Attached is a Resolution awarding a construction contract to Russ Grading and Excavating LLC
for Project No. 23-055 (WWAN01), 2023 Small Main Remove and Replace Project. The project
will remove and replace the deteriorated Small Sewer Mains and Manholes for the sites listed
below.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department maintains a priority list of deteriorating sanitary sewer mains. All
the sites on the project were taken from this list due to their deteriorated structural condition. To
protect the public interest, these mains require rehabilitation.
The cost breakdown for the project is as follows:
Description Sewer Related Surface Related Council District
1 Remove and Replace $1,155,742.00 $402,346.25 2, 3 & 4
Project % 74% 26%
The total cost of the project is estimated at $1,869,706.25, including contingencies.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the construction project was bid at $1,558,088.25 with contingencies of
$311,618.00. Funds are available from the Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted and
appropriated to Project No. 23-055 (WWAN01).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1 - No Action
If no rehabilitation is performed on the collection system, the condition of the sanitary mains
would continue to deteriorate until an emergency repair is required. The Wastewater
Department would also risk violating its discharge permit if a sanitary sewer overflow were to
happen.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of Resolution
