"tn addition to this project, Rope Construction, Inc. (RCI), a relatively new company and bidder for City
projects, submitted low bids on the following City projects
• Water and sewer line .replacement in White Settlement Road (approved by M&C C-18933 dated
January 22, 2002), and
• Wesleyan Drive from Rosedale Street to Vickery Boulevard, Unit 1 (water line replacement), and
• Water and Sewer Line Replacements Contract 2001 STM-D
As is customary when the potential for multiple awards exists, staff conducted an informal assessment
of RCI's finances, experience, staffing, and equipment records to ensure that they can simultaneously
and satisfactorily construct all four projects. Staff concluded that RCI should be awarded the Wesleyan
Drive water fine replacement and the White Settlement Road water and sewer line projects 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 is in the best interest of the City or RCI,
based on a lack of performance history on City projects Therefore, staff recommends the City Council
reject RCI's bid for this project and award the contract to D R. Utilities, Inc., and will be recommending
similar action on the project for Water and Sewer Line Replacements Contract 2001 STM-D RCI has
been informed in writing of the above recommendations.
In addition to the contract cost, the contingencies for possible change orders are. $11,980 00 and
$2,180 00 for water and sewer, respectively
Associated costs for construction inspection and survey are $17,970 00 and $3,260 00 for water and
sewer, respectively
