Port Washington Board of Public Works approves $131,279 package to replace marina fuel lines
Summary
The Board awarded a contract and related purchases to replace fuel lines at the city marina; the low bidder was Interstate Pump and Tank and total project cost remains under the $150,000 budget.
The Port Washington Board of Public Works voted Tuesday to award the fuel-line replacement contract at the city marina and approve related pre-purchases, keeping total costs below the project budget.
Roger (Public Works staff) said the city repackaged the fuel-line work after installing new fuel tanks in 2023 and that only Interstate Pump and Tank submitted a bid for the current solicitation. "Their bid price was $98,765," Roger told the board, adding that the city had already pre-purchased fuel dispensers and budgeted for a small amount of engineering.
The total of the bid, the pre-purchased dispensers and engineering costs totals $131,279, Roger said, compared with the city budget of $150,000 and the engineer's estimate. "So even though it's 1 bidder, they're a qualified firm. They did an excellent job on the fuel tanks," he said.
Board members made and seconded a motion to award the contract as recommended by staff. The motion passed with the members present voting in favor.
The contract award follows the city's decision to separate the fuel-line work from a previous tank-installation contract because bids and budget constraints in 2023 did not permit doing both projects together. The board did not specify a contractor start date at the meeting.
The board will proceed with the contractor selected and the already-purchased dispensers ahead of the boating season, Roger said.
