REPAIR AT 1016 BLUESTEM BOULEVARD, PROJECT NO. 20-059

SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves award of a construction contract to Parker
Excavating, Inc. for emergency sanitary sewer point repairs at 1016 Bluestem Blvd.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
During routine inspection of sewer mains, the Wastewater Department collection crew
discovered a root ball pulled out of the upstream side of the manhole in the main near
1016 Bluestem Blvd. After cutting the root ball out, they discovered the line was a dead
end and it was not plugged causing a large void to develop at the end of the pipe. An
emergency repair was necessary to repair this defect by removing the existing manhole
and installing a new manhole where the dead end was located.
The repair work was performed under the Sanitary Sewer Point Repair multi-year
contract under which three contractors were qualified via competitive bid. An estimate
was prepared, and K.R. Swerdfeger Construction, Inc. was the low bidder but could not
perform the work. The project was awarded to the next low bidder, Parker Excavating.
The cost breakdown for the project is as follows:
Sanitary Sewer Replacement-related
Total: $ 13,772.93 88%
Surface Improvement Related
Total: $ 1,805.00 12%
Grand Total: $ 15,577.93 100%
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for this project came 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. 20-059 (WWAN03).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
Not approve the Resolution, but this would require a finding that there was not an
emergency condition.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
ATTACHMENTS:
