Council approves $189,451 Parkson replacement contract with Bearing Construction
Summary
After staff said Bearing Construction will rebuild the influent bar screen on-site rather than shipping it to Florida, the council approved switching the award to a new Parkson replacement device for $189,451, citing the increased warranty on a new unit.
Town Administrator Erin Braband told the council that Bearing Construction notified staff the influent bar screen would be rebuilt on-site instead of being sent to Florida for refurbishment. After discussion about warranty and method, Commissioner Jeremy Newnam moved to change the award to Bearing Construction for a Parkson replacement at $189,451; Commissioner Walter Chase seconded and the motion was approved unanimously.
"Administrator Braband informed the Council that she was notified by Bearing Construction that the influent bar screen is not being sent back to Florida to be rebuilt as previously stated by the Bearing Construction representative, it will be rebuilt on-site instead with no change in price," Braband reported, prompting discussion about warranty and life-cycle benefits of a new Parkson unit. Newnam then moved to change the award to a Parkson replacement in the amount of $189,451 rather than a refurbishment; the council voted in favor with no recorded opposition.
The minutes do not include a detailed technical specification for the Parkson replacement or a procurement record showing competing prices for the replacement option. Staff noted the replacement provides an increased warranty compared with onsite refurbishment. The workshop concluded after this approval and adjourned at 1:29 p.m.
