 with three contractors bidding on the project. The bids were
reviewed with CH2M HILL, Inc., our project engineering consultant. Three bid alternatives were included
to provide flexibility for choosing the low frequency drive supplier for the influent pumping system. This is
a retrofit to the pump room and a number of factors, particularly the size of the drives, needed to be
evaluated before making the final selection. The recommendation is to accept Lump Sum Bid Alternate
1A plus allowances from August Winter and Sons, Inc. of Appleton, Wisconsin as the low bid with a total
project bid of $4,210,500. Alternate 1A was judged to best meet these requirements, including the
required size of the drives. The construction bid estimate for this project was $5,100,000. CH2M HILL
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 2014 Capital Improvements Program under the Major Equipment (Sewer
Utility Fund). The State of Wisconsin Clean Water Fund Loan Program will be used for funding this
project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend award to August Winter and Sons, Inc. of Appleton, Wisconsin in the amount of$4,210,500
for this project.
