Project Timeline and Bid Process: The
urgency of this project has driven the timeline
of the planning, engineering, and bid process.
In an effort to expedite the realignment of the
sewer mainline that is currently being
suspended in the air above the Wildwood
Creek, District staff immediately began
identifying possible solutions that would
provide the most long-term protection of the
sewer. The District’s engineer, Krieger and
Stewart Engineering, designed the relocation
of the sewer mainline within Wildwood
Canyon Road and prepared the contract
documents and specifications for the project.
After the design was completed, the two
lowest bidders from recently Board awarded
sewer Capital Improvement Projects were
asked to meet onsite on May 24, 2019 at 1:30
PM to discuss the design and contract of the
project. Weka Inc. and Borden Excavating
Inc. received a copy of the design drawings,
contract documents and specifications in order to submit a competitive bid to the District.
(Although the District’s current procurement policy states 3 bids should be received based on the
anticipated dollar amount, the District has not had any other vendor bid, nor complete, sewer
capital projects in the last 10 years). The deadline for submitting a bid was updated in Addendum
No. 1 (attached) as June 4, 2019 at 2:00 PM. Only one of the two contractors submitted a bid
before the deadline. The results are in the table below. Krieger and Stewart Engineering
Consultants are also providing project management services and have provided the attached bid
award recommendation letter.
