Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Contractor with SKE Construction, LLC for the Kensington Place A/C Waterline Replacement Project.
Body
The City of Round Rock has a water main replacement program that targets water mains based on their age, history of leaks, breaks, and other problems. Replacing these aging water mains with modern materials ensures safe and reliable delivery of drinking water to the residents of Round Rock.
The City has elected to replace water mains using pre-chlorinated pipe bursting. This technique allows less impact to City customers by minimizing the amount of time that individual waterlines are out-of-service. To date, the City has completed eight projects which have replaced approximately 80,000 linear feet (L.F.) of existing water mains.
This proposed project will consist of replacing approximately 14,000 L.F. of six and eight-inch asbestos-cement (A/C) water mains with eight-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe in the Kensington Place subdivision. These mains installed in the 1970s have a history of breaks and are near the end of their estimated life expectancy. This project will complete the replacement of aging A/C waterlines east of South Mays and south of Gattis School Road.
The City is recommending a Buy Board contract with SKE Construction, LLC, for $1,672,874.73 for this project.
Cost: $1,672,874.73
