RES 2015-15 Adopted RESOLUTION NO. 2015-15
A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2015-14
ADOPTED BY COUNCIL ON APRIL 20, 2015
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 2015-14, adopted by Council on April 20,
2015, the City awarded a contract to Vacvision Environmental, LLC for culvert
rehabilitation on the Greeneway; and,
WHEREAS, although Council authorized the awarding of the contract, the
City, as of this date, has not entered into a formal contract with Vacvision Environmental,
LLC relative to the Greeneway culvert rehabilitation; and,
WHEREAS, following the decision by Council on April 20, 2015, the City
received an inquiry related to such contract and ultimately a bid protest from another bidder
on the project; and,
WHEREAS, the City reviewed the protest information provided and, in
addition, reconsidered the process that was to be used by Vacvision Environmental, LLC,
centrifugally cast concrete pipe (CCCP) which is generally referred to as "spin casting";
and,
WHEREAS, the protesting bidder also was to use the "spin casting" process;
and,
WHEREAS, although the "spin casting" process was an approved process
included in the request for bids; and,
WHEREAS, the alternate method for rehabilitation of the culvert was to be
accomplished by process called "sliplining"; and,
WHEREAS, the "sliplining" process is a well established procedure for this
type of rehabilitation while the "spin casting" is much newer procedure with substantially
less exhibited experience for the product; and,
WHEREAS, after further consideration relative to the importance for the
proper rehabilitation of the culvert; and,
WHEREAS, being aware of the potential financial impact of a failure to such
line; and,
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council have determined that it is
imperative that this line be repaired in a manner that provides the City with the most
confidence that the procedure is adequate; and,
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council have determined that it would be in
the best interest of the City to rescind the previous contract award providing for the
rehabilitation being done using the "spin casting" procedure and rebidding the project
requiring that the rehabilitation be done by way of the "sliplining"procedure.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Council of
the City of North Augusta, South Carolina, in meeting duly assembled and by the authority
thereof do rescind Resolution No. 2015-14 awarding a contract to Vacvision Environmental,
LLC for Greeneway Culvert Rehabilitation; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all bids previously received relative to
the Culvert Rehabilitation are rejected; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the project shall immediately be rebid
with only the "sliplining"rehabilitation process being considered; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the City Administrator is authorized to
execute any documents required to carry out the intents of this Resolution.
DONE, RATIFIED AND ADOPTED BY THE MAYR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF NORTH AUGUSTA, SOUTH CAROLINA,ON THIS THE 4 DAY OF MAY,2015.
