SUBJECT:
A Resolution to Award a Contract to Wills Burke Kelsey Associates for On-Site Construction Engineering Services on the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
PURPOSE:
To award a contract for on-site construction services on the above referenced project.
BACKGROUND:
The City has been proactively investigating sewers in need of repair. Last fall the City awarded a construction project to H. Linden and Sons to rehabilitate sewers in several locations throughout the City.
DISCUSSION:
The rehabilitation of these sewers will reduce or eliminate the need for constant maintenance by City crews allowing more time for preventative maintenance. This work will also help to eliminate backups of sewer into residential properties, therefore reducing the costs to the City. WBK will be on-site full time to monitor the work and ensure compliance with the plans and specifications.
WBK will provide full time on-site observation on an hourly basis for a not to exceed amount of $37,142.00. The 2014 budget contains funding for this project in IB018 account no. 510-4063-511.73-14 (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 and result in a reduction of costs to the City. WBK will be on-site to ensure that all work is performed in compliance with the plans and specifications.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We respectfully request this item be forwarded to the BGI Committee for their review and recommendation for approval.
