From:                   Carey Meyer, PW Director

Date:                    July 16, 2018

Subject:              Award of Construction Contract

Ramp 2 Restroom Water Main Extension Harbor Backflow Prevention Facilities Relocation

The Homer City Council passed Ordinance 18-30 appropriating $35,911 from the Harbor Depreciation Reserve Fund for the Relocation of the Ramp 2 Harbor Backflow Prevention Facilities.

On June 28, 2018, quotes were received for the installation of a water main to the existing Ramp 2 restroom to allow the backflow prevention devices to be relocated inside the restroom. Quotes were solicited from a dozen local area contractors utilizing the Fax Back bidding procedure in conformance with the City’s Procurement Policy.  

One responsive bid was received.  The results are as follows.

Responsive Bidder’s Names                   Location                                Amount

Property Improvements                       Homer                                $    18,000

Engineer’s Estimate                                                    $    19,500

The City’s 5% local bidder’s preference does apply to this award. The low bidder is local.

The low bid is within the project budget approved by the City Council. With Council approval, Public Works expects the work to commence August 27 and be completed by August 31 (after restroom demolition; before restroom replacement begins).

Recommendation:

City Council pass a resolution awarding the water main extension contract for the Harbor Ramp 2 Restroom Backflow Prevention Relocation project in the amount of $18,000 to Property Management, Homer, Alaska and authorizing the City Manager to execute all appropriate documents necessary to complete this project.
