RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2003-317
from Liquid Handling Systems, Project No. 3583.
approving the purchase of three Flygt submersible pumps
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Cannon Road Lift Station project is a 3.2 million gallon per day sewer pump station, which will complete the last remaining segment of Phase 2 of the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer System. Bids for the lift station construction are currently being solicited and will be opened in early to mid-December. Construction of the Cannon Road Lift Station project is consistent with the
City’s Sewer Master Plan and is necessary to meet Growth Management objectives. The pumps for
the Cannon Road Lift Station project are being purchased separately from the construction contract
in order to maintain greater control of the quality of the product and the schedule for delivery.
The pumps procured for this project will be the largest submersible wastewater pumps in the City of Carlsbad.
In accordance with Section 3.28.050 of the Municipal Code, a Notice to Bidders was mailed to six
vendors. On October 14, 2003, three responses were received, opened, witnessed and recorded.
In accordance with the Municipal Code, the bids were evaluated on a Best Value basis. The criteria
used in the best value evaluation included life cycle cost, responsiveness and completeness of
submittals, performance history and reliability of equipment, and proximity of the manufacturer’s
service facility.
Two bidders included exceptions to the terms and conditions of the bid. The exceptions would alter provisions regarding liquidated damages, liability and prompt delivery of the equipment. As a result,
these two bids were determined to be non-responsive and the bids were rejected. The third bidder,
Liquid Handling Systems, can supply submersible pumps manufactured by Flygt Corporation, which
meet or exceed the technical requirements of the bid document. Flygt pumps achieved high marks in all categories, have an exceptional history of quality and reliability and are considered by staff to be the best value. Staff recommends that Council award this project to Liquid Handling Systems.
The total cost for the three submersible pumps is $146,638 including sales tax.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Cannon Road Lift Station project is provided from sewer benefit area fees collected
by the City from development projects, which are tributary to the South Agua Hedionda Sewer
Basin. Unencumbered funds are available in the account for the purchase of the pumps.
