Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
Lift Station A-6 has been in service for more than 30 years and approaches its end of life cycle.
The capacity of the existing pumps at Lift Station A-6 needs to be upsized to accommodate additional sewer flow from the Triangle Professional Building Corp. III at 4150 Davie Road Extension.
Lift Station A-6 was installed and operated as a self-priming package station and needs to be converted to a submersible-type lift station to meet current lift station standards.
Triangle Professional agreed that the City will design and construct a new Lift Station A-6 and Triangle Professional Building Corp. III will pay for the design and construction administration associated with the pumps and electrical system.
Triangle Professional Building Corp. III also agreed to purchase the pumps, electrical panel, and associated components directly in order to save construction time.
On December 16, 2015, via Resolution R-2015-393, the City Commission approved a proposal from Craven Thompson Associates, Inc., in the amount of $60,929.14, to provide professional engineering services related to the design, permitting, bidding and construction services for Lift Station A-6.
On May 6, 2016, the Department of Public Utilities staff advertised the project, soliciting qualified construction services, and on June 9, 2016, four (4) 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.

1 IMR Contracting, Inc. $540,192.00
2 Comtech Engineering, Inc. $676,828.00
3 Intercounty Engineering, Inc. $687,365.00
4 V Engineering and Consulting $914,000.00
After thoroughly evaluating the bid proposals for compliance with the contract documents, Craven Thompson and Associates, Inc. staff determined the bid proposal received from IMR Contracting, Inc. to be non-responsive and non-responsible.
The second bidder, Comtech Engineering, Inc., was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
A Notice of Intent to Award related to the project was posted on the City of Hollywood website and on DemandStar on June 14, 2016 and resulted in no bid protests.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City Officials to execute the attached contract between Comtech Engineering, Inc. and the City of Hollywood for the Lift Station A-6 Upgrade in the amount of $676,828.00.
Funding for the Lift Station Conversion/Upgrade projects is included in the Capital Improvement Program for FY 2016 that was approved by the City Commission via Resolution No. R-2015-295 and is available in account number 42.4000.86871.536.026301.
