SUBJECT:
A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $3,197 TO CORTEZ CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., FOR
EMERGENCY SANITARY SEWER POINT REPAIR IN THE ALLEY
BEHIND 1209 NORTH MAIN STREET 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 1209 North Main
Street.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
:
None
BACKGROUND
:
On August 29, 2014, the Wastewater Department discovered that the 8-inch main in the
alley behind 1209 North Main Street had an obstruction which was causing the sewer
line cleaning head to get stuck in the line. Therefore, after a televised inspection was
completed and reviewed, a large break with a visible void and a large joint offset had
caused the 8-inch main to act more as a 4-inch line. Due to the problem, soil was
entering the main. Eventually, the break and separation would potentially lead to back-
ups as the raw sewage would collect and be unable to drain properly. The break in the
sewer main was approximately 37 linear feet from the upstream manhole, putting it
directly in the middle of Main Street. Therefore, it was determined that the break and
offset joint in the line needed to be repaired. Cortez Construction Co., Inc. was asked to
install a new section of 8-inch pipe to ensure backups did not occur 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' $552.00
Traffic Control Plus 15% Per Contract $555.45
Mobilization $747.50
58%
Subtotal: $1,854.95
Surface Improvement-related
Asphalt Patch $569.25
Deliver and Place Flowfill Plus 15%
Per Contract $772.80
42%
Subtotal: $1,342.05
TOTAL: $3,197.00
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
Funding for this project will come from the sanitary sewer rehabilitation budget funded
by the Sewer User Fund. Funding was available and had 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 hold water. This would eventually lead to
raw sewage exiting the main, increased risk of backups, and increasing the risk for
collapse in the middle of Main Street.
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 continue exiting the main, increased risk of backups, and increasing the risk
for collapse in the middle of Main Street.
