Resolution to Award a Construction Contract to Lester Brother’s Excavation, Inc ($66,260.50; Bid No. ITB-3929) for the Wayne Street Utility Improvements Project - Phase I
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to award a contract to Lester Brother’s Excavation, Inc in the amount of $66,260.50 for the Wayne Street Utility Improvements Project - Phase I.
The scheduled resurfacing of Wayne Street and a history of citizen complaints regarding sanitary sewer back-ups on the street prompted an investigation of the utility services in Wayne Street. During the investigation, it was discovered that several of the Wayne Street residential properties and the First Church of Christ Science are currently served by sanitary sewer leads crossing neighboring properties (cross lot services). Similary, one of the residential properties on Wayne Street has a cross lot water service. There is no sanitary sewer main on Wayne Street, and water main extends along only one block of the street. Constructing sanitary sewers and water main on Wayne Street requires extension of those facilities off of sewers and water main in Washtenaw Avenue and Day Street.
Late in 2007, the City of Ann Arbor was informed by MDOT that the entire length of Washtenaw Avenue would be resurfaced in the spring and summer of 2008. An expedited design of the utility improvements for Wayne Street was initiated imediately. Because of the short time frame, the project was designed to be constructed in two phases, with Phase I being the work that is necessary in Washtenaw Avenue before MDOT starts their work.
Phase I of the project, recommended for approval, includes the construction of approximately 139 feet of new plastic sanitary sewer pipe, and approximately 50 feet of new ductile iron water main from connection to facilities in Washtenaw Avenue to Wayne Street, which is located on the north-east side of Washtenaw Avenue, between Berkshire Road and Vinewood Boulevard.
