Hansz, P.E., Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Award Bid — Water System Electrical Upgrades MEETING DATE: April 5, 2004 BACKGROUND: The current water operations budget includes three projects to upgrade the electrical systems at various sites in the system. The general areas of work include upgrades of the SCADA control system, installation of an emergency generator at Armory well and general replacement of obsolete electrical systems at all the older sites. Most equipment at these sites is obsolete and obtaining spares is frequently a serious problem. In addition, some older circuits at these sites have internal faults that cause operating personnel to receive shocks when attempting to diagnose problems. Four bids were received by the 23 March deadline. The project electrical designer has reviewed the bids and recommends award to Terrex Industries based on their low bid of $290,000.00. The budget includes approximately $320,000.00 to fund this work. The engineer's recommendation and bid tabulation is attached.
