It was then moved and seconded:
That the Boards of Directors reconsider the previous action adopting Resolution
No. 94-34, awarding contract for Miscellaneous Architectural and Treatment Plant
Improvements at Plant No. 1, Job No. P1 -48; Miscellaneous Work (re Facility
Modifications and Safety Upgrades at Plant No. 2), Job No. P2-4 7-2, Flare
Improvements at Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-56; and Seismic Retrofit of Structures at
Treatment Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-53-2, to Pascal & Ludwig Engineers in the total
amount of $1,003,899.00.
The project was bid on February 1, 1994 and, according to the plans and
specifications, the Districts have 60 days to award the contract (April 2, 1994).
The Boards discussed whether to seek an extension of the 60-day award period
from the contractor to allow a review of the circumstances pertaining to the
accident or whether to reject all bids and rebid the job.
Following further discussion the motion was withdrawn and a new motion was
made and seconded:
That all bids received for Miscellaneous Architectural and Treatment Plant
Improvements at Plant No. 1, Job No. P1 -48; Miscellaneous Work (re Facility
Modifications and Safety Upgrades at Plant No. 2), Job No. P2-4 7-2; Flare
Improvements at Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-56; and Seismic Retrofit of Structures at
Treatment Plant No. 2, Job No. P2-53-2, be rejected.
In the context of overall considerations, Directors pointed out that extending the
award period would allow a review of the Districts' and contractors' safe work
environment issues together with safety policies and procedures.
Following further discussion the motion to reject all bids was withdrawn.
It was then moved, seconded and duly carried:
That the prior action to adopt Resolution No. 94-34 be set aside; and that action to
adopt Resolution No. 94-34 awarding a contract for the listed jobs be continued for
60 days; and that staff be directed to confer with Pascal & Ludwig Engineers, the
low bidder for said project, to obtain their consent to a delay in the award beyond
that prescribed in the contract documents to allow the Districts to review safety
procedures, policies, practices and records for construction on Districts' property.
It was noted that if this consent was not granted by the low bidder, then all bids
would expire and the project would have to be rescheduled for re-bidding.
