The Base Bid consists of approximately 4,844 LF of 8” cured-in-place (CIPP) pipe rehabilitation along County Road B as well as along Lakeshore Avenue and Australian Avenue in Little Canada. The Alternate Bid adds 2,580 LF of 8” CIPP to the contract along McMenemy Street. These areas were televised in advance of the project and showed evidence of structural deficiencies and infiltration at many of the pipe joints, making these areas perfect candidates for a CIPP project. These three areas have been identified as three of the most susceptible areas in the City for inflow and infiltration along with root intrusion. The table below shows the anticipated total project budget expectations compared to the Engineer’s Estimate, which was established prior to the bid opening. This table includes both the Base and Alternate Bids as well as the professional services contract previously awarded to Bolton & Menk to help administer the project. Base Bid $ 190,706.00 $ 155,666.32 Alternative Bid $ 94,640.00 $ 77,807.40 Engineering $ 32,265.00 $ 32,265.00 Total $ 317,611.00 $ 265,738.72 Hydro-Klean Bid Price + EngineeringEngineer’s Estimate Although the total contract value is slightly higher than the budget allocated for this work ($265,738.72 - $253,570.00 = $12,168.72) staff is recommending award of the Base and Alternative improvements to Hydro-Klean as part of this project. The prices the City received on this project are extremely competitive given the scope of work and current bidding environment we are seeing in the industry. In addition, if the work is not awarded and completed in 2022, the City will lose the grant funding allocated to them from MCES. Good bid prices coupled with an experienced contractor who has previously worked in Little Canada make award of this contract very desirable to the City in its mission to supply a reliable public utility system for its residents. SOURCE OF FUNDS: This project was identified in the 2022-2031 Capital Improvement Plan. The source of the funds will be from the Water and Sewer Capital Replacement Fund. The fund is healthy and can support the additional funding necessary to get a lot more sanitary sewer lining completed at a very good price. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the City Council award the Base Bid and Alternate Bid in the amount of $233,473.72 to Hydro-Klean, LLC. Bolton and Menk has extensive work experience with Hydro- Klean, LLC and believes that they are qualified to do the work and will complete the work in a quality manner within the constraints/guidelines of the project specifications.
