Hopkins <br /> San Marcos, Texas 78666 <br /> Re: Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion <br /> Equipment Procurement <br /> Horizontal End Suction Centrifugal Torque Flow Pumps <br /> Bid Item 1 <br /> Recommendation of Award <br /> Dear tvfr. Jenkins: <br /> On August 8, 1996 bids were received for selected items of equipment for the Wastewater <br /> Treatment Plant Project. One of the items included in the bid was pumps to be installed at the <br /> wastewater treatment plant. EnviroTech Pump Systems, Inc. submitted the only bid for the two <br /> pumps in the amount of$23,670.00. EnviroTech Pump Systems proposal referenced its standard <br /> tenns and conditions, but these were not included in the bid package. They also requested a limit <br /> on liquidated damages exposure of the full contract amount and to not be held liable for <br /> consequential or incidental damages. This amount is higher than the usual limit of 5% of the bid <br /> amount accepted by most equipment manufacturers. This equipment can be fabricated and <br /> delivered before it needs to be installed. The amount offered as the cap on damages provides over <br /> twenty three days of damages that could be collected if necessary. <br /> We have contacted EnviroTech Pump Systems through their authorized representative, \V.D. <br /> Graue, Inc., about the referenced tenns and conditions and have received the attached letter <br /> confinning that they will accept the tenns and conditions of the Procurement Documents. The <br /> proposal is for WEMCO pumps which is one of the specified pump manufacturers. The prices <br /> bid are competitive and less than the amount estimated for this equipment. <br /> We recommend award of this contract to EnviroTech Pump Systems for the bid amount of <br /> $23,670.00 and accepting the limit on potential liquidated damages to the value of the Contract <br /> Amount. ;rhis recommendation is based on our review of the bid documents as well as comments <br /> Freese and Nichols, Inc, Engineers Environmental Scientists Architects <br /> 4055 International Plaza Suite 200 Fort Worth, Texas 76109-4895 <br /> 817 - 735- 7300 Metro 817-429-1900 Fax 817-735-7491 <br />
