PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

W.O. 17-01, Schedule 2, Sanitary Sewer and Water Rehabilitation Project, will replace approximately 9,300 feet of 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer and 2,300 feet of 12-inch and 16-inch diameter water main in various locations in the City.  The project was bid with three separate schedules, with each schedule being awarded to the lowest bidder.

The project was advertised on April 13th, 20th, 27th, and May 4th in the Billings Times and on the City's website. Bids were opened on May 9, 2017, and 3 bids were received. COP Construction submitted the lowest responsible bid for Schedule 2A and 2B and Western Municipal Construction submitted the lowest responsible bid for Schedule 2C.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED

City Council may:
  • Approve the construction contracts for Schedule 2A to COP Construction, LLC in the amount of $840,403.00,  Schedule 2B  to COP Construction, LLC in the amount of $1,279,526.00, and Schedule 2C to Western Municipal Construction, Inc. in the amount of $681,877.00, or;
  • Do not approve the construction contract.  If the project is not constructed, the City's water and waste water system will continue to experience ongoing maintenance problems such as more frequently occurring main breaks in this area.  Future repair costs and property damage claims can be minimized by completing this project.
