The forcemain on Tonkawa is approximately 4,700 feet in total length and the Rest Point forcemain is approximately 560 feet long. A small portion of the Tonkawa forcemain was replaced in 2009 but there was another failure in 2011. The proposed replacement section of the forcemain on Tonkawa has had five failures in the recent years and is in need of replacement. This project is proposing replacing an additional 1,6001ineal feet of the forcemain. In addition,the forcemain on Rest Point has had two failures in recent years. During the repair in the fall of 2012, it was noted the condition of the forcemain has deteriorated to a point of needing immediate attention or the City risks additional failures. Bids were opened on August 6 and GL Contracting was the low bidder in the amount of$229,892.10. This amount is approximately 13 percent below the engineering estimate for the project. Staff recommends awarding the bid to GL Contracting in the amount of$229,892.10 rather than delay the project any further. McMillan asked if this road was identified in the City's CIP. Struve indicated it was not and was an item that was overlooked. Page 29 of 37
