7.1.A. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager March 23, 2015 SUBJECT Replacement of 42-inch Steel Discharge Pipe at Seaport Centre Storm Water Pump Station RECOMMENDATION Approve by motion the replacement of the Seaport Centre Storm Water Pump Station 42-inch Discharge Pipe, and authorize the City Manager to award a contract to Pump Repair Service Co., of San Francisco, CA, in the base amount of $187,250 including an additional contingency of 10%. BACKGROUND The Seaport Center Storm Pump Station services the Seaport Centre Business Park. The pump station discharges directly into Redwood Creek and is essential to remove storm water in the area. The Pump Station was built in 1984 and the discharge header manifold (which conveys storm water from each pump within the station to the creek) has reached the end of its useful life. ANALYSIS The discharge pipe is an essential component to the effective and efficient operation at the Seaport Centre Storm Pump Station. If the pipe fails, water will not be conveyed through as designed and could result in flooding in the Seaport Centre area and/or inadequate pumping effectiveness and efficiency. The following two companies are known to staff to perform the work and were invited to bid on the project: • Pump Repair Services Co., Daly City, CA • E & M Electric, San Francisco, CA Additionally, the City published two notices inviting bids in the Daily News first on October 4, 2014 and again on November 14, 2014 after no bids were received from the first request. Upon the second request the City received one bid from Pump Repair Service Co. Pump Repair Service Co. has been in business since 1941 performing similar projects for Redwood City and other public agencies throughout the Bay Area.
