Title
Approving a resolution rejecting all bids received for the Justice Center Sewer and Drainage Improvements Project.
Summary
The City of Pflugerville opened bids for the Justice Center Sewer and Drainage Improvements Project on November 30, 2018 at 2 pm. Notices were posted in the Pflugerville Pflag as required on October 31, 2018 and November 7, 2018. The bidding process was facilitated through a plan holder website, civcast.com, which is used for all City construction projects. A total of 18 plan holders were general contractors, but only one bid was received from Vaughn Construction for a total of $259,135 for the base bid and it significantly exceeded the architect’s estimate of $109,900.
Staff is working with the project design team led by Method Architecture to review the project scope and construction time line in effort to rebid the project in the future. In the interim, the city maintenance staff will be coordinating the cleanout of the subject wastewater line on a quarterly basis or as recommended by the vendor doing the cleanout to prevent any wastewater backup. Maintenance staff will also be working on the drainage on the west side of the building.
