MEMO ' ._ IN DUM
TO: City Council
THROUGH: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM: Sean Wedemeyer, Public Works Directo
DATE: September 12, 2012
SUBJECT: Kenai Boating Facility Launch Ramp Floats - Rejection of Bids
1992
The purpose of this correspondence is to recommend the City Council reject all
bids for the above referenced project.
One bid was received for this project. Peninsula Construction submitted a base
bid of $46,000. This is significantly higher than the estimated $25,000 cost to
replace 4 floats. Peninsula Construction provided pricing for the following
additive alternates. Additive Alternate 1 - Replace galvanized hardware with
stainless steel - $2,000. Add Alt 2 - Relocate 3 piles - $9,000. Add Alt 3 -
Furnish and Install 3 new piles and remove 3 piles - $15,300.
I contacted the other 2 contractors who attended the pre -bid conference but did
not submit a bid. One contractor indicated that they declined to bid because they
knew their price would be more than twice the estimated cost. The other
declined to bid because they are too busy with larger projects.
I discussed the design of the floats with Peninsula Construction to determine if
there was any value engineering that might bring the cost down. They do not
think there is a cheaper way to build them. However, the price per float may be
reduced by saving on shipping materials if we replace more than 4 at once.
I recommend that all bids be rejected. If sufficient funds can be identified to
replace all floats in one project I recommend re- bidding. There are 11 floats on
the launch ramp and 10 floats on the front of the dock. I estimate replacing all 21
floats and resetting piling to their correct locations will cost approximately
$225,000.
