The city has selected a project manager for the $13.6 million primary sanitary sewer trunk main project.

The winning bid came from KGS Group, which beat out four other bids in a request-for-proposals process. Council voted to award the bid to KGS Group unanimously at Monday’s meeting.

The decision was made to go to a dedicated project manager, said Director of Operations Stewart Schafer, because of the magnitude of the project.

“This is a very large project – administration didn’t feel we could give it the proper time and energy needed for it.” 

An RFP was opened up and five bids came back. According to Schafer, three of the bids were very close but KGS Group emerged the winner.

The five bidders were reviewed independently according to a points system that ranked the bids based on project understanding, methodology, professional experience, staff and project qualifications, past performance and fees. KGS Group came back with the top score of 71.67 out of 100.
