RE:

Award of Outdoor Pool Domestic Water Heater Bid

DISCUSSION

Parks and Recreation had worked with a plumbing company to determine the best replacement at the Outdoor Pool. Longevity and volume of output were major considerations. A Lochinvar SIT080 or equal was determined to be the best fit for the City’s application.

Bids were opened on Wednesday, August 9, 2023

Outdoor Pool Domestic Water Heater Bids
Contractor	Bid
Montezuma Valley Plumbing LLC	$4,904.90
Farmington Heating and Metal, Co.	$8,848.00
Altitude Backflow Services	$5,900.39
Roseberrys' Plumbing and Heating, Inc	$5,800.00
Sparks Plumbing and Heating, Inc	$5,197.99

BACKGROUND

Each locker room in the Outdoor Pool is designed to be fed hot water by a dedicated water heater. Two years ago, one of the units failed, and a bandaid repair was made to plumb one water heater into both locker rooms. While this works, it causes a limited supply of hot water. The current water heaters are 20 years old. We plan to replace both hot water heaters. This project was approved for replacement in the 2023 budget. Bid documents were prepared and advertised. Bids were received from (5) firms.

FISCAL IMPACT

The Outdoor Pool Water Heater Replacement project was budgeted at $20,000. The low bid amount for two units is $9,809.80, well below the budgeted amount.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the Council award the Outdoor Pool Domestic Water Heater bid to Montezuma Valley Plumbing for two water heaters, not exceeding $9,809.80.

MOTION

If agreed upon by the City Council, a possible motion would be:
I move that Council award the Outdoor Pool Domestic Water Heater bid to Montezuma Valley Plumbing for two water heaters, not exceeding $9,809.80.
