AND AWARDING CONTRACT TO THE SECOND LOWEST BIDDER, D'ARCY & <br /> HARTY CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE 2009 SANITARY SEWER PIPELINE <br /> REPLACEMENT PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 09- 593 -52 -211. <br /> SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends canceling the award of contract to the low bidder, Andes Construction Inc.. <br /> and awarding the contract to the second low bidder, D'Arcy & Harty Construction Inc., in the <br /> amount of $986,740 for the subject project. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> In 1995, the City completed a comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Master Plan that identified sanitary <br /> sewer system deficiencies throughout the city. Further sewer investigations and inspections <br /> identified additional deficiencies in the City's sanitary sewer system. Using the information from <br /> the Master Plan and the investigation and inspections, the Engineering and Transportation <br /> Department compiled and categorized a list of sewer projects. <br /> Sewer mains are located both in the public right of way and on private properties. Sewer <br /> projects located in the right of way or with a high potential for failure were completed first. <br /> Sewer lines located on private property required easements prior to addressing the remaining <br /> sewer deficiencies. All of the easements needed for the project were obtained successfully. <br /> Pipelines selected for improvement were evaluated by staff to determine the appropriate repair <br /> method ranging from in -place rehabilitation to replacement. These improvements will increase <br /> system reliability, reduce the frequency of required maintenance, and provide the access <br /> necessary to allow for more efficient maintenance and a reduction in overall maintenance costs. <br />
