Summary of Bid Results
Resolution
Budget Change Form
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution awarding contract to Tricon Construction in
the mount of $184,900 for the installation of a waterslide at
the Dublin Swim Center.
Approve the budget change form to appropriate $95,890
from reserves to Capital Improvement Proj eot No. 95910.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Budget $105,700
Low Bid $184,900
The base bid plus a 10% contingency is $203,390 which exceeds the
funds budgeted for the improvements by $95,890. In order to award
the bid, an additional appropriation in this amount from the
Unappropriated General Fund Reserve is required.
DESCRIPTION: At its meeting on December 21, 1999, the City Council authoriZed
Staff to advertise Contract 99-15 for bids. This project provides for the installation of a 100-foot long,
double loop waterslide at the Dublin Swim Center. The project was advertised in accordance'with the
City's ordinance and bids were received by the bid opening on January 12, 2000 at 2:00 P.M.
Two bids were received for the project (see Attachment 1). The low bidder was Tricon Construction with
a bid of $184,900. Staff recommends including a 10% contingency, which brings the total funds needed to
$203,390. The total budgeted for waterslide installation is $107,500 which would result in a funding
shortfall in the mount of $95,890 if the bid is awarded.
The City's pool consultant Arch Pac, Inc prepared the estimated cost of the project for budgeting
purposes. Since the budget was prepared, the cost of the waterslide has increased. In reviewing the other
components of the bid results, it appears that the concrete work and electrical work also exceed the project
budget. Staff however does not believe that substantial cost savings could be achieved.by rebidding the
project. If the project were rebid, the slide could not be installed for the upcoming swim season. It should
be noted, however, that neighboring cities that have installed similar slide features have experienced an
increase in pool attendance. If this trend continues in Dublin, an increase in pool revenue could be
expected.

COPIES TO: Triton Construction
ITEM NO.
Staff has reviewed the low bidder's proposal and license stares. Staff also checked the contractor's
references and received no negative comments. Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt
the resolution awarding Contract 99-15 to Triton Construction. Further, it is recommended that the City
Council approve the Budget Change Form in Attachment 3 that will provide for an additional
appropriation from the Unappropriated General Fund Reserve for $95,890.
The project is expected to take 80 working days to complete. Therefore, Staff anticipates that the slide
will be available for use by Memorial Day Weekend.
