City Council discussion and possible action to award multiple construction contracts for the City of Orland Emergency Groundwater Resource Project – Phase 2C Units 2 through 6 City Manager Joe Goodman provided a brief overview of the DWR Phase 2C unit 2 thought 6 project, outlining the size of each unit and summarizing the bids received for Phase 2, Units 2 through 6. He explained that Phase 2C includes the installation of backflow assemblies, water service lines, and related components to connect existing residences to the water meters previously installed during Phases 2A and 2B. Units 2 through 6 of Phase 2C consist of 97 service connections, all located within south and east of the City limits.
Mr. Goodman noted that the five project units were advertised on August 29 and bids were opened on September 12. The City received three bids for each unit. City staff reviewed and evaluated the submissions and identified the lowest responsible bidder for each unit.
He recommended awarding contracts to Bear Mountain and R & R Horn, explaining that the work will be carried out concurrently by multiple crews from both contractors. He also highlighted that the contract completion timelines range from 22 to 55 days, depending on the size of the individual units.
