Mr. Harris explained that this item and item 10 went together. He walked Council through the process of funding the wastewater treatment plant project which was divided into two construction phases. He said the amount of $44 million was to cover any contingencies with phase 2 construction, as well as $461,250.00 to upgrade the SCADA system at the water treatment plant. Mr. Harris said there were multiple factors associated with the need for upgrade which included the age of the software and age of the hardware. He also said Phase 2 construction was scheduled for substantial completion in approximately 17 months. Justin Rackley with Garver reported that in January 2024 they provided a revised construction cost of $53.3 million of phase 2 construction. He said on February 21, 2024, they received three bids and Heritage Constructors, LLC submitted the low bid in the amount of $39,9888,500.00 which was favorable for the City. Mr. Rackley said this was approximately $13.3 million below the estimated construction cost, that Garver had worked with Heritage in the past, and based on their references, Garver was recommending Heritage Constructors, LLC be awarded the bid.
