ITEM: 12.5 ADMINISTRATION - Jean M. Keely, City Engineer
Title
ACCEPT BID FROM INSITUFORM TECHNOLOGIES USA, LLC IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,729,222.92 FOR THE 2013 SANITARY SEWER CURED-IN-PLACE LINING PROJECT
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 13-05
Background
This project continues the lining of the City's larger trunk sanitary sewer mains. Since these mains take longer to do the lining work and thus cause residents to be without sanitary facilities for an extended time period, the bids include vouchers for meals and hotel accommodations for the affected residents. Bids were received at 10:00 AM, April 18, 2013, for Project No. 13-05 and included two alternates. The alternates were based on two additional areas and pipe sizes. A total of five bids were received ranging from $1,729,222.92 to $2,868,275.75 (totals include both alternates). The Engineer's estimate for construction and three lowest bidders are as follows:
Engineer's Estimate - Construction Cost |
$2,245,838.00 |
Insituform Technologies USA, LLC |
$1,729,222.92 |
Lametti & Sons, Inc. |
$1,963,914.00 |
Visu-Sewer, Inc. |
$2,123,891.00 |
Bids have been checked and tabulated, and it has been determined that Insituform Technologies USA, LLC of Chesterfield, Missouri is the lowest bidder. The Engineering Department has worked with Insituform Technologies USA, LLC on previous contracts through their branch office in White Bear Lake MN. I recommend the low bid be accepted and a contract entered into with Insituform Technologies USA, LLC and that the contract include both alternates.
City Council is also asked to approve a 10% contingency to bring the total project budget to $1,902,145.21. The funding source for this project is the Sanitary Sewer Fund and there are sufficient funds to cover these costs.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the resolution.
