CDM Smith also found each of the bidders responsive and performed a positive reference check on the
<br />apparent low bidder. CDM Smith recommends that the construction contract be awarded to the "lowest,
<br />responsive, responsible bidder", Thalle Construction Company, Inc. of Hillsborough, North Carolina for IRC
<br />Bid No. 2018025. See Attachment 3 for CDM Smith's evaluation of bids as well as summary below. CDM
<br />Smith recommends the award of a contract Base Bid Items 1-6 in the amount of $14,576,600.00 with a
<br />contingency of 10% of the base bid in the amount of $1,457,660.00, with a grand total amount of
<br />$16,034,260.00. All contingency amounts will require approval on a case-by-case basis for inclusion in the
<br />project.
<br />PERMITTING STATUS:
<br />On January 26, 2018, CDM Smith submitted to the FDEP a landfill intermediate modification to permit
<br />0128769 -022 -SC (construction) and minor modification to permit 0128769 -023 -SO (operations). On
<br />March 12, 2018, the FDEP issued a "Notice of Intent to Issue Permit Modification Nos. 0128769 -026 -SC -
<br />IM & 0128769 -027 -SO -MM". Per FDEP requirements, SWDD published this notice in the Press Journal on
<br />March 15, 2018. On April 2, 2018, the FDEP issued the permit to SWDD to proceed with the construction
<br />of this project.
<br />On March 14, 2018, CDM Smith submitted to the FDEP a Notice of Intent to use the General Permit for
<br />Construction of Water Main Extensions. On March 21, 2018, the FDEP issued a "Notification of Acceptance
<br />of Use of a General Permit".
<br />The contractor would be responsible for obtaining any other necessary construction/building permits
<br />identified in the bid documents.
<br />FUNDING:
<br />The Segment 3 Cell 2 Expansion and Segment 2 Partial Closure projects are funded from separate revenue
<br />sources; specifically, the closure cost is paid from an escrow account long established per FDEP
<br />requirements. Annually, CDM Smith prepares a Financial Assurance Report in which they recommend
<br />amounts that the SWDD should collect and place in the closure escrow account.
<br />The Segment 2 Partial Closure project has been given a substantial completion time of 180 calendar days,
<br />and the Segment 3 Cell 2 expansion project has been given a substantial completion time of 360 calendar
<br />days. Therefore, both projects will include work/invoicing in the current fiscal year and next fiscal year.
<br />Please note, there will be engineering construction services that will be required to oversee the project
<br />due to its technical and involved construction process. These costs are provided in more detail in a
<br />separate agenda item for SWDD Board approval. However, a summary of these costs is included below to
<br />provide an overall budgetary impact from these projects.
