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.
