SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves award of a construction contract to Parker
Excavating, Inc., for emergency sanitary sewer point repairs at 1807 Lake Ave.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
While the Wastewater Department collection crew was performing a-routine cleaning of
sewer mains, a cleaning head became stuck near 1807 Lake Ave. After the cleaning
head was retrieved, a television crew was sent out to inspect the main, and they
discovered a large hole in the pipe invert at the location. They also discovered two more
holes in the main. An emergency repair was performed to repair the three defects to
prevent further deterioration of the pipe and possible blockage of the sewer main.
The repair work was performed under the Sanitary Sewer Point Repair multi-year
contract under which two contractors were qualified via competitive bid. An estimate was
prepared, and Parker Excavating was the lowest bidder and accepted the work.
The cost breakdown for the project is as follows:
Sanitary Sewer Replacement-related
Total: $ 8,088.94 93%
Surface Improvement Related
Total: $ 578.49 7%
Grand Total: $ 8,667.43 100%
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. 24-033 (WWAN03) Emergency Point Repair.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
