Agenda 02/09/2021 Item #16C2 (RFQ #14-6213 Work Order w/Quality Enterprises)02/09/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a $280,070 work order under a Request for Quotation (“RFQ”) for
Agreement No. 14-6213 to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., for the South Reverse Osmosis (SRO)
Wellfield Wells 19-20 Electrical Improvements (Project No. 70069).
OBJECTIVE: To maintain a reliable raw water supply for the reverse osmosis treatment system at the
South County Regional Water Treatment Plant (“SCRWTP”), which serves customers throughout the
Collier County water service area.
CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed scope of work under Project No. 70069, “Well/Plant Power
Systems -SRO Electrical Improvements, Capital Projects,” is consistent with the FY2021 Budget
approved by the Board on September 17, 2020.
The SCRWTP reverse osmosis system is supplied with raw water from a flowing artesian brackish water
wellfield with withdrawal from the Hawthorn aquifer system. The County constructed the SCRWTP
South Reverse Osmosis (“SRO”) wellfield in 2004 and expanded it in 2009; there are currently 41 well s.
The electrical conductors/wires connecting Well 19 and Well 20 have failed. The County originally
issued a purchase order to an electrical contractor to replace those damaged conductors. However, during
construction, the electrical contractor discovered that the conduit housing the conductors was also
damaged and required replacement.
The County developed a new expanded scope and staff obtained quotes from the underground utility
contractors under contract with the County. The new scope of work includes the removal and replacement
of the electrical conduit and faulty conductors, grounding, stabilization and alignment of an existing
manhole, and other miscellaneous work.
The County posted RFQ “SRO Wellfield Wells 19-20 Electrical Improvements,” on September 29, 2020,
and distributed it to the six contractors on Fixed-Term Underground Utilities Contract No. 14-6214 via
the County’s electronic bid process. Of the six vendors notified, two submitted quotations by the October
16, 2020, deadline, as summarized below.
VENDOR QUOTE
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. $350,464.00
Douglas N Higgins, Inc. $357,600.00
Mitchell & Stark responded with a no quote.
The lowest base quote received is from Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. The quotes received were higher
than the planned budget, therefore staff decided to perform portions of the work in house (removal of the
existing conduits, and remaining conductors) and re-negotiate with Quality Enterprises. Staff then
negotiated a reduced cost with Quality Enterprises in the amount of $280,070.00, which includes deleting
two bid items, remove and replace manhole & concrete cap. Staff determined that this re -negotiated cost
is fair and reasonable. Staff recommends awarding the work order to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., who
has a satisfactory performance and warranty record on previous similar water utility related projects.
There may be unforeseen conditions associated with the project. The RFQ incorporated an allowance of
$20,000, reduced to $10,000 during negotiations, that included, but was not limited to, undocumented
infrastructure that may be encountered during construction. The price for any additional work that would
utilize this allowance will be negotiated prior to commencement in accordance with the County’s
16.C.2
