SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $586,620.00 TO K.R. SWERDFEGER CONSTRUCTION,
INC., AND SETTING FORTH $117,324 FOR CONTINGENCIES, FOR
PROJECT NO. 23-090 (WWAN05) 2023 MANHOLE REHABILITATION
PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO
EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
During routine maintenance on the sanitary mains by the collection crew, an evaluation
of the manholes is also performed to determine the severity of deterioration. The
manholes are ranked using the National Association of Sewer Service Companies
(NASSCO) evaluation criteria – the higher the ranking, the worse the deterioration.
Manholes for the 23-090 (WWAN05) FY2023 Manhole Rehabilitation Project had to
meet the requirement of being the highest ranking on the manhole evaluation list. To
protect the public interest, these manholes require rehabilitation. Manholes will be
rehabilitated by rebuilding the wall thickness with a cementitious material and sealing
with an epoxy coating or, in more severe cases, being removed, replaced and epoxy
coated. Also, backfilling of the holes around several manholes resulting from washed
away adjacent soil will be performed under this project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
During routine inspection of the sanitary mains, an evaluation of the manholes,
manhole benches and troughs are performed to determine the severity of deterioration
in the manhole structures and to prioritize them accordingly. The manholes chosen for
the 23-090 (WWAN05) FY2023 Manhole Rehabilitation Project had the highest ranking
for rehabilitation.
The existing manholes will be rehabilitated with calcium aluminate and epoxy coating
and manhole benches and troughs will be rebuilt with fast-setting cementitious material
to maintain the intended function of the sewer system and secure a continuous service
to the public. Also, imported backfill material will be placed around several manholes to
fill the holes resulting from washed away soil.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the construction project was bid at $586,620.00 with contingencies of
$117,324. Funds are available from the Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted
and appropriated to Project No. 23-090 (WWAN05).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1 – No Action
The Wastewater Department would take no action. The manholes would continue to
deteriorate until they eventually collapse warranting an emergency repair and possibly
endangering the public.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution
