MEMORANDUM
To: Doug Russell, City Manager
From: Susie Turner, PE, Director of Public Works
Re: Upper Zone Wells Project
Meeting Date: November 15, 2021
BACKGROUND: The City of Kalispell has received sealed unit price bids for the Upper Zone
Wells Project. The project is the first phase for completion of new well and pump facilities to
provide source water for the Public Water Supply. The construction includes well drilling, casing
and screen installation, and aquifer testing for water rights application.
Bids were received and opened on November 4, 2021, at 2:00 PM. One responsive bid was
received from a regional contractor:
Contractor:
O'Keefe Drilling
Engineer's Estimate
Total Bid Price
$578,250.00
$371,525.00
The contractor's cost to complete the project exceeds the engineers cost estimate by $206,725.00.
The contractor's bid includes some uncertainty (costs) in response to the drilling and pumping
specifications, access, scheduling conflicts, and the short start and completion timeline.
Considering the submittal of one bid, which is over the engineers estimate and the consultant's
review with bid plan holders, Public Works recommends re -bidding the project taking into
consideration the above listed items.
REQUESTED ACTION: Motion to reject bids received for the Upper Zone Wells Project.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None at this time. The total Wells Project construction cost will be funded
by the Water Operations Fund (5210-447-430550-954), which has a current balance of $853,600.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
