Explanation:
The 2007/2008 Wastewater System Master Plan identified the need to implement a City-wide program to rehabilitate and to upgrade several existing and City-owned sanitary sewer lift stations.
Lift Station A-9, located at 6960 Arthur Street, was included in the Wastewater System Master Plan as one of the lift stations to be upgraded.
Due to space constraints, the new Lift Station A-9 will be constructed across the street from its current location.
The City of Hollywood Commission approved Resolution No. R-2010-041 on March 10, 2010 authorizing AECOM to provide professional engineering services related to the design, permitting, bidding and construction services for the conversion/upgrade of several sanitary sewer lift stations.
On December 10, 2013, the Department of Public Utilities staff advertised the project soliciting qualified construction services, and on January 21, 2014, three (3) bid proposals were received at the Office of the City Clerk and were publicly opened at the City of Hollywood Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant with the following results:
No. Bidder Bid
1 Metro Equipment Service, Inc. $644,659.00
2 Intercounty Engineering, Inc. $720,010.00
3 Metro Underground of Florida, Inc. $754,564.00
After thoroughly evaluating the bid proposals for compliance with the contract documents, AECOM staff determined that Metro Equipment Service, Inc. is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
A Notice of Intent to Award related to the project was posted in the City of Hollywood web site, in Demand Star, and was sent via email on February 4, 2014 to all the bidders.
The posting of the Notice of Intent to Award resulted in no bid protests.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City Officials to execute the attached contract between Metro Equipment Services, Inc. and the City of Hollywood for the Lift Station Conversion/Upgrade Program for Lift Station A-9, in the amount of $644,659.00.
Funding for this project in the amount of $205,834.77 that is available in account number 42.4000.09871.536.006301 was included in a Capital Improvement Program Amendment that was approved by the Commission via Resolution No. R-09-183; and
It is necessary to amend the approved Fiscal Year 2009 Capital Improvement Program and allocate funding for the remaining portion of the contract in the amount of $438,824.23, as set forth in Exhibit A; and
The estimated construction completion time is 120 calendar days.
