\ <br />v>; <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />cot'*'''” •*er'=T||yj(3 <br />JUN 1 3 2005 <br />DATE: June 13,200S <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />ITEM NO.: <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregory A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administaator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Public Services Director's Report <br />Item Description: Award Contract for TH12 Sewer Pipe Bursting Expansion Project <br />This project is to expand an existing 8” sanitary sewer to a 12" sewer for increased flow capacity <br />required for new development in the Highway 12 corridor. Pipe bursting is similar to directional <br />boring and allows for expansion of the pipe without digging up the sewer line in order to minimize <br />disturbance of the project site. The 2004 Sewer Fund Capital Budget included $25,000 for this <br />project. <br />This sewer line runs south from Highway 12 along the west side of the Golf Dome and then <br />connects to a new 12 “ sewer, installed as part of the new Highway 12 sewer system reconfiguration <br />project, which then runs along the south side of the Golf Dome to Industrial Boulevard in Long <br />Lake. There are two 8" gravity sewers along the highway from both the east and west that flow into <br />the 8" sewer that flows south, and this project will provide for a continuous 12" sewer line <br />downstream of the two 8" pipes. <br />1*his project also includes the removal of an existing reliever lift station located in the northeast <br />comer of the Morries Automotive property. This lift station was installed about five years ago to <br />provide sufficient sewer capacity until the new Highway 1 2 sewer reconfiguration project was <br />completed which now has sufficient capacity to handle the ultimate development conditions for this <br />area. During high flow conditions, the reliever lift station pumps the excess flow into the MCES <br />Maple Plain forcemain which is located on the south side of Highway 1 2. Alternate Number I is for <br />the removal of the reliever lift station and salvaging the components for the City to use in another lift <br />station as this equipment is only five years old. <br />This project was advertised for bids in the Construction Bulletin and the Laker/Pioneer newspapers <br />with a bid opening at 11:00 a.m. on May 26"*. Four bids were submitted, and the lowest responsible <br />bid received was from Push ConsUiiction Inc. Rice Lake Wisconsin in the amount of $47,740.00 <br />for the Base Bid and $2,500.00 for Alternate 1 . This firm has good references and is qualified to <br />complete this work, and our recommendation is to award the contract for this project to Push Inc. <br />This project was included in the 2004 Sewer Fund Capital Budget, so a budget adjustment will be <br />required to complete this work in 2005.
