1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with The Righter Company for the North West Alum Creek Sanitary Renovations Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This project was a result of a consent order project as contained in the Wet Weather Management Plan. Work to be completed by this contract consists of the replacement of approximately 24' of 12-inch diameter, 18' of 15-inch diameter and 42' of 20-inch diameter sanitary relief sewer, installation of 1 new manhole, reconstruction of 7 manholes, replacement of 4 flap gates and such other work as may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans and specifications. The work under this contract shall be completed in a manner acceptable to the City within 90 calendar days after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.
The contract was advertised in the City Bulletin; seven bids were received, and opened on March 25, 2009 as follows:
