SUBJECT:
A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $3,593.75 TO CORTEZ CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., FOR
EMERGENCY SANITARY SEWER POINT REPAIR IN THE ALLEY
BEHIND 1706 BRAGDON AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING THE
PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is a resolution awarding a construction contract to Cortez Construction Co.,
Inc. for emergency sanitary sewer point repair in the alley behind 1706 Bragdon
Avenue.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
:
None
BACKGROUND
:
On October 22, 2014, the Wastewater Department was informed that the 8-inch main in
the alley behind 1706 Bragdon Avenue was broken and there were 1-inch diameter
roots coming from the tap into the main. The problem was discovered after a telephone
call from Patterson Plumbing was reinstating a tap for the customer at 1706 Bragdon
Avenue and in digging the trench, found the break in the main. Patterson Plumbing
called us immediately to have us come and repair the main. Due to the structural issues
in the sewer main, soil was allowed to enter the main and wastewater to exit. As raw
sewage exits the main, it can potentially enter the groundwater, causing a serious public
health and safety concern. In addition, since Patterson Plumbing already had a trench
dug, the hole left in the alley would also pose a public safety problem. Therefore, it was
determined that the break in the main needed to be repaired and the tap reinstated.
Cortez Construction Co., Inc. was asked to install a new section of 8-inch pipe to ensure
raw wastewater did not exit the main and to ensure public health and safety.
The quote for the unit prices for the work by Cortez Construction Co., Inc. and the
change order for the project are attached. This work was performed under the Sanitary
Sewer Point Repair multi-year contract under which nine (9) contractors were qualified
via competitive bid. During the project the costs were modified by actual field quantities
as noted on the attached change order.
The cost breakdown for the project is as follows:
Sanitary Sewer Replacement-related
Remove & Replace 8" PVC < 8' $414.00
Reinstate Service $862.50
Mobilization $747.50
56%
Subtotal: $2,024.00
Surface Improvement-related
Asphalt Patch – 4-inch Depth (20-100’) $1,293.75
Deliver and Place 1 Load Class 6 Plus
15% Per Contract $276.00
44%
Subtotal: $1,569.75
TOTAL: $3,593.75
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
Funding for this project will come from the sanitary sewer rehabilitation budget funded
by the Sewer User Fund. Funding is available and has been budgeted, appropriated
and allocated to Project No. 13-012 (WWAN03).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
:
None
ALTERNATIVES
:
Alternative No. 1 – No Action
Under this alternative, the City would make no improvements to the existing sanitary
system and the 8-inch main would continue to release raw sewage into the groundwater.
In addition, the trench created in the alley would not be filled back in. This creates a
serious health and safety issue to the public.
Alternative No. 2 – Place the 8-inch Main on the Rehabilitation List
Under this alternative, the City would make no immediate improvements to the existing
sanitary system. The 8-inch main would be put on a rehabilitation list and prioritized by
the level of importance for future rehabilitation projects. Again, there would be a risk that
raw sewage continues exiting the main, and a serious health and safety issue would still
be present to the public.
RECOMMENDATION
:
Approval of the Resolution.
