Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to install approximately 3,500 linear feet of new 8-inch sanitary sewer line along 38th Street and 38th Place from Lincoln Drive to Bethany Home Road. The proposed 8-inch gravity sewer main will also tie into the existing City of Phoenix wastewater collection system upstream of Lift Station 54 and allow for its abandonment.
Archer Western Construction, LLC's services include, but are not limited to: installing approximately 3,500 linear feet of new 8-inch sanitary sewer line, 21 new sewer manholes, 400 linear feet of 6-inch sewer services, two drainage inlets with 80 linear feet of new 18-inch storm drain crossing, work to adjust the intersection of 38th Place and Berridge Lane to a “T” intersection, restoration of signing and striping, and miscellaneous landscaping restoration. This project is within Town of Paradise Valley right-of-way.
This Agreement is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
Procurement Information
The selection was made using an Invitation for Bids procurement process set forth in section 34-201 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Two bids were received on April 13, 2021, and were sent to the Equal Opportunity Department for review to determine subcontractor eligibility and contractor responsiveness in demonstrating responsiveness to Small Business Enterprise program requirements.
The Opinion of Probable Cost and the one lowest responsive, responsible bidder is listed below:
Opinion of Probable Cost: $3,214,131
Archer Western Construction, LLC : $2,213,877
Bidders who were deemed non-responsive are listed below, in alphabetical order:
Action Direct LLC dba Redpoint Contracting
The bid award amount is within the total budget for this project.
The reason for the variance from the Opinion of Probable Cost to the lowest responsive, responsible bid could be an indication that they anticipate completing the work with higher production under better conditions than Phase 1. The OPC conservatively estimated the rate of pipeline production to be 50 linear feet per day based on review of the geotechnical report.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement is 240 calendar days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for Archer Western Construction, LLC will not exceed $2,213,877, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Capital Improvement Program budget. The Budget and Research Department will separately review and approve funding availability prior to execution of any amendments. Payments may be made up to agreement limits for all rendered agreement services, which may extend past the agreement termination.
