Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Ed Taylor, Water Utility Manager
Date: 9/10/2004
Subject: Bid Award for Construction of the Red Mountain Tank.
1. WHY IS THIS MATTER BEFORE THE BOARD
The Board has to approve the award of the contract.
2. HISTORY
The Board authorized staff to advertise for, accept, and open bids for the Construction of the
Red Mountain Water Tank Project with a bid opening date of September 9, 2004.
3. NEW INFORMATION
No bids were received for the Red Mountain Tank Project.
Staff contacted the plan holders for the project to determine the reason why they did not bid
the project. The issues were the teardown of the old tank and the time frame for construction
of the new tank before winter.
This year, the important activity for the Red Mountain Tank site is the teardown of the old
tank. The new tank is to be constructed twenty feet south of the old tank location, which will
make room for the new hydro pump station. The sequence of construction is important. The
Red Mountain site will have a tank, hydro pump station and new piping. The tank removal
will allow the pipeline and pump station work to continue. The construction of the new tank
can be re-advertised for bid again in the spring.
4. RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board authorize staff to negotiate a contract for the removal of the old tank.
