Re: WPC -GA -205
Gentlemen:
Bids for the construction of the Sewage Treatment Plant, Sewage
Pumping Stations and Sanitary Sewers, Project WPC -GA -205 were
received at 11:00 a.m. April 26, 1972 and publicly opened by
Councilman Edward Jung. We have checked the arithmetic of the
bids and while there were some minor errors, the corrections
have been made and the standings remain as publicly read.
The following bids were submitted:
Eastern Construction Company, Savannah, Georgia $1,046,075.66
Latex Construction Company, Thunderbolt, Georgia 1,182,508.60
Peabody Petersen Company, Orlando, Florida 1,301,749.00
A. B. Lee Plumbing Company, Macon, Georgia 1,352,126.00
Erickson's Inc., Savannah, Georgia 1,370,357.45
Bidders were required to submit prices on Deductive Alternates that
could be accepted if the work exceeded available funds. The deduc-
tions offered by the low bidder for these alternates are:
In Sewage Treatment Plant:
1.A. Delete Roof Ventilator
1.B. Delete Air in Grit Separator
1.C. Substitute Chlorine Residual Analyser
1.D. Delete D. O. Monitoring System
2. Substitute D. C. for Tone Telemetry
3. Delete Stanly Power at Pumping Station 6
4. Delete Stanly Power at Treatment Plant
$ 193.00
1,700.00
2,000.00
6,000:00
6,400.00
14,312.00
11,937.00
Deductive Alternatw No IA (Roof Ventilator) was provided to exhaust
the heat from the variable speed pump motors. Manufacturers have
submitted data based upon solid state controls that produce little
or no heat, and upon devices that dissipate the heat in the sewer.
It is therefore our poinion that the roof ventilator is not necessary
and we recommend that this deduttion be accepted.
All other alternates reduce the quality of the project and will in-
crease the difficulty of getting the best treatment. We therefore
recommend that Alternates iB through 4 not be accepted.
In our Report of March 30, 1972 which sets up the method of finacing
the work, we estimated the total cost of this project to be $1,240,00.
This included 10% for Contingencies that should now be reduced to
5% since firm bids have been submitted. A comparision of the
estimated costs versus the costs based upon bid prices are:
March 30 Estimate Based uponBB1.dPPices
Construction Cost $1,000,000.00 $1,045,882.66
Engineering 6% 60,000.00 62,752.96
Resident Inspection 12,000.00 12,000.00
Operating Manual & Start -up 4,000.00 4,000.00
Legal & Fiscal 16,900.00 16,900.00
Interest during Construction 30,000.00 30,000.00
Administrative 5,000.00 5,000.00
Contingency 112,300.00 159,464.38
TOTAL $1,240,000.00 $1,236,000.00
It therefore appears that sufficient funds are available for the Project
and we recommend that the work be awarded to Eastern Constriction Com-
pany with Deductive Alternate lA accepted so that the contract amount is
$1,045,882.66.
Very truly yours,
Thomas & Hutton Engineering Co.
