Resolution accepting the bid of Bluffs Paving and Utility Co. Inc. in the amount of $380,938.06 for the Kenmore Avenue and Harrison Street Sanitary Sewer Rehab.  Project # PW19-07

On July 12, 2018 bids were received in the office of the city clerk as follows:

The first site is located along Kenmore Avenue, between Kenmore Circle and Keeline Drive.  By video inspection, it has been determined that portions of the sewer were originally constructed using concrete pipe.  Some segments of the pipe have deteriorated and are in poor condition and other areas appear to have settled, causing back-fall in the pipe.  Both replacement and in-situ rehabilitations will be used for the sewer repairs in this area.

The second project is located at Harrison Street, immediately north of Kanesville Boulevard.  During a water main repair, the existing sanitary was exposed.  After an inspection, it was discovered that the VCP sanitary sewer is severely cracked and has already begun to crush under the street.  There is a large storm sewer and a second sanitary sewer located within the same corridor.  In-situ rehabilitation and spot repairs will be used for this segment of sewer. 

A project was included for Kenmore Avenue in the FY19 CIP with a budget of $600,000 in Sales Tax Funds.  Harrison Street was not planned, but has been added to PW19-07 because of the similar scope.  After further investigations at both sites, it was determined that the majority of the sewers can be lined.  This in-place repair method is considerably less expensive than complete removal and replacement.  Based on the bid received, both projects can be completed within the original budget.

Approval of this resolution.
