Resolution to Award Contract for Eighth Street Sanitary Sewer Manhole Replacement (ITB-4337) to Fonson, Inc. ($47,193.00)
Memorandum
The manholes are 101 years old, composed of brick and are disintegrating. Corrosion from exposure to sewer gases, vibration from traffic, decades of freeze/thaw cycles and variations in hydrostatic soil pressures have combined to deteriorate the manholes. Observed decomposition includes spalling, weakened mortar, missing bricks and excessive groundwater infiltration.

The City received the following four bids for construction services:
E. T. MacKenzie Co. $66,900.00
C. I. Contracting, Inc. $67,238.00
Evergreen Civil, LLC $78,175.00
Fonson, Inc. $47,193.00

Fonson, Inc. is the lowest responsible bidder.

The recommended contract includes $47,193.00 to replace the two deteriorated sanitary sewer manholes on Eighth Street and a 10% construction contingency in the amount of $4,719.00 to cover potential change orders, for a total of $51,912.00.

Fonson, Inc. received Contract Compliance and Living Wage approvals on May 12, 2014.

Funds for this project are included in the approved Sanitary Sewer Capital Budget.
