body
PURPOSE:
Award a contract for the above referenced project.
BACKGROUND:
The sewer mains contained within this project are in a state of disrepair which is causing the sewer to surcharge and cause backups into residential basements.
DISCUSSION:
The replacement of this will reduce or eliminate the need for constant maintenance by City crews allowing more time for more preventative maintenance. This work will also reduce or eliminate the backup of sewer into residential properties, therefore reducing cost to the City for repairing property damaged by sewer surcharging into basements.
Two bids were received, and publicly opened and read on Wednesday, September 11th, 2013. The low bid was submitted by H. Linden and Sons Sewer and Water, Inc. in the amount of $604,554.00.00. The 2013 budget contains funding for this project in IB018 Account no. 510-4470-511.73-14 (Water and Sewer Fund).
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This project will reduce the amount of reactive maintenance and allow more time for preventative maintenance by City crews. Sewage in residential basements will be reduced or eliminated and the City will experience a reduction in costs associated with repairing properties damaged by sewer backups in basements.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We respectfully request that this item be forwarded to the BGI Committee for their review and recommendation for approval.
