Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Murphy Pipeline for the A/C Waterline Replacement - Phase 4 Eagles Nest Subdivision Project.
Body
Based on the history of asbestos-cement (A/C) waterline main breaks that have occurred within the City, Staff has identified these areas and developed a program to replace these water mains. Beginning in 2007, the City awarded construction contracts to replace existing A/C waterlines in these problem areas by means of pre-chlorinated pipe bursting. This technique allows less impact to City customers by allowing the waterlines to be out of service for a short period of time. To date, there have been five projects that have been completed replacing approximately 50,000 Linear Feet (L.F.) of existing A/C with High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.
This project will replace approximately 9,932 L.F. of 8-inch A/C waterlines with new HDPE waterlines in the Eagles Nest Subdivision. On April 30, 2015, the City received bids from three contractors, ranging from $1,029,525 to $1,514,137 with Murphy Pipelines, Inc. submitting the lowest bid. The engineer's construction estimate for this project was $1.2 Million.
Cost: $1,029,525.00
Source of Funds: Self-Financed Water Construction
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
