SUBJECT:
Resolution to Award a Contract to Superior Excavating Company, Inc. for the Galena Boulevard, Elmwood Drive, and Fourth Street Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project.
BGI Committee - May 12, 2014.
PURPOSE:
To award a contract for the above referenced project.
BACKGROUND:
The sewers to be repaired by this contract are in disrepair and frequently cause sewer back-ups for the residents in these areas. They require regular service by the City's maintenance crews.
DISCUSSION:
The replacement of these sewers will reduce or eliminate the need for constant maintenance by City crews allowing more time for preventative maintenance. The work will also reduce or eliminate the backup of sewage into residential properties, therefore reducing costs to the City for maintenance and repairs to private properties damage by the backups.
Six (6) bids were received, publicly opened and read aloud on Wednesday, April 23, 2014. The low bid was submitted by Superior Excavating Company, Inc., in the amount of $492,000. 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 necessary 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We respectfully request this item be forwarded to the BGI Committee for their review and recommendation for approval.
