Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain Council approval to solicit Bids for the 2015-16 <br />sanitary sewer rehabilitation project. <br />2. Background. Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) provide sanitary sewer <br />treatment for the majority of communities (including Orono) in metropolitan area. Since 2005, MCES has <br />identified Orono as one of the communities who contribute excessive Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) to <br />MCES's system and assessed a surcharge fee ($121,827 for 2016) against the city. This charge can be <br />offset by any I & I improvement projects the city undertakes. The City has been executing a sanitary <br />sewer rehabilitation project annually to reduce I & I. Council approved solicitation of bids at the October <br />26th, Council meeting. Bids were opened on December 10, 2015. <br />3. Project Scope. The sanitary sewer rehabilitation project will consist of Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) <br />lining approximately 4,915 feet of aged sanitary sewer pipes (1964-1969), manhole reconstruction, and <br />lid replacement (Exhibit A). These lines have significant I&I issues as they are located in low lying areas <br />where the pipe is below the groundwater elevation. <br />3. Cost. The lowest acceptable Bid was for $266,234.90 from Insituform. (Exhibit B) <br />Who <br />Work <br />Cost <br />Insituform <br />CIPP and Manhole Lining <br />$ 266,234.90 <br />Bolton <br />&Meek <br />Construction Management <br />NTE <br />$17,350.00 <br />TOTAL <br />$283,584.90 <br />4. Funding. This project will be funded through the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund and a $25,000 grant <br />from MCES. <br />5. Timing. Project is to be completed by the end of July 2016. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Consider a motion to award the sanitary sewer improvements contract to Insituform for $266,234.90 and <br />approve the Bolton & Menk Construction Management Proposal. <br />
