Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to award and enter into a contract with Fonson Company, Inc., in the amount of $231,030.00, for the Rock Creek Sanitary Sewer Repair Project, ITB-4526.

This project involves the replacement of an existing 12-inch sanitary sewer that has partially collapsed. Due to the location of the collapse in relation to the house at 485 Rock Creek Drive, traditional open cut repair methods are not feasible. The partially collapsed pipe will be abandoned and a new section of sewer will be installed around the house.

While preparing this project for approval, the sewer fully collapsed on August 15, 2018, resulting in a complete backup. City staff responded and are coordinating emergency sewer work with Fonson Company while preparing to construct the replacement sewer included in the project bid documents.

In response to the Invitation to Bid (ITB-4526), four (4) bids were received on Wednesday, July 25, 2018. The lowest responsible bid was from Fonson Company, Inc. in the amount of $231,030.00. A summary of the bids is attached.

It is requested that the total $291,030.00 contract and contingency amount be approved for the life of the project without regard to fiscal year.
