Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Contractor with SKE Construction, LLC for the South Creek A/C Waterline Rehabilitation 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 time individual waterlines are out-of-service. To date, the City has completed eight projects which have replaced approximately 94,000 linear feet (L.F.) of existing water mains.
This proposed project will consist of replacing approximately 14,500 L.F. of 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch asbestos-cement (A/C) water mains with same size high-density polyethylene pipe in the South Creek subdivisions. These mains installed in the 1970s have a history of breaks and are near the end of their estimated life expectancy.
The Utility Staff is requesting a Purchase Order in the amount of $1,697,337.50 for a Buy Board contract with SKE Construction, LLC for the construction. SKE has completed several A/C waterline replacement projects for the City over the past several years.
Cost: $1,697,337.50
