Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 08-824-11, for rehabilitation of one 48" Crane gate valve at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant.
The purpose of this Contract is to procure services and materials to rehabilitate one valve similar to the discharge valves on Main Sewage Pumps #1, #2, #3 and #4 in the Pump and Blower House at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. These valves operate in an abrasive and corrosive environment which gradually degrades their performance. Periodic rehabilitation is needed to restore these valves to meet or exceed the original manufacturer's specifications.
The bid deposit for this Contract is $9,000.00.
Appendix D is not included in this Contract because of the specialized nature of the work and the restricted number of potential bidders.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not included in this Contract because the work will be performed offsite at the Contractor's facility.
The estimated schedule for the project is as follows:
Advertise May 28, 2008
Open Bids June 17, 2008
Award August 14, 2008
Completion December 1, 2008.
The estimated cost for this Contract is $180,000.00. Funds are available in Account 101-68000-612650.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to advertise Contract 08-824-11.
