HomeMy WebLinkAbout75% Review Comments May 2014Rasesh: Our compliments on very well done Engineering Drawings and Bid Specifications! Tetra Tech has done an excellent job on this project.
City comments to the 75% drawings are as
follows:
1). The City will provide a “Notice to Bidders” page with additional City-required information.
2). Bid Documents will be available from the City Clerk’s office on cd – free
of charge.
3). State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan Project – “Buy American” is also in effect.
4). ADP applies – City is not to pay sales tax on items over $5,000. The City will provide
verbage for the Bid Specifications.
5). Due to the importance of the Project, the pre-bid meeting should be mandatory.
6). The City will provide a contract in Word format for inclusion
in the Bid Specifications.
7). On the “Schedule of Base Bid Manufacturers/Suppliers” - sole source is typically not allowed under SRF guidelines (unless justified) – might need to have
at least two manufacturers listed under each category.
8). Most importantly – due to the scheduling of other projects at the WWTP and throughout the City, the proposed Project Schedule
will most likely be “pushed back” one year. It will not be possible to complete several major projects at the WWTP at the same time. However, we would like to continue to meet the submittal
dates for the SRF Program (e.g., Bid Documents due on July 1, 2014). Please revise the proposed Project Schedule (attached) – delay Project one year (e.g., bid Project in August 2015).
