Agenda Item Brief: : Consideration and possible award of Plymouth and Zephyr Way Sewer Rehabilitation Project to Peavine Construction in the amount of $197,480. This project will rehabilitate 1,190 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipeline and associated service lateral connections within the backyards of homes located between Plymouth and Zephyr Way. Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) technology is proposed to limit homeowner impact. Staff recommends approval.

Background: As part of the sanitary sewer pipeline condition assessment program, performed by Sparks Community Services Maintenance staff, pipelines have been identified that require replacement or rehabilitation due to reaching useful life capacity or as a result of excessive maintenance issues. Some of the sanitary sewer pipelines, especially in the older urban core of the City, are located along rear lot lines instead of in the street as is commonly done today. This presents a unique challenge in both maintenance and ultimate rehabilitation/replacement, as oftentimes the pipeline has been covered with landscape, fences, and the occasional yard shed. Almost 10% of the sanitary sewer pipeline in the City of Sparks is located in backyards or alleys. $500,000 has been budgeted in the current (FY11/12) CIP under project 126615 for rehabilitation of backyard sewer pipelines. The pipeline located between Plymouth Way and Zephyr Way, bordered by Rock Boulevard to the west and 11th Street to the east, was chosen to be an initial pilot project to assist in obtaining cost data as well as evaluate rehabilitation methods. For this project, contractors were allowed to choose one of three methods of rehabilitation: Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP), Fold-and-Form pipe, and Pipe Bursting. The scope of the project also included replacement of the lateral tie-in’s and installation of a cleanout at the easement line (5’ from property line in this case). CIPP was chosen by all three contractors who submitted. The bids are summarized in the following table. Contractor Bid Amount SAK Construction $316,660 MKD Construction $250,000 Peavine Construction $197,480 As shown, Peavine Construction submitted the lowest bid.

Analysis: The bids have been reviewed by City Community Services staff for compliance with project conditions and regulations. Peavine Construction is a proven contractor with the City of Sparks, and is capable of performing this work.

Alternatives: 1. City Council could award the Project as outlined by Staff. 2. City Council could reject the Project and provide direction to the City Manager.

Recommended Motion: “I move to award the Plymouth and Zephyr Way Sewer Rehabilitation Project to Peavine Construction in the amount of $197,480.”
