Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution authorizing execution of the agreement with Price Construction for $72,345.00 pursuant to LB-06-12.

Analysis:

This project involves the removal of the existing altitude valves at the College Drive and Newell Hill Road water storage tanks.  The existing valves will be removed and replaced with new valves that can be integrated into the existing remote monitoring (SCADA) system used by Environmental Services.

On September 6, 2006 the Purchasing Division issued bid LB-06-12 soliciting qualified vendors to provide construction services in the replacement of two water storage tank altitude valves.  On that date two bids were received.  Price Construction was deemed to be the lowest responsive and responsible vendor.  The bid tabulation sheet is attached for your review.

Options:

1.  Approve the attached resolution authorizing the execution of the agreement with Price

     Construction Inc. for  $72,345.00; or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

Funds will be transferred from another account to cover this purchase.
