£LTUING 41SSOMIT .CS Memo TO: Mayor Biesener & Members of the City Council FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: November 8, 2013 RE: Miscellaneous Storm Sewer Improvements Recommendation for Award This fall Public Works crews encountered two storm sewer areas along County Road B2 that require repair. The first was settlement /sink holes due to separated pipe joints on the storm pipe running from County Road 32 into the Sleepy Hollow pond. The second was a partially crushed corrugated metal pipe inlet at the railroad crossing ditch. We felt it was necessary to complete these repairs this fall so that the storm sewer system would function properly next year as spring melting occurs. Therefore, a plan was prepared and we requested quotes from three Contractors. A third storm improvement was included in the plan that involved the installation of a storm sewer inlet over an existing pipe on the west side of McMenemy Street south of the church driveway. A significant portion of McMenemy drains north to the intersection of Little Canada Road and must then flow east across the intersection. This inlet would pick up a significant portion of that water minimizing the amount of drainage across the street. Two of the three Contractors submitted quotes to complete the work and the results are summarized below: Contractor 32 Storm Repairs McMenemy Inlet Total CW Houle, Inc. $ 9,865.00 $10,075.00 $19,940.00 Kuechle Underground, Inc. $161145.00 $10,945.00 $27,090.00 The work on McMenemy Street would require some street patching and concrete work. In reviewing the bid it appears that the cold weather has resulted in higher than anticipated costs for this work. Based on the pricing we received at this time we would recommend not including the McMenemy Street inlet work in the award. This work could be completed with a street project in the future if desired. The repairs on County Road 132 are outside of the street and are not as affected by the colder weather and the pricing appears competitive. Therefore, we would recommend the City Council award the County Road B2 work to CW Houle at the quoted price of $9,865.00.
