FOR THE WILDHORSE CROSSING/ WEST 11 STREET BRIDGE
SANITARY SEWER PROJECT. AUTHORIZING THE PUCHASING

CONTINGENCIES, AND TRANSFERRING $240,497.43 FROM THE

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.
