MEMORANDUM
1991 Water Plant Modifications
The City received only one (1) bid for the project mentioned above. A local Round
Rock firm, Jezek Construction Co., submitted a proposal in the amount of $37,752.00.
The estimate for this project was $25,306.00.. •
There were six (6) possible bidders for this project. I contacted several contractors who
purchased plans /specifications to find out why they had not submitted a proposal. The
responses ranged from acquiring the plans too late, the value of the project was not large
enough, and the project was too diversed. -
Several plans and specifications were released during the last week of the bid opening.
The few contractors that purchased the documents late cited busy work schedules and
their late notice of the advertisement. Several contractors did not submit a proposal due
to the total value of the project. It appears the project estimate possibly did not
adequately address some labor intensive activities such as the dismantling of the existing
pump station. Also, some material cost may have been undervalued creating a lower
overall project cost. One interesting aspect of the responses was the comments
concerning the paint removal activity. There was a general consensus that this work
activity could possibly be broken out into a distinct separate project. Nearly half of the
Mayor bidders were interested in either the mechanical aspect of this project or the painting but
Mike Robusson not both together.
