SUBJECT:
A Resolution to award the Keating Drive Water Main Improvements project located in Ward 9 to Performance Construction & Engineering LLC in the bid amount of $647,770.
PURPOSE:
Water main installation has been deemed necessary on Keating Drive between Normantown Road and Middlebury Drive to increase system capacity. The City's engineering consultant modeled the water distribution system in anticipation of the Lincoln Prairie development in the southeast area end of the system and identified two necessary water main extensions to serve potential commercial development at that location. This is the first of those two locations. As part of the development agreement, the Pulte Group will be reimbursing the city for the cost of this project including all City of Aurora engineering division efforts to design, permit and manage the construction of this project. A 16” ductile iron water main is being installed.
BACKGROUND:
A location map is attached as Exhibit A to show the limits of the project. There are no services located within the project limits.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed improvements have been publicly advertised and bid in conformance with City procedures. The advertisement for bid is attached as Exhibit B. Six conforming bids were received, publicly opened and read aloud on June 26, 2024. The bid tabulation and Performance Construction & Engineering LLC.’s bid are attached as Exhibits C and E.
This project was subject to the Local Preference Ordinance, however no local contractors submitted.
The project amount ($647,770) is budgeted for in 2024 within account 510-4058-511-73-01 (IC062) which has a 2024 budget amount of $750,000.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Traffic may be detoured to Montgomery Road but the increase in traffic will be temporary and negligible.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
