ISSUE Should the City Council award a construction contract for the Thatcher Avenue Sanitary Sewer Outfall project to Sun Construction, Inc. in the amount of $643,279.17, and setting forth contingencies in the amount of $129,000.00? RECOMMENDATION Approve this Resolution. BACKGROUND Expansion of the Pueblo city limits at the west end of RedCreek Springs Road and St. Clair Avenue will increase the volume of sanitary sewage generated in the west and southwest areas of the City. Gravity flow constraints route this wastewater down Thatcher Avenue to the James R. Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility. Wastewater is presently conveyed through a12 -inch pipe between Long Street and Hewitt Street. The existing infrastructure is inadequately sized to carry the increasing flows. This construction project will build a 21 -inch sanitary sewer outfall in Thatcher Avenue from Long Street to Hewitt Street to accommodate wastewater flows from new developments along the western and southwestern edges of the City. The project is scheduled to be completed by mid - September 2005. 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.
