SUBJECT:
San Antonio River Outlet Tunnel Gate Repair and Transfer Switch Replacement


SUMMARY:
This ordinance authorizes a contract with Dorazio Enterprises, Inc. to repair the San Antonio River tunnel outlet gates and replace the tunnel inlet transfer switch for a total cost of $76,000.00. Funding is available from the FY 2014 Storm Water Operations Fund.


BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Submitted for City Council consideration and action is the attached bid tabulation of two competitive bids to provide repairs to the San Antonio River tunnel outlet gates and replacement of the tunnel inlet transfer switch. During a flood on May 25, 2013, the gates and transfer switch received severe damage from the force of the volume of storm water run-off.

Funding for repair was approved in the FY 2014 Budget and a solicitation was released in November 2013. During the bid period a site visit revealed that the existing automated transfer switch (ATS) was obsolete and specifications would need to include engineering a new model ATS to retrofit in existing system panel. As a result, the bid was cancelled and re-issued in December 2013 with updated specifications. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) was evaluated base on the published bid specifications and the low bid was submitted by Dorazio Enterprises, Inc.

The repair to the tunnel outlet gates and replacement of the transfer switch are covered by a minimum one year warranty of all components parts and service.
