SUBJECT: Resolution 2002-039, Award of Construction Services For The Soldotna High School Boiler Replacement Project

This project is a State of Alaska, Department of Education & Early Development's Grant. It originally was to fund both Soldotna and Redoubt boiler replacement. After evaluation of both projects, it was recommended by both the consultant and maintenance to remove the Redoubt Elementary School boilers from the project due to inadequate funding. Redoubt Elementary school boilers are aged but still provide adequate heat. Therefore the scope of work and Appendix A of the Project agreement has been amended to only replacement of the Soldotna High School boilers.

The Finance Department solicited and will open bids for this capital project on March 27, 2002. The invitation to bid was advertised in the Peninsula Clarion on 3/6,13,20; Homer News, and the Seward Phoenix Log on 3/7 & 14; and the Anchorage Daily News on 3/6 & 13, 2002.

The project consists of the remodeling of the existing 2nd story, boiler room. The work includes: demolition of the existing 14 small boilers and one HW tank, provision and installation of three new 1,876 MBH boilers with pads, new plumbing, some new valves and pumps, and re-use of some ancillary equipment. The respective electrical and room trim work will also be required.

Due to long lead times on the acquisition of the boilers, this resolution is initially presented with blanks to be filled in when the bids are opened, this is to expedite the project so it can be completed prior to school opening.

The attached Resolution requests Award of Contract for this work to _________________ for the base bid for a total bid amount of $______________.

The funding for this project is from the Capital Improvement Projects budget. All expenditures for this project will be charged to account number 401.78050.00BLR.
