PINTO ' SUBJECT: WEST REGIONAL WASTEWATER <br />TREATMENT PLANT <br />FROM: RONALD R. BROOKS CONSTRUCTION BID <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Indian River County advertised for a re -bid on the construction of the <br />proposed 1.0 MGD West County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Two <br />re -bids were received and subsequently opened at'2:00 p.m. on Friday, July <br />12, 1985. The re -bids were as follows: <br />1) Metro Equipment and Construction Assoc., Inc. $1,374,600.00 <br />2) Falcon Mechanical, Inc. $1,437,447.00 <br />The re -bids also included a bid for construction of an Effluent Wastewater - <br />Pumping System, however, the Utilities Department has elected to not have <br />the system constructed because it's additional cost far out weighed it's <br />benefit. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The re -bids have been reviewed by the County's engineer of record for the <br />project, Carter Associates/Williams, Hatfield & Stoner, and they have <br />recommended that the construction project be awarded to the lowest bidder, <br />Metro Equipment and Construction Association, Inc. (See Exhibit 1). <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board award the construction project to Metro <br />Equipment and Construction Association, Inc. and authorize the chairman of <br />the Board to sign all the contracts for construction of the County's 1.0 <br />MGD West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock recalled that this was the item that <br />was rebid due to some confusion caused by the lack of a pre-bid <br />meeting. The original bid was $1.6 million and the two new bids <br />came in significantly lower. <br />Utilities Services Director Terry Pinto advised that Metro <br />Equipment has done an extensive amount of work in Indian River <br />County. He noted that while he would very much Itke to have this <br />project done for less money, this is what it is going to cost. <br />He emphasized that there is nothing gold plated about this <br />31 <br />AL 17 1985 BOOK 1 <br />
