• Base bid = $ 4,875,068.50 • Alternate bid = $ 4,916,194.50 The $1.4+M difference in costs between the preliminary construction cost estimate and estimated construction costs based on final plans and specification is due to the inflated unit bid prices for PVC pipe materials. Funding for this project is proposed to come from sewer and water enterprise funds. For almost two decades, municipal water users have been contributing to a future water treatment plant, which includes off -site trunk watermain improvements required to provide the plant with raw water, and to transport treated (finished) water out to the distribution mains. Recommendation: Staff and SEH, Inc. recommend approving alternative #1. On January 18, 2022, the Public Works Committee recommended City Council approval to reject bids and authorize Staff to work with SEH, Inc. to revise the approved plans to reduce project costs and to monitor the bidding environment to identify the most favorable time to bid the project again. Outcome/Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #22-033 rejecting bids for the Water Treatment Plant Trunk Watermain Improvements, Improvement Project #21-08, and authorizing Staff to work with SEH, Inc. to revise the approved plans to reduce project costs and to monitor the bidding environment to identify the most favorable time to bid the project again.
