MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 13, 2006
TO: Jim Hansz, Public works Director
FROM: Joni Emrick, Water Resource Manager
RE: Wastewater Treatment Plant Control System PLC Replacement Bid Results
Two parties bid the PLC Replacement project. The bid sheet was divided into two
Schedules, A & B, designed so a single party could bid either one or both schedules of
work. Northwest Automation Inc. bid Schedule A for $106,910.00; Kalispell Electric,
Inc. bid Schedule B for $671,200.00. The total for both Schedule A & B is $174,11 0.0 ;
$200,000.00 was included in the FY07 WWTP Replacement Fund for this project.
Both parties meet the verifiable experience and work restriction requirements. I therefore
recommend that we accept both bids. Theresa asked if you would word a single motion
to include accepting both Schedules A & B.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
