Board approves recycled‑water construction contract, staff cite competitive low bid
Summary
The district awarded the recycled‑water construction contract to the low responsive bidder and authorized selected alternates; staff said four contractors bid and the low base bid was substantially below the engineer's estimate, enabling alternates to be included. The award and roll call vote were taken at the meeting.
The board voted to award the recycled‑water construction contract to the recommended low bidder and to include several alternate bid items, for a total award amount presented in staff materials of $9,218,230.
District engineer Matt Kennedy reported that four bidders responded to the solicitation and that the engineer's estimate had been about $11.7 million. He told the board the low bidder's package was roughly 26% below the estimate on the base items and that the packet met the district's qualification and regulatory checks. The chair summarized the motion: "They wanna approve the award of the contract for the recycled water project to Gilotti Construction Inc for the amount of $9,218,230." After public comment and brief board discussion about bid checks and references, the board approved the award by roll call.
