Marley, P.E., Public Works Director SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project, Leafland & Edward City Project 2011-06 SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution approving a contract in the amount of$75,870 for the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project, Leafland &Edward, City Project 2011-06, to Entler Excavating Company, Inc. as the lowest qualified bidder and that the Mayor be authorized to execute the contract, and the City Clerk to attest. PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: No Prior Council Actions BACKGROUND: Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project, Leafland and Edward In December of 2010 a sanitary sewer backup was reported by a homeowner. During investigation the City crews could not open the blocked sewer. The sewer was then televised under the 2010 Annual Sanitary Sewer Inspection Program to find a portion of the 15 inch sewer main collapsed, limiting further televising. The 2010 Miscellaneous Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project repaired the sewer to restore flow. After the repair, the sewer was fully televised to find the remaining condition of the pipe in poor condition and needing to be replaced. Because of the poor condition of the sewer, a cured in place liner could not be used to repair it and the pipe needs to be removed and replaced. This replacement was not deemed an emergency by staff so the work was not completed under the 2010 Miscellaneous Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project. Due to the project size, a cost savings was made by preparing plans and specifications to competitively bid the project. Bid Opening The project plans and specifications were prepared by the Public Works Engineering Division staff. The project was advertised June 29, 2011, and bids were opened on July 20, 2011. The results for the letting are as follows: Page I 1
