TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MAY 3, 2018
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to increase cost estimate for Contract 18-708-21, Furnish, Deliver, and Install Influent Gate Actuators at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant, from $200,000.00 to $270,000.00, Account 201-50000-645650, Requisition 1481930
Body
Dear Sir:
On March 15, 2018, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise Contract 18-708-21, Furnish, Deliver, and Install Influent Gate Actuators at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant for an estimated cost of $200,000.00. During the initial preparation of the scope of contract work, operational requirements prevented a full determination of the existing conditions. A subsequent examination of the existing specification, current market conditions, and the availability of providers, indicated that the contract cost estimate must be increased.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to increase the cost estimate for Contract 18-708-21 from $200,000.00 to $270,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645650.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO'C:MAG:JR:JMC:WB :MK
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for May 3, 2018
