Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: June 8, 2009
To: Phillip Oates, City Manager KKK
From: W.C. Casey, Public Works Director
Agenda Item: Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a
Contract with Peninsula Construction, Inc. for an
Amount Not to Exceed $281,500 to Complete the Lift Station #3
Building electrical Upgrade Project, and Appropriating Funds
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION•
The Public Works Department has been working with CRW Engineervig Group toward completing
the necessary electrical upgrades at Lift Station #3. This project was started several years ago, and
included several phases and sources of funding. An addition was built on the north side of the facility;
a generator was purchased (Seward Heatiy Industrial) and installed. Several other projects associated
with improvements to this facility were also completed (new roof, new siding, painting, drywall
installation, etc.). The wastewater utility funded some of these improvements from their operating
budget, and the Kenai Peninsula Borough also assisted in funding some of the improvements. It was
deternvned in 2006, that an upgrade and reconfiguration of the building electrical system was
necessary to accommodate current and future electrical demands at the site.
In 2006, the City contracted with CRW Engineering to facilitate the required electrical upgrades. The
staffat Public Works has worked diligently to contain costs, meet current building code requirements,
and assist in developing a project that has ADEC approval.
The City of Seward, Public Works Department advertised the Lift Station No. 3 Building Electrical
Upgrade Project on May 3, 2009. A tnandatorypre-bid conference was held at 11:00 a.m. on May 8,
2009 in the City Council Chambers at City Hall. Three prospective bidders attended the pre-bid
conference and accompanied City staffto the project work site. Submittal ofbids had to meet afast-
track deadline of May 20, 2009, due to time constraints associated with eligibility for ARRA money.
All ofthe required invitation to bid policies, defined by Seward City Code were followed. Staffwould
have preferred, although were not required, to have advertised for a longer period oftime. The shovel
ready requirement, with a Notice to Proceed Date of June 17, 2009, necessitated the urgency on the
part of staffto get a contractor hired as soon as possible, so as to not miss our opportunity for
funding from ARRA (Stimulus) funds.
Two of the three contractors who attended the mandatory pre-bid conference, submitted bids. The
responsive bidder that submitted the lowest bid was Peninsula Construction, Inc. Theirbid documents
were in order (as were the documents from the unsuccessful bidder), and both contractors bids, are
attached.
INTENT:
Award to the lowest responsible bidder, Peninsula Construction, Inc. a contract in the amount of
8281,500 for completing the Lift Station #3 Building Electrical Upgrades.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST•
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
