FOR THE CLEAR FORK RAW WATER PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with North Texas Municipal Construction Company, Inc. for the Clear Fork Raw Water Pump Station Improvements, on the low bid of$1,743,000. DISCUSSION: On October 6, 1998 (M&C C-17034), the City Council authorized the execution of an engineering agreement with Black & Veatch, Inc. for design and construction management of the Clear Fork Raw Water Pump Station Improvements. The North and South Holly Water Treatment plants require an additional raw water supply for peak water demand periods. An expansion at the Clear Fork Raw Water Pump Station will allow the use of water stored at Lake Benbrook by the Tarrant County Regional Water Board. The Clear Fork Raw Water Pump Station Improvements project includes the installation of two new 30 MGD (million gallons per day) pumps with variable speed drives, the replacement of the two existing 30 MGD pumps, modifications to the raw water intake structure, installation of two new screening units, and replacement of the obsolete electric switch-gear. The four new pumps were previously pre- selected due to the long lead-time in ordering large pumps, and the purchase contract will be assigned to this construction contract. On December 30, 1999, the following bids were received: Bidder Amount Bid Time of Completion North Texas Municipal Construction Co.. Inc. $1,743,000 180 Calendar Days Oscar Renda Contracting $1,799,500 Red River Construction Co. $1,799,900 Architectural Utilities, Inc. $1,835,000 R.M.
