E&R PROPOSAL C2020 - School 16 Fuel Tank Repl.pdf
SCHOOL 16 UST EMDEC 9-23-2020.pdf
Rationale: As per Emergency Declaration dated September 23, 2020 this RFP was issued only to E&R due to its limited scope and need of speed. The firm has worked on numerous other projects and is well qualified to undertake this project.

E&R’s base proposal is for $31,000.00 to provide services that include but are not limited to: review existing drawings, field inspect the tank; confirm existing conditions using this information to create bid documents and SED permit requirements for the replacement of the tank. They will also be providing bidding and contract award support. Construction administration will be proposed separately depending on the scope and timing of another capital project currently out for bid.

The department has earmarked another $4,000 for potential reimbursable costs such as, topographic and/or site surveys, destructive test cuts or probes, special inspections or testing during construction. This brings the maximum fee for this task up to $35,000.00.

This project cost is currently anticipated to be $400,000.00 and construction is planned for the early spring of 2021. An extension of time is to be presented to the WCDOH.
