RESOLUTION NO. 93-054
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AWARDING A CONTRACT FOR FINAL
REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF SLUDGE FROM THE
LOWELL POINT SEWAGE LAGOON
WHEREAS, the city of Seward is under an EPA Compliance Order requiring that
the Lowell Point Sewage Lagoon must be repaired and returned to service by the end
of October 1993; and
WHEREAS, VRCA Environmental Services was awarded a contract in the fall of
1992 to remove sludge and debris from the Lowell Point Sewage Lagoon and was not
able to complete the work due to heavy rainfall and extremely cold weather during
November 1992; and
WHEREAS, it was not possible to determine the amount of work still needed until
the week of April 20, 1993, when the ice and snow cover melted from the Lagoon; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that the remaining sludge must be removed by
May 31, 1993, in order for Construction & Rigging to begin construction work by June
1st and complete the project by October 1993; and
WHEREAS, since there was not sufficient time to publicly advertise the work,
VRCA was requested to return and complete the work, and concurrently, sealed bids
were requested from Construction and Rigging and local contractors having the capability
to perform the work; and
WHEREAS, VRCA claims to have completed the work required under its contract
and has agreed not to resume work on the lagoon unless compensation is paid at cost
plus 15 percent; and
WHEREAS, METCO, Inc., submitted a bid responsive to the conditions specified
in the required bid packet;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. It is in the best interest of the public to waive formal bid procedures
outlined in Title 6 of the Seward City Code.
