The request of staff for Council is to review and consider award and the approval of the attached proposal from Peak Power Services, Incorporated in the amount not to exceed $66,237.00 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant's (WWTP) Storage Garage Project. 

As City Council may recall, on March 7, 2017 the WWTP’s detached storage garage caught on fire and totally destroyed the structure. Subsequent to the Fire Marshal’s investigation, the cause of the fire was undetermined.  Once the investigation was concluded, staff worked with the City Human Resources staff to submit a claim with the City’s insurance carrier Public Risk Management’s Gallagher Bassett.  Included in the claim submission were items such as maintenance equipment, small hand and gas powered tools, and additional equipment damaged by the fire, as well as the replacement cost to reconstruct another storage garage.

On December 21, 2017 two (2) sealed bids were opened by the City Clerk for the construction of the replacement storage garage.  Construction Management staff reviewed the bid documents and followed up with the contractor and the references submitted in the bid package.  Subsequent to the review, staff has attached a recommendation memo as back up documentation for City Council’s review.
