Water Tower No. 3 is a 1.5 million gallons (MG) <br />composite tower located off Birch Street and Centerville Road (City Property) site. The project <br />also includes site grading for future park improvements. <br />The bids included three alternates; Bid Alternate 1 for schedule and bid alternates 2 and 3 for <br />thinner piling pipe for the tower foundation. The Tower is a performance based contract where <br />the contractor's structural engineer completes the specified WEAP analysis for the structural <br />piling to determine if thinner piling pipe can be used in lieu of the thicker base bid piling pipe. <br />Bids were received for the above -referenced project on Tuesday, August 20, 2019. A total of <br />four bids were received. The bids were checked for mathematical accuracy and tabulated. Bid <br />Alternate 1 is recommended to extend the completion date at a reduced cost. Bid Alternates 2 <br />and 3 for the thinner piling were not favorable numbers, and thus are not recommended for <br />award. The base bid piling is thicker, heavy duty pipe for the foundation system for the water <br />tower.
