Title
Authorization to reject bids and re-bid the Surface Water Treatment Plant - Sludge Removal Project.
Body
Summary:
On July 8, 2019 we opened bids on the Surface Water Treatment Plant - Lagoon Cell #1 - Sludge Removal. We received two bids for this project, which were:
Lecon, Inc. $1,754,022.00
Synagro of Texas $1,033,867.25
This current fiscal year, we had $500,000 budgeted for this project. These funds will now be carried over to the 2019-2020 fiscal year. We previously requested an additional $500,000 for the 2019-2020 fiscal year budget. By carrying over the existing $500k to the next fiscal year will allow us a total of $1-million in the water / sewer fund to cover the cost of cleaning the lagoon.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact: funding will be through the water/sewer fund
Recommended action
