Memo TO: Marco Vega, P.E., General Manager

FROM: Carlos Gonzalez, P.E., General Manager

DATE: January 19, 2015

SUBJECT: CONTRACT EXTENSION FOR S. McCOLL RD. 16-INCH WATERLINE PROJECT

The engineer, Ramiro Gutierrez, P.E., of R. Gutierrez Engineering Corporation, was

selected by the Public Utility Board (PUB) at the meeting of January 27, 2009. Project

Limits extend from Orangewood Drive south to Dicker Rd. The county offered the City

of McAllen (COM) an opportunity to install utility lines inside the right-of-way for the

future road project. Original Contract was valid for a one year term, however due to

funding and environmental permit delays, the project has not commenced. Project

Engineer has submitted letter (see attached) agreeing to same contract terms as initially

approved. The pending remaining improvements include the two (2) levee crossings

which are proposed to be accomplished via a directional bore. We have finally received

the IBWC permits which authorize us to commence this remaining work. We hope we

can complete this project within the next few months.

Staff recommends approval of contract extension that will allow an additional 12 months

to close out this property.

Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this memo.

MCALLEN PUBLIC UTILITY

Memo To: Mark Vega, General Manager

From: Tim Skoglund, Utility Engineer

Date: January 21, 2015

Re: Highland Sewer Redirect Phase 2 – Award of Construction Contract

Six bids were received on January 15, 2015 for the Highland Sewer Redirect – Phase 2 project. The low

bid of $1,270,860 was submitted by Sanco General Contracting, Mission, TX. The second low bid of

$1,282,782 was submitted by SJ Louis Construction of Texas, San Antonio, TX.

The bid documents required that bidders submit documentation of two projects completed within the

last five years comparable in nature and scope, each having a cost of at least $1 million. The low-bid

contractor submitted one project completed under a different company name totaling $800,000 and

consisting of a combination of site work, utilities, and pavement.

Staff contacted the bidder to inquire if it had other project experience that met the minimum

requirements that had been inadvertently omitted from the bid submittal. The bidder claimed its

employees have experience under a different company name, but despite Staff’s request for

documentation of projects meeting the minimum requirements, none was received. The bidder’s

documents also failed to identify its subcontractor for the bore that must be performed under the

railroad tracks and HCWID No. 3 irrigation main. Staff has advised the bidder that their bid is

unresponsive because of these deficiencies.

The second low bidder, SJ Louis Construction whose bid is $11,922 higher than the low bid, has

performed prior work for MPU and has extensive national experience including multiple projects within

Texas meeting the minimum experience requirements. No deficiencies with their bid were found.

Because the budget for FY14-15 assumed $1.3 million would be expensed for construction in the prior

fiscal year, and since an unanticipated expense of $54,000 for licensing fees must be paid to HCWID

No. 3 for four lateral line crossings, a budget amendment will be required to bring forward unused

funds and provide for licensing fees.

Staff recommends award of construction contract to SJ Louis for their bid amount of $1,282,782 subject

to a budget amendment.

The contract requires completion of all tie-ins within 120 calendar days and final completion within 150

days. Staff anticipates all flows to the 18th & Highland lift station will be diverted to the new line before

the end of June 2015. The final tie-ins will be performed within Bicentennial Blvd. just north of McAllen

High School after completion of the school year.
