Haslet awards $1.8 million sanitary-sewer contract for new fire station project
Summary
Council awarded the Haslet Fire Station FM 156 sanitary sewer extension contract to the lowest qualified bidder, TELUS Services LLC, for $1,795,529.85 and authorized a roughly 10% contingency bringing the total project not-to-exceed amount to about $1,975,882.85.
The Haslet City Council voted unanimously on Oct. 21 to award the construction contract for the Haslet Fire Station FM 156 sanitary sewer extension to the lowest qualified bidder, listed in the bid opening as TELUS Services (transcript variants include "TELUS Services Limited Liability Corp" and "Teleservices LLC"). The successful bid was $1,795,529.85.
City staff and the city engineer reported two bids were received. Staff recommended awarding to the low qualified bidder after reference checks and a review of the contractor27s experience. City staff also recommended a contingency equal to about 10 percent of the contract amount to account for typical underground unknowns such as rock; that contingency, $179,553, was included in the total project amount discussed in the meeting and yielded a total not-to-exceed figure recorded in the meeting as approximately $1,975,882.85.
Councilmember motions specified the contract award to TELUS Services and authorization of the contingency; the motion was seconded and the council voted unanimous 'Aye'. Staff estimated a construction start in mid-November with a projected duration of roughly seven months.
The contract award directs staff to execute the contract with the awarded bidder and to manage any change orders per the authorized contingency. The council recorded the motion and vote on the floor; no dissent was recorded in the public meeting.
