Date: March 30, 2026 Item: 3 <br />Presenter: Adam Edwards, City Administrator / Engineer <br />Section: Consent Agenda <br /> <br />Title: 2026 Sewer Rehabilitation Award (26-012) <br /> <br /> <br />1.Purpose: <br />The purpose of this action item is to award the 2026 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project. <br />2.Background: <br />Since 2005, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) has identified Orono as one of <br />the communities who contribute excessive inflow and infiltration (I&I). I/I is clear water — <br />stormwater and groundwater — that enters the wastewater system. It overloads the system and can <br />cause costly sewer backups into homes and buildings. I&I can also cause sewer overflows into <br />rivers and lakes. <br /> <br />The City has been executing a sanitary sewer rehabilitation project annually to reduce I&I. Each <br />year the City works to identify I&I points within the sanitary sewer system thought our annual <br />inspection program. These inspections then inform our rehabilitation efforts for the upcoming <br />years. <br />3.Scope: <br />This Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project will consist of 4,700 linear feet of cured-in-place pipe <br />lateral lining, and other miscellaneous related work to successfully rehabilitate the existing <br />sanitary sewer system. The purpose of the project is to reduce I&I in the sanitary sewer systems <br />and extend the life of the existing pipes. <br />4.Cost: <br />The city received proposals from three contractors. The low bid is for $247,897.00 from Vortex <br />Services MN, LLC (Exhibit C). The engineer's estimate for the project was $266,600. In addition <br />to the construction cost, Bolton and Menk provided a proposal not to exceed $9,000 for <br />construction oversight. (Exhibit D) <br /> <br />Who Work Cost Status <br />Bolton & Menk, Inc Design and <br />Engineering $ 34,900.00 Not to exceed, previously <br />approved <br />Vortex Services MN, <br />LLC Construction $ 247,897.00 Pending award <br />Bolton & Menk, Inc Construction <br />Oversight $ 9,000.00 Not to exceed <br />Total $ 291,797.00 <br />5.Funding: <br />The project is funded from the Sanitary Sewer Fund. The CIP amount was projected at $300,000. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />21
