ISSUE
Should the City Council award a construction contract for the Lake Avenue
Sanitary Sewer Outfall project to Parker Excavating, Inc. in the amount of
$1,126,331.42, and setting forth contingencies in the amount of $225,000.00?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Expansion of the Pueblo city limits south of Pueblo Boulevard has increased the
volume of sanitary sewage generated in the south and southwest areas of the
City. Gravity flow constraints route this wastewater down Lake Avenue and
across the Arkansas River to the James R. Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility.
Wastewater is presently conveyed through a network of 8 -inch, 10 -inch, and 12-
inch pipes south of Highland Avenue. The existing infrastructure is inadequately
sized to carry the increasing flows. This construction project will build a 27 -inch
relief sewer in Lake Avenue from Highland Avenue to Pueblo Boulevard to
accommodate wastewater flows from new developments along the southern and
southwestern edges of the City. The project is scheduled to be completed by
mid - August 2005, prior to the State Fair's opening.
Additional information on the selected rehabilitation method, bid summary, and
utility maps of the sites is attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project are available from the Sanitary Sewer Collection System
Improvement Fund, and have been appropriated as reflected in the approved
2005 Budget.
