Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Danbert Inc. for the Shanley Drive Basin project, CIP #611726-100000, in an amount up to $298,555.10, and to establish an encumbrance to pay the Department of Public Service to administer prevailing wage services for the project in an amount of up to $2,000.00, for a total expenditure of $300,555.10.
This project consists of construction of a dry detention basin and associated minor storm sewer improvements. The area of Shanley Road, situated around 100 feet to the west of the Maize Road intersection, encounters flooding issues. This flooding has previously affected cars parked on the street, nearby residences, and even led to temporary road closures due to depth of ponding which could potentially hinder emergency vehicle access during frequent storm events. The intended project aims to enhance the overall quality of this area by addressing the problem of localized flooding and improving level of service.
The planning area is 35- Northland.
TIMELINE: Contract work is required to be completed in a manner acceptable to the City within 180 days from the date that a Notice to Proceed (NTP) is given by the City.
ESTIMATED COST OF PROJECT: The bid amount and proposed award amount is $298,555.10, including a 20% construction contingency amount that will be utilized to fund needed and approved changes in the work. No contract modifications are anticipated at this time; however, construction exigency might later compel modification of this contract, if unforeseen difficulties are encountered.
