PURPOSE:
The bids for Contract 2010-130 (Stewart Mill Road and Rock Creek Lift Stations Improvements) have been received. In order for the work to proceed on this contract, City Council approval is requested for award of the contract to Haren Construction in the amount of $9,192,000.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the dissolution of the City/County Water Sewer Trust Fund, the Eastern Area of the City of Greensboro was identified as a future economic development area. The City and County agreed to use a portion of the remaining funds for installation of sewer in this area to assist with development. The first project in a series of three that have been identified is the construction of Stewart Mill Lift Station, a 10 MGD quadruplex wastewater lift station, which will consist of a cast-in-place concrete structure, submersible sewage handling pumps, electrical and control gear, an electrical/control building, and miscellaneous equipment, piping and valves. Rock Creek Lift Station work will include upgrades to an existing duplex wastewater lift station to increase it to a 4.3 MGD station, including submersible pumps, motors, and piping replacement, as well as an engine-driven bypass pump. The bids for this project were opened on August 25, 2016 and the apparent lowest, responsible bidder is Haren Construction (Etowah, TN) with a bid of $9,192,000.
The M/WBE utilization goal was MBE 9.0% and WBE 10.0%.
The contractor’s commitment is MBE 2.9% and WBE 1.4%.
Additional bids received were:

JR Lynch $12,564,749.98 (MBE 1.0%, WBE 14.0%) Pilot Mountain, NC
The proposed date for start of construction is November 28, 2016. The proposed date of substantial completion is May 22, 2018.
