Resolution to Award a Contract for the 2010 Sanitary Sewer Manhole Replacement Project to CI Contracting Inc. ($216,945.00)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to CI Contracting Inc. for the 2010 Sanitary Sewer Manhole Replacement Project in the amount of $216,945.00.
This project involves replacing four dilapidated sanitary sewer manholes in four separate locations in the City. The existing manholes are upwards of 85 years old and in varying stages of decomposition. Each manhole was originally constructed with house bricks. Corrosion from exposure to hydro-sulfuric acid, 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 and missing bricks.
The City received the following six bids for construction services:
CI Contracting Inc. $216,945.00
Dunigan Brothers, Inc. $281,000.00
Eagle Excavation, Inc. $357,000.00
Stante Excavating Co. $383,244.00
Sinatech Construction $498,900.00
Douglas N. Higgins, Inc. $519,000.00
Since CI Contracting Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid in the amount of $216,945.00, it is recommended that the bid from CI Contracting Inc. for $216,945.00 be accepted, and that CI Contracting Inc. be awarded the contract for the 2010 Sanitary Sewer Manhole Replacement project.
The total cost of the project is anticipated to be $310,800.00 and includes a contingency in the amount of $21,694.50 for CI Contracting Inc. for change orders to be approved by the City Administrator.
CI Contracting Inc. received Human Rights approval on May 18, 2010, and complies with the living wage ordinance.
Funds for this project are included in the approved FY2010 Sanitary Sewer Capital Budget.
