BACKGROUND <br />The subject project was authorized in the 2007/2008 Capital Improvement Program. <br />The project consists of replacing approximately 560 linear feet of failing water main <br />along Virgin Islands Court. It also involves the installation of a water main jumper on <br />Fair Oaks Court to improve water service pressure delivery and critical operational <br />control. <br />Bids <br />Sealed bids for this project were opened on August 7, 2008. There were a total of nine <br />(9) bids received with bid amounts ranging between $129,000 and $213,300 (see <br />Attachment 2). The engineer's estimate for this project is $150,000. <br />Staff reviewed the bid submitted by the apparent low bidder, D&D Pipelines, Inc., and <br />found it to be in order. Past work performed by D&D Pipelines, Inc. was also verified to <br />be satisfactory. Staff recommends award of the construction contract to the lowest <br />responsible bidder, D&D Pipelines Inc. <br />Budget <br />Project funding and estimated expenditures are presented in Attachment 3 to this <br />report. <br />Staff is recommending a 20% project contingency ($25,800) in order to accommodate <br />other necessary adjustments due to existing underground utilities that may conflict with <br />the water main installation and water main tie-ins. <br />Schedule <br />The proposed schedule for the subject project is as follows: <br />Approval of Plans & Specifications and Award of Contract: <br />Start of Construction: <br />End of Construction: <br />Submitted by: <br />f2.c r~..¢,~.. <br />Rob Wilson <br />Public Works Director <br />Fiscal Review: <br />~~~ <br />David P.
