BETTERBUILT FENCE CO. - FENCINGCity of Port Arthur, Texas Mavor and Citv Council Communication DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT Page NUMBER 10-09-09 i~-FeNCez.ooc Award of Bid for Fencing at Various Utility Operations 1 of 2 Department Sites Damaged During Hurricane Ike. We recommend the City Council award the bid for Fencing at various Utility Operations Department sites to BetterBuilt Fence Co., of Beaumont, Texas, in the amounts shown below. All of these fence repairs or reconstructions are a result of Hurricane Ike. BACKGROUND One fence will replace existing fence damaged or lost during Hurricane Ike, and the other is a new fence at a mitigation project site due to Hurricane Ike. The Houston Ave. & Lakeshore underground LS was partially abandoned, as the dry well was inundated with water and damaged beyond repair. As a part of our recommended mitigation project, we replaced/relocated all electrical equipment from the underground dry well to above grade, minimizing the possibility of flooding in the future. Fencing is a TCEQ requirement to safeguard our water and wastewater systems. These fences were initially bid and awarded back in March 2009, but the contractors failed to complete the work. Four (4) bidders responded with the following bids: Bidder SP WWTP* Houston i;< Lakeshore LS** Total Bid CWC Contractors $16,200. $4,208. $20,408.
