Award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Santoro Custom Excavating and Landscaping, on a unit cost basis, the contract for the “2018 Redding Regional Septage Impoundment 1B Cleanout Project,” Contract No. 207513, in the amount of $197,490. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
The low bidder on the Septage Pond Cleanout Project is Santoro Custom Excavating and Landscaping. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Shasta County operates a septage pond complex west of Anderson. This facility accepts waste pumped out of private septic tanks. The waste is mostly water and biodegradable material. Water evaporates and most of the materials break down but solids gradually accumulate. Impoundment 1B is full. The sludge will be dried and hauled to a solid waste disposal facility. On March 29, 2018, two bids were received and opened. Santoro Custom Excavating and Landscaping was the low bidder with a bid in the amount of $197,490. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to award the contract. Pond 1B is at capacity. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
Final approval for disposal will be obtained from the Regional Water Quality Control Board. County Counsel has approved the contract documents as to form. Risk Management has reviewed and approved the contract documents. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The septage ponds are funded through tipping fees collected from septage haulers. The total cost of this project including engineering and contingencies is estimated to be $230,000. Sufficient funds have been included in the Adopted FY 2017/18 Solid Waste Budget. There is no General Fund impact. |
