6.2A Page 1 . REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Ci Mana er September 13, 2010 SUBJECT Final Acceptance - Sewer Force Main Replacement Project RECOMMENDATION Accept, by motion, the Sewer Force Main Replacement Project and authorize the release of bonds and the retention according to city procedures. BACKGROUND On July 13, 2009, Council awarded the construction contract for the Sewer Force Main Replacement Project to Peak Engineering, Inc. for a base bid of $414,635.11. The work of this project included replacement of the sewer force main pipeline located along Shell Parkway between Marine Parkway to Davit Lane and along Davit Lane to Pump Station No. 10. The project replaced approximately 2,400 linear feet of 12-inch asbestos cement pipe (ACP) with new 12-inch polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC). The project improved the reliability and performance of the waste collection system. Construction began in August, 2009. The force main portion of the work was successfully completed in accordance with the plans and specifications in early October, 2009. Repairs to the roadway surface that was disturbed during work on the pipeline were delayed due to unfavorable weather conditions. Repairs included slurry sealing and striping. Application of slurry seal requires a specific ambient temperature or failure of the material may occur. The city provided the contractor a time extension to the contract so roadwork could be performed during favorable weather conditions. The contractor completed the resurfacing and striping work in May, 2010. Three (3) change orders generating a credit total of $8,938.42 were issued. The final contract amount is $405,696.69 which is approximately 2.5% less than the initially awarded contract amount of $414,635.11. Credits resulted from quantity adjustments. AL TERNA TIVES Council may choose not to accept the project and/or not to authorize the release of bonds and retention which would be contrary to the terms of the contract, prior Council action, and the public contracting code. FISCAL IMPACT Sufficient funding for this construction agreement was previously approved as Sewer Fund Capital Projects, Collection System Replacement.
