SUMMARYz Bids for demolition of the 2 existing water towers were opened on Wednesday, September 9, 1992 at 11:00 a.m. There were 8 bidders on this project. The bid was structured to allow the bidder to bid on the whole project which included demolition of the 2 towers and removal of the tower foundations: The specifications also allowed for deduct amounts to leave either tower foundation in place or for an alternate completion date. The bidders con- sisted of demolition contractors, water tower contractors, and general contractors. Bids ranged from a high of $375,575 to a low of $9,000 for the base bid; with deductions, bids ranged from a high of $153 , 100 to a low of the contractor paying the City $4,000. The bid tabulation is attached. Staff believes that the foundation at tower #1 should be removed. The $6,000 savings would not cover the cost to remove the founda- tion at a later date. If the area is used for a future -police station or other use, the foundation would need to be removed at that time. The foundation at tower #2 is not as critical. There is no projected City use at this time; however, the $7,000 sav- ings again would not cover future cost of removal should the need arise. The low bidder did not bid an alternate completion date, so there is no savings in for that issue. // Ric - etor City Engineer/Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION; Staff recommends that the City Council award the bid for tower demolition to H & H Watertower, Inc. in the amount of their bid of $9,000 with a $1,000 contingency for a total of $10,000 to be charged to Account Number 680-4121-705.
