Item Summary:
Four existing 54" Concrete Masonry Pipe (CMP) culverts under Bowman Road have
deteriorated to the degree that an existing high pressure gas main may be exposed and
become a risk to the Public. These culverts cross Bowman Road near the intersection of
Nicole Circle. The design for these necessary improvements was prepared by the City's
Engineering staff.
On June 4, 2013, the City received Construction Bids on the Bowman Road Culvert
Rehabilitation Project. All Bids received were over the Engineer's estimate. After thoroughly
reviewing all bids, it was determined that in lieu of paying inflated material cost and losing
6 -inches of capacity, we would opt for an alternative method that gives the City at least the
same structural stability while gaining capacity. We have conducted extensive research and
found a better application to address the deterioration of the existing 54" CMP culvert pipes
that cross Bowman Road. All Bidders have been notified of the intent to reject all Bids, and
have subsequently received the Notice to Bidders for the revised Bid.
Staff recommends approval.
