DISCUSSION OF RIDS
County of Harnett M&M Project 20026
Bides Creek to Lillington Forcemaln February 13, 2002
Contract Nos. 1, 2 & 3
GENERAL
Formal bids were received and read aloud at 3;00 p.m., November 21, 2001 in
the Commissioner's meeting room of the Harnett County Administration Building
in Lillington, North Carolina. Contract No. 3 did not have enough bidders to
open bids and was readvertised for December 6, 2001. The project was
advertised according to State Statutes in a Newspaper having statewide
circulation at least seven days prior to the bid opening. The project was also
advertised in bulletins of the Associated General Contractors of America, The F.
W, Dodge Corporation at various offices in North Carolina.
Basically, this work involved three (3) contracts: Contract No. 1: Forcemain:
includes about 2,228 If of 16-inch PVC (SDR 21) gravity sewer, 15,676 If of 16-
inch PVC (SDR 21) forcemain, 1,080 If of 10-inch ductile iron forcemain and 893
If of 4-inch PVC (SDR 21) forcemain with all appurtenances and Contract No. 2
Wastewater Pump Stations: include the following:
A. Buses Creek WWrP
• Site development, drainage, erosion control and yard piping •
w/appurtenances, grading, grassing, & fencing_
• One (1) each pump station w/structure mechanical piping, pumps
and appurtenances.
Parshall flume w/ instruments and mechanical bar screen.
B, @Central Carolina Community College
• Site development, yard piping w/appurtenances excavation and
erosion control
• One (1) each 30,000 gallon precast concrete equalization tank
w/appurtenances
• One (1) each duplex wastewater pump station with piping, valves
and equipment
C. "This End Up" Pump Station
• Replacement of existing wastewater pumps and controls
• Modifications to existing structure
Contract No. 3 Electrical: includes the following:
A. Buies Creek WWTP
Controls, equipment and wiring for a new WW pump station, bar
screen and parshall flume.
B. Central Carolina Community College
• Controls, equipment and wiring for duplex ww pump station
• C. @ "This End Up Pump -Station"
Wiring for new pumps in existing pump station.
The purpose of this project is to provide a regional wastewater pumping station
that will ultimately transfer all of the wastewater flow from the Buies Creek/Coats
wastewater plant to the existing Llllington wastewater treatment facility. This
project will immediately provide the capability of pumping 150,000 gallons per
day of wastewater from the Buies Creek Treatment Facility to the Lillington
Treatment Facility, The purpose of this is to reduce the existing wastewater flow
to the Buies Creek Treatment Plant to a level that will allow additional
connections in the Buies Creek Coats Water & Sewer District. Continued use of
the Buies Creek treatment facility without this project will lead to a moratorium
imposed by the State of North Carolina restricting future connections.
The operation of this project will require a temporary equalization basin to be
constructed near the campus of Central Carolina Community College. The flow
will be equalized in a manner that only 150,000 gallons per day of wastewater
will be allowed to enter the existing Lillington wastewater collection system. The
wastewater will be subsequently pumped across the Cape Fear River in the
existing forcemain that is fed from the "This End Up Pumping Station". It will be
necessary to expand the wastewater pumping capacity of the "This End Up
Pumping Station". Odor control facilities and telemetry controls will be provided
to operate the equalization facilities and allow the project to perform in an
environmentally acceptable manner.
PROPOSALS
The contracts had the following number of bid documents requested by
• contractors with the indicated responses:
ContrAct Plang Requested Bids Submitted
Contract No, 1 18 12
Contract No. 2 8 3
Contract No. 3 4 2
Contract 3 — Electrical project was readvertised on November 22, 2001 & bids
received on December 6, 2002
One addenda was issued for this work and all contractor's submitting a bid
indicated that they had received the Addenda. A copy of the Certified
Tabulation of Bids received is appended to this Discussion of Bids. This
Discussion along with the Tabulation should remain in the permanent files of this
project.
Contract No. 1 included a base and an alternate proposal. The purpose of the
alternate proposal was to require a price from the contractor for furnishing and
installing pumps at the This End Up pumping station that were manufactured by
EBARA pump company. The existing pump station was originally constructed
using EBARA pumps. In order to meet State Statutory Bidding Requirements it
is necessary to prepare a base proposal allowing several pump manufactures to
bid the work and then require an alternate proposal for a specific pump
manufacturer if it is desired for such an installation. In that way, the State has
the option of participating only in the cost deferential between the base proposal
and the alternate proposal. In the case of the low bidder, the cost for the base
proposal and the alternate proposal with regard to the "This Ends Up Pumping
Station" was the same price.
The low proposal for Contract No. 1 was submitted by Temple Grading & Const.
• of Lillington, NO for a total unit price amount of $561,113.51. The second low
proposal was submitted by Billings & Garrett, Inc. of Raleigh, NO for a total unit
price amount of $590,411.90.
The low proposal for Contract No. 2 was submitted by T. A. Loving Co. of
Goldsboro, NO for a total lump sum amount of $638,000.00, The second low
proposal was submitted by Water & Waste Systems of Raleigh, NC for the lump
sum amount of $667,000.00 which included the alternate proposal.
The low proposal for Contract No. 3 was submitted by T. A. Loving Co. of
Goldsboro, NO for a total lump sum price of $117,500.00. and the second low
bidder was Hogue Electric Co. of Lillington, NO for a total lump sum price of
$185,000.00.

The Engineers feel that the project was well advertised to the construction
industry and that the proposals received are the best that can be expected at
this time.
FINANCING
The project will be funded from funds budgeted by the County of Harnett at this
time. This project also included a grant by the Economic Development •
Administration that was originally intended for the expansion of the Buies Creek
Coats wastewater treatment facility, The grant is in the amount of $500,000.
The condition of the grant required a 100% match by Harnett County which
meant that the minimum project cost needed to be at least $1,000,000. This
project cost will exceed the minimum amount. The balance of the funds will
eventually be eligible for State Revolving Loan Funding once the regional
wastewater treatment facility is completed. This eligibility has been determined
in writing from the Office of Construction Grants of the Department of
Environment & Natural Resources in Raleigh, North Carolina. The project
budget is recommended as follows;

$1,316,613.51
Technical Fees:

Re: Recommendation from Harnett Forward Together Committee on
Old Edgerton Industrial Park and Spec Building owned by
Dunn Area Committee of 100, Inc.
Dear Mr. Chairman and Commissioners:
The Harnett Forward Together Committee met with Mr. Abe Elmore and
other Directors of the Dunn Area Committee of 100, Inc. to explore ways Harnett
County and the Harnett Forward Together Committee, Inc. ("HFTC") could be of
assistance in the development of the Old Edgerton Industrial Park south of Dunn
on U.S. Highway 301 and Longbranch Road, and the marketing of the spec
• building which is owned by the Dunn Committee of 1.00, Inc..
The discussions between the two organizations was very positive, and it
was clear that much could be achieved to enhance the attractiveness of the
industrial park and make it, as well as the spec building, more marketable if we
all worked together.
The two organizations have reached an agreement and understanding
that will bring the park under the control of the HFTC. In return the HFTC has
agreed to make certain improvements to the infrastructure in the park, including
the running water and sewer lines, dealing with drainage issues, and the
construction of a paved road from the existing road in the park to Long Branch
Road.
The Dunn Area Committee of 100, Inc. will allow the HFTC and the
Harnett County Economic Development Director to assist in the marketing of the
Spec building. In this regard, the HFTC will have the authority to determine the
sale price of the spec building and the Dunn Area Committee of 100, Inc. will
transfer and convey the building to a buyer for the sale price so determined.
Further, the entire cost of the spec building and land will be made available to
the HFTC. The Dunn Area Committee of 100, Inc. will agree to sell the building
at a lose, if necessary to attract a desirable corporate citizen to the county,
provided Harnett County agrees to share the loss equally with the Dunn Area
Committee of 100, Inc..
The respective Board of Directors of both organizations have unanimously
• approved this understanding and agreement. I request the Harnett County
Board of Commissioners to approve and endorse this agreement.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this
letter and the request made herein.
Very truly yours,
Harnett Forward Tog ther Committee
