SWERDFEGER CONSTRUCTION, INC., AND SETTING FORTH $55,000.00 FOR CONTINGENCIES, FOR THE PENN AVENUE EMERGENCY SANITARY SEWER REPAIR, AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE THE SAME ISSUE Should the City Council award a construction contract in the amount of $180,000 to K.R. Swerdfeger Construction, Inc., for the Penn Avenue emergency sanitary sewer repair? RECOMMENDATION Approve this Resolution. BACKGROUND On Wednesday, July 11, 2007, the Wastewater Department became aware of a blocked sanitary sewer line in Penn Avenue near the intersection with East Corona Avenue. A cleaning hose became stuck in a 6 -inch sanitary sewer main during routine maintenance. Efforts to extract the hose were unsuccessful. The sewer main dates from 1928, and it was feared that more strenuous efforts to remove the hose could cause the main to collapse. Because the existing sewer main runs outside the paved street and buildings have been erected over portions of the sewer main, it is necessary to construct a new main in a different alignment to restore service. There are issues with underground utilities and overhead electric poles that require equipment the City does not own. Because the job proved to be beyond the scope of the Wastewater Department, the City Manager was asked on July 11, 2007 to approve an emergency repair. A copy of the agreement with K.R. Swerdfeger Construction, Inc. is attached, along with the quote for the unit prices for the work. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for this project will come.from the emergency repair budget funded by the Sewer User Fund. Funding is available and was appropriated in the 2007 budget.
