A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE
SUBJECT:
AMOUNT OF $337,841 TO INSITUFORM TECHNOLOGIES AND
SETTING FORTH $67,568.20 FOR CONTINGENCIES, FOR THE
FY2014 SANITARY SEWER MAIN LINING PROJECT AND
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is a resolution awarding a construction contract to Insituform Technologies for
FY2014 Sanitary Sewer Main Lining Project at ten different sites throughout the City of
Pueblo.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
:
None
BACKGROUND
:
The sanitary sewer system is comprised of several different types of pipe. One of these
pipe types is vitrified clay pipe (VCP) which, as the name suggests, can be very brittle.
Sections of clay pipe are very short due to their weight and therefore, roots are
introduced through the joints in the pipe. Roots can cause severe backups and
unsanitary conditions into homes and the public streets. In addition, breaks due to the
brittle condition of clay pipe can cause large voids in the sanitary sewer pipe which
allow raw sewage to enter the ground, contaminating the ground water. If complete
collapse is not present in the sewer main, there is an option of lining the mains with an
impenetrable lining that will stop the entrance of roots and cover small voids and breaks
in the sewer main. The Wastewater Department maintains a priority list of these
deteriorating sanitary sewer mains. The sites for this project were taken from that list
due to their advanced deteriorated structural condition. To protect public interest, these
mains require rehabilitation.
The work by Insituform would involve installing an impenetrable liner known as cured-in-
place pipe into the 6,200 feet of pipe. Private taps shall be reinstated to the sanitary
sewer main using a “reinstate” which will cut a hole through the liner at each tap. In
addition, at any tap location that is called out as being “defective,” a “full wrap lateral
repair” will be used to repair the defect. One standard 48” manhole shall be installed at
the intersection of Rawhide Rd. and Wildfire Dr.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
The cost of the construction project will not exceed $337,841. Funds are available from
the Sewer User Funds and have been appropriated to Project #14-037
(WWAN01/WWAN02). Approximately $224,724 will come from WWAN01 and $113,117
from WWAN02.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
:
None
ALTERNATIVES
:
Alternative No. 1 – No Action
Under this alternative, the City would do no improvements to the existing sanitary
mains and the system would remain as is. Doing so could introduce unsanitary
conditions to the public as well as contaminate ground water sources with raw
sewage.
Alternative No. 2 – Remove and Replace Sanitary Sewer Mains
Under this alternative, all of the mains in each of the 10 sites throughout the project
would be excavated to remove all of the VCP and replaced with polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
pipe. The amount of pipe that would need to be removed and replaced would be
approximately 6,000 feet. This amount would include roughly 1,300 feet of 15” pipe. The
remaining amount of pipe would consist of 8” pipe. A 48” manhole would be installed
within the public right-of-way and all taps deemed to be “defective” would have to be
excavated and repaired. Taps will have to be cut into the new PVC pipe at each tap
location. There are approximately 128 taps that are included in the 10 sites. One of the
ten sites runs underneath the railroad. At this location, a permit to be on railroad right-
of-way would need to be obtained and boring under the tracks would then have to be
done.
The engineer’s estimate for Alternative No. 2 is approximately $1,000,000.
