3. Approval of Revetment Contract with Harza Engineers
PRESENTED BY ALDERMAN JERRY HENRY
The Water Plant Oversight Committee and City Council have been discussing the expansion of the City’s Water Plant for over 18 months. One important component of that project is the
construction of an armor stone revetment, similar in look to those found at Lake Forest Beach.
At this evening’s Finance Committee meeting, staff presented a proposal from Dillingham Construction to install a revetment designed by Harza Engineering. Dillingham received the following
five bids from marine firms:
1) E.F. Gillen Co. $1,225,163
2) Thatcher Engineering $1,382,700
3) Rausch Construction $1,382,910
4) American Marine $1,740,210
5) John Keno & Co. No bid
Based on their low bid, it is recommended that the E.F. Gillen Co. undertake the work. The cost of supervision and inspection, fees, bonds, etc. is an additional $219,934, bringing
the total project cost to $1,445,097.
Staff is also recommending that a 10% contingency ($144,509) be authorized to accommodate any unforeseen conditions (i.e., currents scouring the lake bottom) that may require the placement
of more stone.
Recommended Action: 1) Award a contract to Dillingham Construction for the construction of an armor stone revetment at an amount not to exceed $1,445,097; and 2) authorize the City
Manager to expend up to $144,509 on additional stone placement if conditions warrant.
