Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a construction contract with McKinney Construction for the 2019 Waterline Replacement Project - Glen Cove (WT1904A) in an amount not to exceed $1,208,835 and authorizing a work change directive budget of $120,884 for a total construction budget of $1,329,719 (Director of Budget and Project Management)
Background:
If approved, this item will authorize a construction contract with McKinney Construction for the 2019 Waterline Replacement Project - Glen Cove (WT1904A).
This project is part of the annual program to systematically replace aged water lines throughout the city. The program evaluates, and strategically replaces water distribution lines to increase water service quality and fire protection. The areas highlighted for this year's project are Glen Cove, Bayou Brae and the remainder of Newport which were constructed in the 1960s to 1970s, with asbestos-cement water pipes. Asbestos-cement is a brittle material and pipes require regular repair and replacement during wet-dry periods due to subsurface soil movements.
In general, the project consists of the replacement and extension of approximately 16,000 linear feet of 6 to 8- inch water lines. The major portion of these water lines will be installed by auguring, with the existing service lines moved from the old water line and reconnected to the new water line. Twelve sealed bids for the project were received February 11, 2020 (Bid No. 19-CIP-009). McKinney Construction submitted the lowest, responsible, bid in the amount of $1,208,835 based on dollar amount and days to completion. Qualifications and past performance were also a consideration. Attached is the City' s engineering consultant's recommendation of award, along with the bid tabulation.
This project is anticipated to take 190 calendar days from the notice to proceed.
Construction of the Glen Cove waterlines were budgeted at $1.8 million.
