a y <br /> � Page 2 <br /> bid was received in response to the advertisement process and opened on August 25. The result <br /> of the letting is as follows: <br /> Compared to <br /> Engineer's Est. <br /> Bidder Bid Price Over -Under� <br /> Engineer's Estimate $ 26,000.00 ---- <br /> Otto Baum& Sons, Inc. $ 28,300.00 8.85 <br /> The Department of Public Works decided to reject the single bid because of the receipt of <br /> only one bid, the estimated value of the work and the nature of the repair work. In discussions <br /> with Otto Baum after the bid opening, they asked whether other alternate repair methods had <br /> been considered that might save money on the project. As Otto Baum was the only bidder and <br /> essentially became a sole source provider, staff met with them to discuss other alternate methods. <br /> These discussions resulted in an alternate repair method that would provide an adequate <br /> temporary fix to the bulkhead until it has to be removed. In addition, it reduced the cost of <br /> repairs from the bid amount of$28,300 to $17,200.00. <br /> It was decided by staff that advertising the project a second time would further delay the <br /> needed repairs and have minimal cost savin�s to the City. For these reasons, it was decided that <br /> Otto Baum should be awarded a contract to make the repairs as a sole source provider based on <br /> the lack of bidder response to the City's advertisement of this project for bids. Otto Baum& Sons <br /> have performed acceptable work on previous projects for the City and was recently awarded a <br /> contract to make repairs to the sludge overflow structures at the North Water Treatment Plant. <br /> Funding for this project will be from the City's Water Fund. <br /> It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution awarding <br /> the contract for the SWTP Lagoon #1 Levee Repair, City Project No. 9845, to Otto Baum & <br /> Sons, Inc., in the amount of$17,200.00 and that the Mayor be authorized to execute the contract. <br /> City staff will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer questions that the <br /> Council members ma have. <br /> Y <br /> attch: 1 <br /> cc: Michael J.
