MEMORANDUM DATE: December 20, 1993 TO: RIX BOARD OF CONTROL FROM: LEE SLATE SUBJECT: DISTRIBUTION OF THE DEDUCTION IN THE COLICH & SONS BID Bids for the conveyance pipelines (RIX & SARI) were received on October 27, 1993. The Colich & Sons bid indicated a deduction on the total amount of $500,000. This contract benefits all three parties to our Cost -Sharing Agreement. One of the concepts of the cost sharing which the participants have agreed to is proportionate shares of benefits/costs. Rather than making an arbitrary division of the deduction, I requested the bidder to identify the bid items affected by the deduction. This request was made to identify any direct bid item impacts. Tom Colich adjusted the bid items and submitted them to me (copy attached). The adjustment was made to the pipe and the mobilization bid items. An analysis of the adjustments indicated that the proportioning of the deduction could more closely follow the overall bid proportions with only a minor adjustment in whole dollar amounts. This adjustment was tabulated and sent to Colich for comment. There has been verbal concurrence. Please review the bids and the distribution issues as well as the overall cost-sharing issues for the combined project. These issues will need to be addressed by all three parties prior to making submittal to the SRF Program. On behalf of the SARI Project I have made recommendations to the SAWPA Project Agreement 8 Committee and the Commission addressing the apparent low bidders, proceeding towards awards and the cost distribution for the construction and consulting expenses for the combined SARI/RIX Project. These recommendations have been made to avoid delays to the combined project and particularly to the deadlines for the cease and desist orders on the RIX Project. If I have overlooked anything or there is a mutually beneficial desire to recommend an alternative cost sharing, I will take it before the SAWPA Commission.
