Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 15-906-21 Rehabilitation of One Rotating Assembly at the Racine Avenue Pumping Station, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to rehabilitate one rotating assembly on a Main Sewage Pump located at the Racine Avenue Pumping Station. This rotating assembly was last overhauled in November, 1995 and is due for a scheduled overhaul which is needed to prevent sudden fatigue failures, such as shaft cracks at the impeller keyway region and impeller looseness on the shaft which were observed in other pumps having more than ten to twelve years of operation.
The estimated cost for this contract is $245,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $12,000.00.
The contract specifications require that all work be completed 180 calendar days thereafter.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) will not be included in this contract because the work is performed at the contractor's facility.
The Affirmative Action Interim Ordinance Appendix D will not be included in this contract because the required services do not provide practical or cost-effective opportunities for direct or indirect subcontracting.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise April 15, 2015
Bid Opening April 28, 2015
Award May 21, 2015
Completion December 31, 2015
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645750.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to advertise Contract 15-906-21.
