Council approves $3.16M mechanical improvements at Tame Water Treatment Plant
Summary
Red River Construction will perform mechanical improvements at the Tame Water Treatment Plant under a contract totaling about $3.16 million; council approved the award 6–0 after staff explained a value‑engineering review and schedule.
The council authorized the city manager to execute a contract with Red River Construction Company for mechanical improvements at the Tame Water Treatment Plant with a base bid of $3,334,000, a deductive change order of $225,770 and a $50,000 contingency yielding a total of $3,158,230 as presented to council.
Staff said the project had been planned for years and that value engineering was used to remove nonessential items to lower costs without affecting performance. Of three bids received, Red River Construction was the lowest qualified bidder. Substantial and final completion deadlines were discussed (roughly 300–330 calendar days). Council voted 6–0 to award the contract.
