MEMORANDUM
TO: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager
FROM: Thomas C. Hall, Water System Manager 4
11
DATE: December 7, 1995
SUBJECT: Water Plant-Filter Backwash Control Modifications
•
On October 26, 1995, we conducted a bid opening for the above project. Due
to the size of the project and electrical instrumentation requirements, only one bid was
received. Several attempts were made to induce interest in this project but due to
workloads and the previously mentioned reasons, only one bid was obtained. Bid was
as follows:
Contractor Project Amount
Edwards Electric Corporation $29,500.00
The Engineer's cost estimate for this project was $25,000.00. Our Consulting
Engineer for this work, Reese, Macon & Associates, has reviewed qualifications and
past performance history and find them an acceptable contractor for this work.
Edwards Electric has performed work on many Water Treatment facilities throughout '
the county and are specialists in industrial applications.
The project consists of modifications to electronic controls and replacement of
filter level probes. Our current system is antiquated and inoperative as designed, and
operators are having to perform manual backwashing of the filter vessels. This is both
time-consuming and restrictive relative to the workload of the facility staff.
Therefore, we recommend Village Council award this contract to Edwards
Electric Corporation of West Palm Beach, Florida, in the amount of $29,500.00.
Funding will be provided by the Water Enterprise Fund, Renewal and Replacement
Account having an FY 96 Budget amount of $35,000.00.
Please place this important item on the Council Agenda of December 14, 1995
for their approval.
