Summary
City staff opened two bids for the City of Riverton wastewater plant UV and clarifier upgrade project; the proposals list total prices of $2,967,000 and $2,583,900. HDR and funding partners will review bids for responsiveness before the city makes a decision (meeting date not specified in the transcript).
City staff opened bids for the City of Riverton wastewater plant UV and clarifier upgrade project during a meeting; two companies submitted proposals that with alternates listed total prices of $2,967,000 and $2,583,900, and the submissions will be reviewed for responsiveness before the city decides.
Speaker 2, an unidentified meeting participant, announced the bid opening and said, “We received 2 bids on this project,” and that HDR would review the submissions alongside the funding partner and the community development authority, with final concurrence by the City of Riverton. The transcript does not specify the meeting date.
The first submission, from RSCI, included a signed acknowledgement of the project addendum (identified in the transcript as dated Dec. 4) and a bid bond equal to 5% of the bid. Speaker 2 read RSCI’s base bid as $2,290,000 and listed alternates: RAS metering and control valves for $281,000; RAS pump 2 and RAS controls for $306,003; and a UV room hoist for $90,000. Speaker 2 stated the bid’s listed total price was $2,967,000.
The second submission, from GSE Construction Company Inc., included a 5% bid bond, a list of subcontractors, and corporate documentation; the bidder also provided a Wyoming certificate of residency, which the meeting participants noted is not required because the project is federally funded. Speaker 2 read GSE’s base bid as $2,063,000 and listed alternates of $228,100 (RAS meter and control balance), $250,302.05 (RAS pump 2 and RAS controls) and $42,500 (UV room hoist). Speaker 2 read the bid’s listed total lump‑sum price as $2,583,900.
No award or selection was made at the session. Speaker 2 said the bids would be reviewed for responsiveness by HDR and the funding partner before the City of Riverton provides final concurrence and that both bidders would be notified after that review. Speaker 1 confirmed engineering involvement on the project during the closing exchange.
Next steps: the bids will be reviewed for responsiveness and funding concurrence; the city will announce any contract award after those reviews are complete.
