Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 24-695-21, Truck Scale Replacement at Various Locations, Groups A, B and C, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to replace truck scales at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, the Lawndale Avenue Solids Management Area, and at the Calumet Solids Management Area. Work under this contract will include demolition and removal of the existing scales, and installation of new scales. There will be three groups: Group A for SWRP, Group B for LASMA and Group C for CALSMA. Separate contracts could be awarded for each group.
The estimated cost for this contract is $850,000.00. The estimated 2024 and 2025 expenditures are $600,000.00 and $250,000.00, respectively.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) will be included in this contract.
The Revised Appendix D and Appendix V will not be included in this contract due to an insufficient number of MBE/WBE/VBE firms available that can perform the requested services.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise June 5, 2024
Bid Opening June 25, 2024
