PURPOSE:
City Council is being requested to approve the bid received for the repair of the Solid Waste Transfer Station Tipping Floor and award the contract to Wayne Brothers, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
The Transfer Station is responsible for the transfer of municipal solid waste which is transported and disposed of at the Uwharrie Regional Landfill. The Transfer Station has been operational since September 2006 and can process up to 1,200 tons of waste per day. Municipal solid waste at the transfer station is deposited onto a concrete floor prior then placed into tractor trailers located beneath the facility. Routine activities associated with the transferring of waste destroy the integrity of the floor over time which will require full replacement of the solid waste tipping floor on a regular basis. Though the actual frequency of replacement will be based on the volume and type of waste processed through the facility and the resulting damages, the replacement interval is estimated to be every 7 years.
The Facilities Construction Division along with the Field Operations Department has worked with HDR, Inc. (Engineers) to develop and design repair details for the existing concrete slab tipping floor. Bids for the project were received on May 15, 2015. The following is a tabulation of the bids received:
Base Bid
Wayne Brothers, Inc. $333,106.00
Laughlin-Sutton Constr. Co. $694,064.00
The apparent low bidder was Wayne Brothers, Inc with a total bid in the amount of $333,106.00. The MWBE Goal Setting Committee considered this project on April 2, 2015. The Committee determined that there were limited subcontracting opportunities available and only sets a goal when the opportunity presents a minimum of 3 M/WBE firms qualified for the work. The Field Operations Department encouraged the contractor to provide an equal opportunity to certified M/WBEs to submit proposals for services that the contractor intends to subcontract.
The projected start of construction is scheduled for July 2015 with an anticipated completion date of October 2015.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The Field Operations Department will provide funding in account number 554-4302-01.5613.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Engineering & Inspections requests that City Council approve the bid and award the contract for the repair of the Solid Waste Transfer Station Tipping Floor and award the contract to Wayne Brothers, Inc. for the bid amount of $333,106.00.
