Title
Award of Bid No. IFB 25-30 with L.A. Inc. for the Purpose of the Lift Station Rehabilitation Project - Los Arboles and North Road
Recommended Action
I move that Council approve the Award of Bid No. IFB 25-30 with L.A. Inc. for the Purpose of Lift Station Rehabilitation Project - Los Arboles and North Road in the Amount of $339,450.00, and a contingency in the amount of $85,000.00, for a total of $424,450.00 plus Applicable Gross Receipts Tax.
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that Council approve as presented.
Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation
The Board of Public Utilities approved this recommendation at their regular meeting on October 23, 2024 and recommends that Council approve as presented.
Body
The project will rehabilitate two of the oldest lift stations in the wastewater collection system. The work will include replacing the pumps, controls, electric service, valves and other supporting equipment. The existing equipment in the lift station is at the end of its useful life and is becoming unreliable. Two bids for the project were received and L.A., Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder. The project will be awarded in early November but the majority of the work will take place in spring 2025 due to winter conditions and procurement of long lead items.
Alternatives
If Council does not award the project, staff will continue to pursue the project due to the high risk of failure of the existing lift stations.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
The project is funded in FY2025 in the amount of $200,000, and the remainder of the cost will be funded by the $246,000 underrun in the wastewater portion of the Bathtub Row, Peach and Nectar Road Utilities Upgrade project.
