COUZZO, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: RUSSELL K. WHITE, PUBLIC SERVICES MANAGER ~~ ~ SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM /WATER PLANT EXPANSION DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 2006 On September 19, 2006 we held a bid opening for the Water Plant Expansion. We had two (2) contractors bid this project. Wharton-Smith, Inc of Lake Monroe Florida came in at $2,677.000.00 and Florida Design Contractors of Lake Park Florida came in at $2,622.000.00 (copies attached). We budgeted $2,650.000.00. I am recommending we award the contract to Florida Design Contractors, Inc. It is important that we get this project moving due to the fact that our contract with the Town of Jupiter expires on June 30, 2007. I feel that barring no unforeseen problems, that we should be able to complete the expansion on time, and become independent from the Jupiter Water System. Once again, I stress the importance of getting this contract signed for this time sensitive project. Should you require additional information, please feel free to contact me.

D, 2006. MAYOR OF TEQUESTA Jim Humpage ATTEST: Gwen Carlisle Village Clerk ARCADISRMA Infrastructure, environment, facilities Via Overnight Michael R. Couzzo Village Manager Village of Tequesta 250 Tequesta Drive Suite 300 Tequesta, FL 33469 subject: WTP Expansion Bid/Contract Award Dear Mr. Couzzo: On September 19, 2006 bids were received on the referenced project. As you know, this project includes the addition of one 1.2 MGD R.O. train to the WTP, equipping of Well R-3 and facilities to allow for the replacement of gaseous chlorine with liquid chlorine. This project will bring the rated plant capacity to 5.1 MGD. The original plant design contemplated this expansion as it did the construction of Well R-3 and associated piping (previously completed). SFWMD has demonstrated their support of these projects by providing various significant grants to the Village. A grant for Well R-4 has also been provided. This well is required and will be equipped when the third train is installed. With the elimination of the Jupiter purchase contract in June, 2007 the system demands dictate the need to add the next train. Historical flows indicate that one additional train will marginally allow the system to satisfy the demand. Actual peak flows coupled with the long-term practical production capability of the WTP contribute to this determination. It is our understanding that a permanent emergency interconnect agreement will be negotiated with Jupiter to alleviate this concern. We do recommend that the Village continue to pursue securing any available grant funds and consider installation of the third train when possible. Two bids were received for the project. We had hoped for more, but frankly, are not unhappy to receive two competitive bids from known contractor's in the current (very busy) bidding climate. The results are summarized below: Florida Desi n Contractors, Inc. $2,622,000 Wharton-Smith, Inc. $2,677,000 Part of a bigger picture ARCADIS RMA, Inc. 2081 Vista Parkway West Palm Beach Florida 33411 Tel 561 697 7000 Fax 561 697 7751 www.arcadis-us.com License No. EB 4757 WATER RESOURCES Date: October 4, 2006 Contact: William D.

We have received and reviewed the qualifications of the low bidder and find them to satisfy the qualifications criteria set forth in the bid documents. Copies of our inquiry, their response and our investigation results are attached. Note, there was one minor irregularity on low bidders bid form related to identification of the manufacturer to be used for one piece of equipment. We find their explanation and associated response to be acceptable. It should be noted that timely award of this project is critical to scheduled completion and capacity availability by the time the Jupiter contract expires. Based on the above considerations, we recommend award of the WTP Expansion project to Florida Design Contractors, Inc. in the low bid amount of $2,622,000. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please call. Sincerely, ARCADI MA, nc. ~~ , L_~ William D. Reese, P.E. Vice President Enclosures Michael R.
