FOR EMERGENCY SANITARY SEWER POINT REPAIR AT 2820 ASTER ST, PROJECT NO. 20-059 (WWAN03) AND APPROVING THE PURCHASING AGENT’S EXECUTION OF THE SAME SUMMARY: This Resolution ratifies and approves award of a construction contract to Parker Excavating, Inc. for emergency sanitary sewer point repairs at 2820 Aster St. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None BACKGROUND: On January 18th, 2023, the Wastewater Department was notified of a large sink hole in the 2800 block of Aster Street. The collection crew televised the main and discovered a large sag in the main. The crew could not televise the downstream pipe segment due to the sag and safety concerns as the downstream manhole is in Pueblo Boulevard. After the sag and the sinkhole were repaired, the television crew were able to televise the remaining pipe and discovered more large sags in the downstream pipe segment extending into Pueblo Boulevard. An emergency repair was necessary to repair the sinkhole and the sags, and to prevent a backup due to the existing sags. 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: $ 117,948.41 79% Surface Improvement Related Total: $ 31,795.40 21 % Grand Total: $ 149,743.81 100% 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: 1. 8-14-23 2820 Aster St Emergency Point Repair Attachment
