It is being constructed by Alberg Water Services under an alternative bid that was a part of the construction of Well No. 3. At this point, it is necessary to install a well pump, valves, and connecting piping to the pump house containing Well No. 3 for chemical addition and chlorination. The supervisory controls also need to be expanded to make this well fully integrated with the water distribution system. The bids were ordered on February 10, and opened on March 13. The low bidder is EnComm Midwest, LLC, however, there were several alternative which were requested. One alternative is that a deduction of $8,500 has been offered if a subcontractor, Total Control System, is allowed to do the controls work which interfaces with the SCADA system currently being installed by a competing contractor. Mr. Jankowski explained that since there would be some coordination required between the two contractors, there is a disadvantage in that the source of problems may be difficult to assign to a particular contractor. On the positive side, it could be argued that the two contractors would be knowledgeable about the City's system for future service needs. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #98-03-054 awarding Improvement Project #98-13 to EnComm Midwest, LLC in the amount of $272,892.50, contingent upon approval of the City Attorney. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer, Beahen and Haas Steffen. Voting No: None.
