Hollister City Manager RESOLUTION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT TO ANDES CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE 2009 SEWER PIPELINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 09-593-52-211. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends award of contract to the low bidder, Andes Construction Inc., in the amount of $707,575 for the subject project. BACKGROUND In 1995, the City completed a comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Master Plan that identified sanitary sewer system deficiencies throughout the city. Further sewer investigations and inspections identified additional deficiencies in the City's sanitary sewer system. Using the information from the Master Plan and the investigation and inspections, the Engineering and Transportation Department compiled and categorized a list of sewer projects. Sewer mains are located both in the public right of way and on private properties. Sewer projects located in the right of way or with a high potential for failure were completed first. Sewer lines located on private property required easements prior to addressing the remaining sewer deficiencies. All of the easements needed for the project were obtained successfully. Pipelines selected for improvement were evaluated by staff to determine the appropriate repair method ranging from in-place rehabilitation to replacement. These improvements will increase system reliability, reduce the frequency of required maintenance, and provide the access necessary to allow for more efficient maintenance and a reduction in overall maintenance costs.
