INTRODUCED January 25, 2016 BY: Ed Brown City Clerk’s Office Item # Q-1 Background Paper for Proposed Resolution COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 25, 2016 TO: President Stephen G. Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk From: Gene Michael, Wastewater Director A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE SUBJECT: AMOUNT OF $789,997.43 TO CORTEZ CONSTRUCTION COMPANY TH FOR THE WILDHORSE CROSSING/ WEST 11 STREET BRIDGE SANITARY SEWER PROJECT. AUTHORIZING THE PUCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE SAME, SETTING FORTH $118,000.00 FOR CONTINGENCIES, AND TRANSFERRING $240,497.43 FROM THE LARGE MAIN REHABILITION PROJECT TO SAID PROJECT SUMMARY: Attached is a resolution awarding a construction contract to Cortez Construction Company to construct a new gravity sanitary sewer main for the Wildhorse Crossing/ th West 11 Street Bridge Sanitary Sewer Project. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION : None BACKGROUND : This project is to realign the existing sanitary sewer crossing Wildhorse Creek. The th existing sanitary sewer main lies in the foot print of the new 11 Street Bridge Project. The project consists of moving the current sanitary sewer main approximately 30 feet to th the north of West 11 Street. There will be 1,011 feet of new sewer main constructed; two existing manholes will be removed and replaced, and four new manholes will be constructed. A drop structure will be built in Wildhorse Creek to protect the sanitary th sewer main against erosion and to provide erosion control for the new West 11 Street Bridge. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS : The project was bid by Cortez Construction Company at a cost of $789,997.43. A contingency fund of $118,000 will be established. Funds in the amount of $668,000 have been budgeted and appropriated to the Wildhorse Crossing Project (WW1301). Additional funds of $240,497.43 will be transferred from the Large Main Rehabilitation th Project (WWAN02) to the Wildhorse Crossing/ West 11 Street Bridge Project #15-063 (WW1301). 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 main th and the sanitary sewer system would remain as is, forcing construction of the 11 Street Bridge to attempt to work around the existing sanitary sewer main. Doing so th will delay construction of the West 11 Street Bridge, and would increase the cost of the bridge project significantly by requiring redesign and requiring the bridge contractor to use unusual construction methods to work around and protect the existing sanitary sewer main. Alternative No. 2 – Lift Station In lieu of constructing a new gravity sanitary sewer main, the City could replace the existing sanitary sewer main with a lift station and force main. This option is significantly more costly, both in terms of initial construction and in terms of the long-term operating and maintenance costs for the lift station.
