Analysis
The Dallas North Water Vault Replacement was identified as part of the FY 19 Capital Projects Budget and Capital Projects Plan for proposed water projects.
The City received bids on August 18, 2020 for the North DWU Water Vault Replacement. This project provides for installation of two precast meter vaults and piping, 18” magnetic water meters and appurtenances including Electrical.
The following bids were received:
Dake Construction $1,500,487
Atkins Brothers $2,398,248
All bids substantially exceeded the engineer's estimate of $876,000 and City budget allocated for this project.
