Background and Analysis:
The City began the first phase of rehabilitation of Percival Landing in 2010. Staff does annual evaluations of the landing and a five-year structural analysis. In our most recent structural evaluation in 2014, the bulkhead was identified as the most vulnerable portion of the landing and in need of replacement. This contract award will replace the bulkhead with approximately 400 lineal feet of new steel sheet pile wall along Water St. and 4th Ave.
The City Council approved the state grant agreement for this project on October 23, 2018, in the amount of $921,500.
Six bids were received. Bids ranged from the low bid of $1,511,586.45 to a high bid of $1,839,484.35. The low bidder, Quigg Bros, was the contractor for Percival Landing Phase 1 work in 2011 that included the same type of sheetpile wall construction. They have also done Percival Landing E and F float repairs and several other City of Olympia Public Works projects. They are a qualified contractor to do the work and are based out of Aberdeen.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
Percival Landing is a vital part of the community and this project is part of a continued effort to rehabilitate Percival Landing. The wall is consistent with sea level rise planning and can be modified to meet future sea level rise adaptations.
Options:
1) Award the construction contract to Quigg Bros, Inc., in the amount of $1,511.586.45, and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract. The project proceeds as planned.
2) Do not award the construction contract, reject all bids, and request staff to rebid the project. Delaying the project could result in higher bids, will require re-appropriation of state grant funding and will require additional staff time to rebid the project.
Financial Impact:
The Engineers Estimate was $1,924,235.78 and the low bid is 21 percent below the Engineers estimate. There are sufficient funds in the budget to complete the project.
