SEH completed the plans and specifications for this project. It was then <br />advertised in the Construction Bulletin as well as the City’s official newspaper to <br />receive competitive quotes. The City received just one quote for this project, <br />which was nearly twice as much as the estimate provided by SEH. Due to the <br />difficulty in receiving competitive quotes, Staff redefined the project to focus on <br />the doors at Treatment Plant No. 1- which need to be addressed as soon as <br />possible due to security reasons. The window and awning replacement for Well <br />No. 2 will be included with a future project. As a result of redefining this project, <br />the original budgeted amount of $25,000 in 2006 was reduced to $13,000 in <br />2007. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />Water Treatment Plant No. 1 was constructed in 1991. The doors (and the <br />associated hardware) of this plant are currently in very poor condition. To ensure <br />public safety, it is imperative that this building is secured. The existing doors, in <br />their current condition, compromises this security. It is therefore necessary that <br />they be replaced. <br /> <br />The existing doors are currently constructed out of steel. Steel was selected in <br />the original construction due to the secured nature of the building. However, the <br />steel is reacting negatively with the chemicals needed to successfully treat the <br />water going through the plant. As a result, they have rusted to the point where <br />they are hard to secure. There are two double doorways that are proposed for re <br />replacement: one for the chlorine room and the other for the sulfur dioxide room. <br />Due to the corrosive nature of the respective chemicals, it is recommended that a <br />stainless steel door be installed in the chlorine room and a galvanized door be <br />installed in the sulfur dioxide room <br /> <br />Staff has solicited quotes to perform this project; Staff has advertised for quotes <br />as well as directly contacting a number of construction companies. <br /> <br />Staff received quotes from DNR Construction Services, Inc. and John Nagengast <br />Doors, LLC. MP Johnson Construction, Inc. was contacted, however has failed <br />to submit a quote. The results of the quotes are as follows. <br /> <br />DNR Construction Services Inc. $17,846.00 + tax Total $19,005.99 <br />John Nagengast Doors, LLC $19,248.00 tax inclusive Total $19,248.00 <br />MP Johnson No quote submitted <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
