TO: Mary K. Koester, City Manager
FROM: Carey Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: August 19, 2015
SUBJECT: Award of Contract Ramp 5 Restroom Improvements
Cruise Ship Head Tax monies have been expended to improve facilities around the harbor for the benefit of cruise ship passengers. These improvements include new fenders on the Deep Water Dock, trails and amenities around the Small Boat Harbor, shelters, guard shack, art, banners, signage, and restrooms. Funding is available to construct one more restroom at Ramp 5.
The maintenance costs associated with the operations of this restroom will come from Harbor funds. The restroom will be heated using natural gas. The cost to pump the tank associated with the old restroom will be eliminated. Public Works completed the removal of the old restroom earlier this summer.
Public Works coordinated a design for a three-compartment restroom (compatible aesthetically with the other harbor restrooms) and solicited bids in accordance with the City’s procurement policy (bids advertised in the Homer Tribune July 15 and 22); four bids were received:
Steiner’s North Star Construction Homer $310,874
Beachy Construction Homer $279,600
Diversified Construction, Inc. Eagle River $336,000
Northern Industrial Training Palmer $314,260.38
Engineer’s Estimate $288,000
The firm of Beachy Construction was determined to be the low responsive bidder: the bid was below the engineer’s estimate; and the firm is qualified to complete the work.
Recommendation: The City Council pass a resolution awarding the contract for the Ramp 5 Restroom project to the firm of Beachy Construction of Homer, Alaska, in the amount of $279,600 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents.
Fiscal Note: 415-0931 ($279,600)
