Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 18-910-21, Furnish and Deliver Cooling Tower Media and Parts to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to replace deteriorated cooling tower media used for the office, shop, and storage facility air conditioning system at the Stickney WRP. In addition, the existing corrugated panels have deteriorated and distorted with age and exposure to the elements. The new cooling tower media will restore the cooling tower capacity and liquid to air heat transfer effectiveness, which will result in maximizing evaporation and subsequent cooling.
The estimated cost for this contract is $110,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $5,500.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) and the Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D will not be included in this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract for parts and materials.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise April 4, 2018
Bid Opening April 24, 2018
Award May 17, 2018
Completion December 31, 2018
Funds for the expenditure are available in Account 201-50000-645680.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to advertise Contract 18-910-21.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance & Operations, BAP:SO’C:MAG:JR:DR
