Memorandum 14-032

To:                       Walt Wrede, City Manager

From:                  Dan Nelsen, Project Manager

Through:           Carey Meyer, PW Director

Date:                   February 14, 2014

Subject:             Award of Construction Contract Homer Airport Underground Fuel Tank Removal

On February 13, 2014 bids were received for the Homer Airport Underground Fuel Tank Removal project.  This work was advertised via email/fax to 12 area contractors.

This project will consist of removing the underground fuel oil tank and capping all pipes and conduits that supply it along with backfilling and re-seeding the removal area. The removal of this tank will significantly reduce the City’s potential liability associated with the underground fuel tank.

Six responsive bids were received from qualified firms.  The bid results were evaluated and the results are as follows.

Responsive Bidder’s Names                                               Location                           Amount

The only local bidder was more than 5% of the lowest bid received, therefore the City’s local bidder’s preference does not apply.

Recommendation:

City Council pass a resolution awarding the construction contract for the Homer Airport Underground Fuel Tank Removal project in the amount of $4,700.00 to Paul’s Service of Anchor Point, Alaska, and authorizing the City Manager to execute all appropriate documents necessary to complete this project.
