SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — November 12, 2009
ITEM: 10G1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a construction contract
with SKE Construction, LLC for the Greenslopes A/C Water Line Replacement
Project.
Department:
Staff Person:
Justification:
Water and Wastewater Utilities
Michael Thane, P.E., Director of Utilities
This contract is for the replacement of asbestos cement (A/C) water lines in the Greenslopes subdivision,
by using pre -chlorinated pipe bursting. In 2008, the City successfully completed its first A/C water line
replacement project using the pipe bursting method. Areas for replacement of A/C waterlines were
prioritized based on where the most water line breaks have occurred within the City. Selected 6 -inch
and 8 -inch A/C water lines in the Greenslopes subdivision along with one 400 foot section of 16 -inch
water line along South Mays are to be replaced under this contract. Replacing A/C waterlines benefits
the City by reducing: 1) disruption in the neighborhoods from repeated repair work, 2) unaccounted for
water losses due to water main breaks, and 3) the burden on city water maintenance forces.
On October 6, 2009, two bids in the amount of $772,338.25 and $812,232.25, were received and
publicly read aloud. The Design Engineer and the City's Utility staff recommend awarding the project to
the low bidder, SKE Construction, LLC.
