Authorization
REQUEST: Public WorksfUtility Division is Requesting Authorization to Issue a Notice
To Proceed for the Emergency Power Improvements Project.
PURPOSE: The pwpose ofthis Board item is to advise of the City Manager's intent to issue a
Notice To Proceed to Prime Construction Group, Inc. for the Emergency Power
Improvements project based on a cost of$933,500.00.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On November 22, 1995, bids for Bid #96-001 Emergency Power Improvements
Rebid were opened. The low bidder was Prime Construction Group, Inc. of Orlando with
a bid of$933,500.00. The bid was awarded to Prime Construction Group, Inc. on
December 4,1995 and the Notice of Award was issued on December 18,1995 and was
accepted by the contractor on January 4, 1996. The agreement was executed on January
10, 1996. We have withheld the Notice To Proceed to ensure that the current contract
with Wharton-Smith for the digester construction is completed and they have demobilized
prior to allowing this contract to proceed.
This project is for a new emergency generator at the East Water Reclamation
Facility (WRF), new generator at the West WRF, and relocating two generators to WTP
# 1 and WTP #3 to better match their power capabilities to projected needs. Also
included in this project is replacement of old motor control centers and providing new
disconnects and transfer switches at both WRF's. The East WRF currently has no
emergency power capability which was the main problem evidenced by Hurricane Erin.
FUNDING:
This project was budgeted in the current fiscal year in the Utility Department and
purchase orders were issued from the Capital Improvements line code (#56310-
$327,713.00), Renewal and Replacement line code (#56340 - $345,394.00) and Revenue
Generation Fund (#56370 - $260,393.00). Funds for this item will be expended over the
180 day contract time with the first pay request anticipated for April 15, 1996.
RECOMMENDATION:
I am advising the City Commission of the City Manager's intent to issue the Notice
To Proceed to Prime Construction Group, Inc. Construction of the $933,500.00
Emergency Power Improvement Project is to commence on March 4, 1996.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
The contract time for this project is 180 days. Work will commence on or before
March 4, 1996 and all work will be completed by August 31, 1996. We are optimistic that
all emergency power equipment is operational by July 1, 1996 for the majority of the
hurricane season.
