Resolution
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 22, 2025
TO: President Mark Aliff and Members of City Council
CC: Mayor Heather Graham
VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk
FROM: Andra Ahrens, Director Wastewater
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $557,222.00 TO MILLER PIPELINE LLC AND SETTING
FORTH $111,444.00 FOR CONTINGENCIES, FOR PROJECT NO. 25-
107 (WWAN05) 2025 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 25-107 (WWAN05) FY2025 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 by trenchless or open-cut
methods.
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 25-
107 (WWAN05) FY2025 Manhole Rehabilitation Project had the highest ranking for
rehabilitation.
The manholes will be rehabilitated by trenchless or open cut methods. Trenchless
methods include placing calcium aluminate and epoxy coating on the manhole walls and
rebuilding the manhole benches and troughs with fast-setting cementitious material. Two
manholes that have been abandoned will be filled with flow-fill concrete, and a new
manhole will be installed for routine maintenance access.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the construction project was bid at $557,222.00 with contingencies of
$111,444.00. Funds are available from the Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted
and appropriated to Project No. 25-107 (WWAN05) - Manhole Rehabilitation Project.
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.
