(RCI) be rejected due to the following In addition to this project, RCI, a relatively new company and new proposer on City projects, submitted low bids on the following City projects • Water and Sewer Replacement on White Settlement Road (approved on January 22, 2002 by M&C C-18933), and • Wesleyan Drive from Rosedale Street to Vickery Boulevard, Unit 1 (Water Replacement), and • Water and Sewer Replacement Contract 2001 WSM-A. As is customary when the potential for multiple awards exists, staff has conducted an informal assessment of RCI's financial, experience, manpower and equipment records to ensure that RCI can simultaneously and satisfactorily construct all four projects Staff has concluded that RCI should be awarded the Wesleyan Drive water replacement and the White Settlement Road water and sewer project. This action will allow the City to monitor RCI's performance and provide a more favorable opportunity for success. Staff does not believe that awarding RCI all four contracts at this time is in the best interests of the City or RCI, based on a lack of performance history on City projects Staff recommends, therefore, that the City Council reject RCI's bid for this project and award the contract to S H U C , Inc. Staff will be recommending that the City Council take similar action on the project for water and sewer replacement contract 2001 WSM-A. RCI has been informed in writing of the above recommendations In addition to the contract cost, $29,800 00 (water $22,500 00, and sewer $7,300 00) is required for inspection and survey by the Engineering Department, and $21,300 00 (water $16,100 00, and. sewer $5,200 00) is required for project contingencies. t City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE 3/19/02 REFERENCE NUMBER C-19010 LOG NAME 30STMD PAGE 3 of 3 suB.lECT APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AND AWARD OF CONTRACT TO S H U C , INC FOR WATER AND SANITARY SEWER REPLACEMENT CONTRACT 2001 STM-D S H U C , Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 23% M/V1IBE participation The City's goal on this project is 23% FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION The Finance Director certifies that upon approval and completion of recommendation No 1, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budgets, as appropriated, of the Water Capital Project Fund and the Sewer Capital Project Fund BG k i Submitted for City Manager's FUND ACCOUNT CENTER AMOUNT CITY SECRETARY Office by: (to) 1 &2) PW53 472045 060530176180 $359,532.31 Bridgette Garrett/Acting 6140 1&2) PS58 472045 070580175500 $116,217.56 Originating Department Head: 2) PW53 531200 060530176180 $337,032.31 2) PW53 531350 030530176180 $ 22,500.00 2) PS58 531200 070580175500 $108,917.56 2) PS58 531350 030580175500 $ 7,300.00 Douglas Rademaker 6157 (from) APPROVED 03/19/02 3) PS58 531200 070580175500 $103,717.56 ORD.# 15032 Additional Information Contact: 3) PW53 531200 060530176180 $320,932.31 1) PE45 538070 0609020 $359,532.31 i Douglas Rademaker 6157 1) PE45 538070 0709020 $116,217.56
