Resolution accepting the work of Bluffs Paving and Utility Co. Inc. as complete and authorizing release of the retainage after 30 days if no claims are filed in connection with the Kenmore Avenue and Harrison Street Sanitary Sewer Rehab. Project # PW19-07

Damaged sanitary sewers were identified at two locations and needed to be repaired.  Due to the poor condition of the sewers, an accelerated project schedule was required.

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

The second project was 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 was severely cracked and had 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 were 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 was added to PW19-07 because of the similar scope.  After further investigations at both sites, it was determined that the majority of the sewers could be lined.  This in-place repair method was considerably less expensive than complete removal and replacement.

The Contractor did not complete the project on time and received one non-compliance notice. Liquidated damages in the amount of $11,250 were assessed.

Approval of this resolution.
