RE: GSRWPS Bid recommendation
Dear Mr. Wiedmeier:
We have attached the Tabulation of the Bids received by the Purchasing Department on
March 20, 2015. The bid received from Ruby Collins was the best and lowest bid. The
two other bids were within 8% and 18% of the low bid. However, the Department
requested that we work with the low bidder to delete the portion of the work that was
included for the installation of Unit No. 10 (except concrete). On March 26th we provided
our opinion of what items could be removed from the scope without compromising the
operation of Unit No. 9 which is under construction in York, Pennsylvania.
We worked with the low bidder to assess the possible cost savings and they then
submitted proposed deductions to bid items for specific reductions in scope. As your
consultant and the project’s designer, our opinion of possible reductions of March 26th
presented a potential reduction of $3,064,000. We attach hereto, a comprehensive
description of the changes to be made and the savings to AUD for implementing these
changes.
We recommend that Augusta award this contract to the low bidder, Ruby Collins of
Smyrna, Ga. in the amount of $12,332,000 reduced by the amount of savings for the
attached reduction of scope in the total of $2,706,000 for a net Total Award of
$9,626,000. We also recommend that Augusta accept the deductions paired with the
reductions in scope listed in the attachment. Ruby Collins has offered (attached) the
extension of their bid by 30 days.
Please let us know if you have any questions in this regard.
Very truly yours,
ZIMMERMAN, EVANS AND LEOPOLD, INC.

Goodrich Street Raw Water Pumping Station Improvements
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Consider award of Bid Item #15-142 for construction at the Raw
Water Pumping Station to Ruby-Collins, Inc. in the amount of
$9,626,000.
Background:Bids were received on March 20, 2015 for construction of
improvements at the Goodrich Street Raw Water Pumping Station
(RWPS) which serves the Highland Avenue Water Treatment
Plant. This project will install a new pump and gearbox for the
recently reconstructed #1 turbine, and install a new turbine and
pump (Unit #9) capable of pumping 50 Mgal/d. The project also
includes construction of a new operations building.
Analysis:Ruby Collins Construction was the low bidder at $12,332,000.
Upon discussions with design engineer and contractor, we elected
to eliminate most of the construction related to future Unit #10,
except for the concrete work. Unit #10 will likely not be needed
for at least 20 years. The revised price for the work is $9,626,000.
Financial Impact:Funds are provided 512043410-5425110/80413009-5425110
Alternatives:No practical alternative.
Recommendation:Augusta Utilities Department recommends the Commission
