CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS ATTEST /~ CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS JAC~//~: BAR~ON, CITY ATTORNEY CyOF DENTON, TEXAS 1XTICHOLS AND ENDRIiSS COI'($ULTING ~NGINE~ O~T WOKTH~ TE~S 76102 March 2~, 1969 Mr. Jack Owen Director of Public Works City of Denton Muntc'ipal Building Den=on~ Texas 76201 Re: Denton, Texas SeWage Treatment Plant Expansion WPC-Tex-471 Daar Jack: Bids were received on March 20, 1969, at the City of Denton Municipal Buxlding for the construction of a 4 MGD addition to the existing 2 b~D Activated Sludge Sewage Treatment Plant The prooect was broken down into three (3) separate contracts, as follows. 1)Sewage Treatment Plant Expansion - General Contract Mr. Owen - 2 - March 24, 1969 The low bid is approximately fifteen (15%) percent h~gher than the estimate of cost which was prepared several months ago. However, in view of the recent extremely rapid increase in both labor and mater~al costs, and the fact that the three lowest bids submitted were within ten (10%) of each other, we beheve the higher cost can be Justified. We therefore recommend, if sufficient funds can be made available, that the General Contract for the Sewage Treatment Plant Expansion be awarded to Elm Fork Construction Company at their low b~d of 854,830.00 2) Sludge Processing System. The sludge processing system which was specified for the plant expansion ~s a patented process, marketed and sold by only one firm. Therefore, only one bid was expected and only one b~d was submitted for this contract. The bid amount of $242,400 was the exact amount which the firm, Zimpro Division of Sterling Drug, Inc., quoted to the C~ty during the initial design phase of this prooect We therefore recommend that the Contract for the Sludge Processing System be awarded to Z~mpro D~v~ston of Sterling Drug, Inc. 3) Mayhill Road Water Main: A total of eleven (11) bids were received for this pro0ect, as follows B-W Construction Company $41,537 04 A. W. Boren Construction Co. 42,906.60 Kemp Construction Company 46,029.46 Steed Construction Company 46,979.30 F. M. Thornton 47,032 42 Tex-Con Utility Contractors,' Inc. 48,785 O0 Mackey B.

Collins, Contractor 75,570.60 The low bid was submitted by B-W Constructlon Company in the amount of $41,537 04 This Company has a good reputation and has constructed several of our pro3ects in other c~t~es We therefore recommend the Contract for the Mayh~ll Road Water Line be awarded to the low bidder, B-W Construction Company. 4) Pumping Units: Separate quotations were recelved for a Raw Sewage Pumping Unit and a pa~r of Scum Pumping Units. The Proposal for the General Contract included the amount of $15,000 for the Raw Sewage Pump and $2,000 for the Scum Pumps, wl=h these amounts to be adjusted by Change Order =o the actual purchase cost of the units. Quotations on the pumps were received from two (2) firms as follows: Mr. Owen . 3 . March 24, 1969 Raw Sewage Scum Supplier Pump Pumps Smith Pump Company $15,974.00 $2,050.00 Southern Engine & Pump Company 16,623.00 2,535 00 Efficiencies of the units proposed in each of the quotations are almost identical. We therefore recommend that the General Contractor for 6he Sewage Treatment Plant Expansion Contract be instructed to purchase the Raw Sewage Pumptng Units and the Scum Pumping Units from Smith Pump Company, and that a Change Order be issued to the General Contract changtng the amount of Proposal Item No. 2 (Raw Sewage Pump) from $15,000.00 to $15,974.00, and the amount of Proposal Item No. 3 (Scum Pumps) from $2,000.00 to $2,050.00. In summary, our recommendations for award of the various contracts are as follows: Recommended Contract Contract Contractor Amount Sewage Treatment Plant Expansion Elm Fork Construction Co. $854,830.00 ~ Sludge Processing System Zimpro Div. of Sterling Drug 242~400.00 Mayh~ll Road Water Ma~n B-W ConStruction Company 41~537.04 Amount to be added to General Contract by Change Order for Pumping Units I~024 00 / TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT $I~139,791.04 The bid amount of $85&,830100 for the Sewage Treatment plant Expansion includes several alternate items which may be deleted from the Contract at the Owner's option. These items are as follows: Proposal Bid ITem No. Description Amount 5. Plant Entrance Road $19,500 60 6. Potable Water System 2,750 00 7. New Clarlfter Influent Wells 4,000.00 8. Old Clarifier Influent Well 3,000 O0 9. Return Sludge Control Valve 100.00 10. Chlorine Storage Rack & Crane 5,700 O0 ll. Aeration Basin Spray System 3~000.00 TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALTERNATE ITEMS $38,050.00 Mr. Owen - 4 - March 24, 1969 Although none of these items are absolutely essential to the operation of the plant~ all except possibly the plant entrance road would contribute greatly tO the efficiency and flexibility of plant operations. The bid amounts for These items~ as tabulated above~ are oonstderably less than would be their cost if separate bids were received for their construction at a future date. We recom- mend tha~ all alternate items be included in the contract award if at all possible. We would point out that the award of this contract by the CltZ Council should be subject to concurrence by the Texas Water Quality Board and the Federal Water Pollution Control Admlntstra~lon~ as one of the requirements for the Federal grant money received under Pubhc Law 660 Respectfully submltted~ FREESE, NICHOLS AND ENDRESS Elvin C.
