DATE: October 18, 2007
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - October 25, 2007
ITEM: 11E1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a
construction contract with Murphy Pipeline Contractors, Inc.
for the Greenlawn Place Blue Tubing and Waterline
Replacement Project.
Department: Water and Wastewater Utilities
Staff Person: Michael Thane, P.E., Director of Utilities
Justification:
The city budgeted $1,950,640 to perform the replacement of 460 blue polybutylene
water service lines with black polyethylene water service lines, and to replace
asbestos cement (A/C) waterlines in Greenlawn Place Sections 1, 2, and 3; Windy
Park Sections 1 and 2; and Windy Terrace Section 1. The engineer's cost estimate
for the project was $2,040,480. Therefore, the single bid received was within both
the budgeted and the estimated amounts.
Areas for replacement of A/C waterlines were prioritized based on where the most
waterline breaks are occurring within the City. All of the 6-inch and 8-inch A/C
waterlines in Greenlawn Place Sections 1, 2, and 3; Windy Park Section 2; and Windy
Terrace Section 1 are to be replaced with 8-inch waterlines under this contract.
Funding•
Cost: $1,742,781.01
Source of funds: Blue Tubing Fund ($607,906)
Self Financed Utility Fund ($1,134,875.01)
Outside Resources: S. D. Kallman, L.P.
Background Information•
There was one bidder on this project. The bid for the project is $1,742,781.01 for
replacing the blue tubing service lines and the A/C water lines. Replacing water
services and A/C waterlines benefits the City by: 1) disruption to the neighborhoods
for repair work, 2) reducing unaccounted for water losses, and 3) reducing the
burden on city water maintenance forces.
