IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,615,420.00 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BRIARWOOD ESTATES DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (DR0901) APPROVED Mr. Gregory VanNieuwenhuize, Assistant Public Works Director, presented the item. Council is being asked to award a bid to RKM Utility Services, Inc. in the amount of $1,615,420.00 for the construction of the Briarwood Estates drainage improvements project. This project will consist of constructing a parallel storm drain system beginning at the intersection of Briarwood Drive and Noneman Street and then continuing south to tie in with the existing concrete -lined channel at the end of Hewitt Street. Approximately 4,800 linear feet of reinforced concrete storm drain ranging from 18 -inch diameter round pipe to 9X4 -foot box culverts will be installed, along with 35 new storm drain inlets. The project was set up with a Total Base Bid and five (5) Alternate Bids which were for additional drainage systems to augment the major upsizing that is the basis of this project. The design engineer recommends awarding the contract to the lowest bidder, RKM Utility Services, Inc for the base bid only. There is sufficient funding between the current Capital Projects Budget and next fiscal year's Capital Projects Budget to adequately fund the construction of the base bid portion of this project. While there is not adequate funding to finance the project's alternates, staff is recommending Council approve the following actions in an effort to have these alternates constructed: 1. RKM has committed to holding their bid prices of the alternates for six (6) months. After this time period, if the City requested this work to be done (via a change order), RKM would only request a price increase if the cost of materials had increased. City Council Minutes August 23, 2010 Page 9 2. Staff will monitor future upcoming drainage projects to determine if it would be appropriate to include any of these alternates as alternates onto such future drainage projects.
