A "Notice of Unanticipated Expense" letter is required to be sent to the Army for any work <br /> that exceeds the budgeted amount by more than $50,000. <br /> Four firms were invited to bid on the Project. We have received two proposals for this project. <br /> CNC Metalcraft, LCC $73,445.00 <br /> Metro Manufacturing, Inc. $99,969.00 <br /> Please review the attachment from Barr for more information regarding the proposals. <br /> Explanation: The purpose of this item is to obtain Council authorization to install access stairs, access <br /> platforms, safety gates, and conveyors to the 4 iron vessels at Water Treatment Plant #1. Currently, the <br /> iron vessels are accessed via a permanent ladder and narrow access platform attached to each vessel. This <br /> configuration makes it difficult to lift and change the filter media in each vessel. Media is changed twice <br /> per year. This project is a significant safety upgrade to the water treatment plant. <br /> Three access stairs are included in this project to provide access to the four iron filters; one stairway to <br /> Vessel #1, a common stairway to Vessels #2 and #3, and one stairway to Vessel #4. Two large access <br /> platforms are also included in this package; one common platform for Vessels #2 and #3, and one <br /> platform for Vessel #4. Product conveyors will be installed to aid in lifting the large bags of filter media <br /> to the top of the vessels for change out. Conveyors will be installed for vessels #2, #3, and#4. Due to its <br /> location in the plant, an access platform and conveyor will not be installed for Vessel #1. Media change <br /> out will be facilitated by lifting equipment(i.e. scissors lift). <br /> Safety gates will be installed two openings on the existing access platforms. <br /> Costs and Funding: The total cost of this project will be funded from Fund 206—NBCGRS Army Water <br /> Fun <br /> /Av) ///,—___-- <br /> Grant M. yffels, .E. <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> Attachment—Letter from Barr dated February 3, 2012 <br />
