Title
Ordinance amending the FY12-13 budget for sewer line replacements
Body
SUMMARY: Staff has identified three sewer line locations in need of repair and they are shown on the attached drawings and described as follows:
Attachment #1 shows two sewer force main replacement sections approximately 1,115 feet of 10 inch sewer line. Section #1 has had approximately 20 breaks in the past 3 years and section #2 has had 2 breaks in the past 2 years. This line carries approximately 20 to 25 % of the City's sewer. Attachment #2 shows the third replacement project in red. It consists of abandoning approximately 225' of 8" gravity sewer that is collapsed with approximately 230' of new pipe and an additional manhole. This project will also include a 4" service line with bore.
City staff has received a proposal from Fields Engineering for the design, permitting and bidding of the project for $23,527.00 and $10,750.00 for contract administration and resident inspection. Field's Engineering has also developed a broad estimate for the three projects totaling $236,555.00 which contains a fifteen percent contingency. The Director of Engineering recommends the approval of a contract with Field's Engineer in the amount of $34,277.00 for this project and a budget amendment in the amount of $270,832.00
