The low bid submitted by Gridor <br />Construction, Inc, was $236,758,00 resulting in a total project cost of approximately $280,000 <br />(including engineering and inspection fees), The CIP included $200,000 for this work. The <br />project was not awarded at the February 28, 2005 council meeting due to concerns about the <br />$80,000 budget amendment requircd for the project. <br /> <br />We have prepared a financial analysis of four options in an effort to provide Council with <br />additional information to assist with the decision on whether to award this project as is with two <br />lift stations or reject all bids and restructure the packaging of our lift station improvements, <br /> <br />Our estimatcs used for the analysis are based upon the actual bids and conversations with Gridor <br />Construction regarding the possibility of doing the work as single lift stations (over the course of <br />several ycars) or multiplc lift stations in one projcct. for comparison purposes, we have assumed <br />that the Council still desires to complete the reconstruction of the six remaining "old technology" <br />lift stations within the 5 year CIP. A total of $600,000 was budgeted in the 5 year CIP (in three <br />projects) to reconstruct thc lift stations. The 5 year crp included $175,000 for SCADA system <br />installation and $325,000 for sanitary sewer pipe repair/lining and joint sealing as well. Therefore <br />a total of 1,1 million is budgeted for sanitary sewer capital improvements over thc next five <br />years. The following is a synopsis of the financial implications for the various lift station delivery <br />options: <br /> <br />C\Documents and Seuings\MichelleW\L.JCal Settings\Temporary Internet Filcs\OLK W-Lift Station Options Memo J-28-05.do( <br />
