ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
Bids were opened on July 14, 1994 for the replacement and upgrading of approximately 15,000
linear feet of cast iron water lines in the older section of town. The apparent low bidder was
Matrix Service Inc, with a bid of $117,666; however, there was a large difference between this
bid and the other bidders. A review of the bids and qualifications indicated that Matrix would
not be able to perform the required services. Staff recommended that the contract be awarded
to the next low bidder, Jepco Inc. Jepco's bid was $488,028.40, which is less than the
engineer's estimate for the project of $515,789.30. Following discussion, Mr Burris moved to
award the contract for water line replacement in the older sections of town to Jepco Inc in the
amount of $488,028.40. Motion seconded by Mr Ramey.
AYE: Burris, Ramey, Ewing, Barnhouse, Duke
