Committee recommends task order and awards bid for Well No. 5 facility modifications totaling about $2.25 million in commitments
Summary
The committee recommended a Strand Associates task order for up to $180,000 for well No. 5 construction-related services and recommended awarding the Well No. 5 facility modification contract to Olympic Builders for up to $2,069,155; members noted the award is about $169,155 over budget but the water utility can absorb the overage and one member advocated adding solar during rehab.
The Finance & Personnel Committee recommended two actions to support rehabilitation of Well No. 5.
First, the committee moved to recommend that the common council approve task order 25-111.2 with Strand Associates for construction-related services tied to well No. 5 facility modifications in an amount not to exceed $180,000. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Second, members recommended awarding the construction contract to Olympic Builders General Contractors for the well No. 5 facility modification project in an amount not to exceed $2,069,155, subject to city attorney approval of any associated contracts. A committee member noted the successful bid exceeded budget by $169,155 but said the water utility has overall budget authority to cover the overage. Another member advocated for considering solar power as part of the well rehab to reduce energy costs; staff acknowledged the suggestion.
Both recommendations will be forwarded to Council for final action and any associated contracts will undergo city attorney review.
Ending: Task order and bid award forwarded as recommendations to the common council; staff to ensure any required contract approvals follow city attorney review.
