Addition of Pump Number 4 to the Village Parkway Pump Station
Project Number WA99-03; Bid Number Q-119902
Award Recommendation
Dear Mr. Griffin:
We have checked the bids received on December 3, 1999, for the Addition of Pump Number 4 to the Village
Parkway Pump Station. Along with the installation of Pump Number 4, this project includes the construction
of isolation valves on the existing three large pumps and replacement of the pump station flow meter. We are
enclosing six copies each of the Bid Tabulation and the Tabulation of Pump Bids.
Architectural Utilities, Inc. (AUI) of Forth Worth, Texas submitted the low bid for construction of this project
in the amount of $346,000. We are familiar with this contractor, as they have completed several of our
projects. They are currently 25% complete on a pump station for the City of Desoto, which was designed by
our firm. Nonetheless, we have further investigated their experience, equipment and financial standing. They
have completed similar projects in the City of Hurst, Lewisville and Grapevine. In 1995 they completed the
Belt Line Road Water Line project for the City of Coppell. As such we have concluded that Architectural
Utilities, Inc., is qualified and has the equipment and financial capability to successfully complete this project.
Separate bids, addressed to the successful contractor, were received from pump manufacturers for the pump
and motor for this project. Oslin Nation Company submitted the best bid, in our opinion, for the Ingersoll-
Dresser Pump Model 300 LNN-575 with a 600 Horsepower, 4160 volt General Electric motor. The amount of
the bid was $85,684.00, and equipment delivery is expected by April 15, 2000, if an award is made by mid
December of this year.
The bids for construction of this project included a pump and motor allowance of $75,000.00. The
recommended best bid for the pumps and motors is $85,684.00, therefore a change order in the additive
amount of $10,684.00 is to be executed with the original construction contract.

Accordingly, we recommend the City of Coppell award a contract for the Addition of Pump Number 4 to the
Village Parkway Pump Station in the amount of $346,000 to the low bidder on this projcct, Architectural
Utilities, Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas. Concurrently an additive change order in the amount of $10,684.00 for
the difference between the bid allowance and the recommended bid for the pump and motor should be
approved. This will revise the contract amount to $356,684.00.
We are available to discuss our recommendation and this project further at your convenience.
