Council accepts low bid well under estimate for transmission-main portion of point-of-diversion project
Summary
Council accepted Resolution 03-2027 after staff reported five bids for the transmission-main work; the engineer's estimate was just over $5.4 million while the low bid was just under $3.6 million, yielding substantial savings.
Staff updated council on bidding for the transmission-main portion of the point-of-diversion project: five bids were received and the low bidder (Rochke/Rochi in the transcript) came in significantly below the engineer's estimate. A staff speaker said the engineer's estimate was just over $5.4 million while the low bid totaled just under $3.6 million, which staff framed as a substantial savings because of economies from single mobilization.
Council moved to accept Resolution 03-2027 authorizing contract award for the transmission-main work; the motion passed by roll call. Council members had no further questions after staff explained the bid results and economy-of-scale savings from combining project mobilizations.
