W.O. 13-06 Rehberg Ranch Center Pivot is a project to install an irrigation center pivot with pipeline and a pump near the bottom of the lower lagoon within the Reberg Ranch subdivision.  The pivot will be used to irrigate treated wastewater from the Rehberg Ranch area. The project is being funded from the wastewater funds. The project was advertised on February 21, 28, and March 7, 2013, in the Billings Times and on the City's Website.  Bids were opened on March 12, 2013, and two bids were received.  BPPS Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid.

The Council may:

• Award W.O. 13-06 to BPPS Inc. in the amount of $93,201.22; or
• Not award the contract to BPPS Inc. and reject all bids.  If this project is not constructed, the Wastewater Treatment Plant personnel will continue to struggle with a labor intensive water reel and will have difficulty keeping up with demands to irrigate wastewater as the subdivision continues to develop.
