Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to increase cost estimate for Contract 18-803-32, Gravity Concentration Tank Rehabilitation at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, from $1,650,000.00 to $2,300,000.00, Account 401-50000-645650, Requisition 1491106
Body
Dear Sir:
On August 2, 2018 the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise Contract 18-803-31, Gravity Concentration Tank Rehabilitation at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, for an estimated cost of $1,650,000.00.
The contract cost estimate has been increased to reflect the labor and equipment required to perform the contract work in the Concentration building, which has restricted access due to low headroom, lack of an overhead crane, and access solely through a service door. Material costs have also been updated to account for the varying prices of components from collector equipment manufacturers.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to increase the contract cost estimate from $1,650,000.00 to $2,300,000.00.
The adjusted bid deposit for this contract is $115,000.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) will be included in this contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V, will be included in this Contract. The type of work performed under the Contract is within the “Mechanical” category for establishing utilization goals for Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE), Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE), Small Business Enterprises (SBE), and Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (VBE). The utilization goals for this Contract are 20% MBE, 9% WBE, 10% SBE and 3% VBE.
Funds are available in Account 401-50000-645650.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, EJS:BK:MAG:JR:JMC:WB:DS
