SYNOPSIS: The purpose of this Board item is to authorize the initial contract to improve the supply capability of the reclaimed water system expansion. The City Commission previously decided to locate the distribution system pumping and storage improvements near the Oak Forest spray fields to minimize the footprint and impacts of the reclaimed water augmentation facility to be constructed northof the dog park on Lake Jesup. CONSIDERATIONS: This contract is needed to provide reclaimed water storage and pumping for the Lake Jesup Reclaimed Water Augmentation project. It consists of a three million gallon pre- stressed concrete tank, electrical control building, and three high service pumps. The site design allows for a future three million gallon storage tank and two additional high service pumps. Upon completion, this facility can be put into service immediately as it is not dependent upon the augmentation facility to be constructed at Central Winds Park. The project was advertised for bid on April 25, 2010 as ITB #006 /10 KL. Bids were subsequently opened on June 9, 2010 with ten bidders responding. Base bids ranged from $1,562,000 to $1,779,000 which is an exceptionally tight grouping of bids reflecting the competitive construction environment. The engineers estimate was $1,888,000. The bid summary is attached. 082310_ COMM _Consent_203_Oak_Forest_Recla imed_W ater_Pu m ping_ &_Storage August 23, 2010 Consent Agenda Item 203 Page 2 _ -m- / 1 '�� /� • l 'I .I ' . 1 . . 1 ' ( 1 1 , i, 1, a ',I, V '1' 1111 V 1 0 I —N— �1 _it I C V t. 9 � \ ■ ■ I I g1 1 II z i , II 1f =:'. il ,,, , 7 - PROJECT � �l i i i s �' 1 / AR EA ''�.,, I a I (� --� .---.

The additive alternates will not be awarded. CPH Engineers have reviewed the bids and references - their recommendation letter is attached. FISCAL IMPACT: The need to proceed with this project is related to the St. Johns River Water Management District grant awarded to the City. The grant pays 30% of the reclaimed water augmentation construction costs up to $1,280,000. The $4.2M the City would need to spend to maximize the grant is required to be completed by April 2012. It is anticipated that the filtration and pumping at the Lake Jesup augmentation facility will be bid in approximately 90 days and cost in the $2.5M range as shown below. PROJECT BASE BID CONTINGENCY TOTAL GRANT NET COST Oak Forest Pumping/Storage $1,562,000 $78,100 $1,640,100 ($492,000) $1,148,070 Lake Jesup Filtration/Pumping $2,501,810 $125,090 $2,626,900 ($788,000) $1,838,900 Total $4,267,000 ($1,280,000) $2,986,970 The Finance Director is in the process of soliciting proposals for construction and permanent financing for the $3,000,000 net needed for these initial reclaimed water production related projects. In the interim, approximately $1,200,000 net need for this project is proposed to be funded from Utility Enterprise Fund Reserves which are projected to be at $4,561,844 as of September 30, 2010. This will not violate the City's fiscal policy which requires 25% reserves or approximately $2,500,000 to remain in the Utility Enterprise Fund. The final determination of the funding options will be brought to the City Commission at a future meeting. 082310_ COMM _Consent_203_Oak_Forest_Recla imed_W ater_Pu m ping_ &_Storage Consent Agenda Item 203 August 23, 2010 Page 4 COMMUNICATION EFFORTS: The proposed construction schedule will be provided to the Oak Forest HOA, Oak Forest Unit 8 HOA, and the Oak Forest residents on the west side of Trotwood that abut the project. The HOA's were previously notified when the concept plan was approved by the Commission. Project signage will also be provided in the construction area identifying the project. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Commission authorize an Agreement with Beach Construction at a cost of $1,562,000 plus a 5% contingency payable with a supplemental appropriation from the Utility Enterprise Fund and authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare and execute any and all applicable documents.
