Title
Authority to advertise Contract 16-707-21 Scum Line Replacement at the O'Brien Water Reclamation Plant, estimated cost $300,000.00, Account 201-50000-645650, Requisition 1418341
Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 16-707-21 Scum Line Replacement at the O'Brien Water Reclamation Plant, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The existing scum lines for Preliminary Tank Nos. 9 through 16 are damaged in sections which cannot be repaired because they are buried and inaccessible. The scum from these tanks now builds up in the scum pits and must be removed by a vacuum truck. Scum buildups reduce operational efficiency and increase the likelihood of odors. The purpose of this contract is to abandon the existing buried scum lines and install new above-ground and tunnel-hung scum lines to restore proper operation.
The estimated cost for this contract is $300,000.00.
The contract specifications require that all work be completed within 120 days after approval of the Contractor's Bond.
The bid deposit for this contract is $15,000.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) will be included in this contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D, will be included in this contract. The work under this contract is classified “Mechanical.” The MBE, WBE and/or SBE utilization goals for this contract are 20% MBE, 9% WBE and 10% SBE.
