Agenda Item Brief: Consideration and possible award of Steneri/Snider Storm Drain Lift Station Project to Peavine Construction in the amount of $822,685. This project will install a pump station in an area of the Sparks Industrial zone which has historically been impacted by minor rain storms and flood events due to its low-lying topography. Staff recommends approval.

Background: As a part of the City’s Stormwater Basin Master Plan (Atkins, 2011), the area of the Steneri Way and Snider Way intersection was identified as being impacted by localized flooding during minor storm events. The topography of the area is such that Glendale Avenue to the north, McCarran Boulevard to the east, and Greg Street to the south are all generally higher, resulting in a “bathtub” effect at this specific area. The recommended mitigation is to install a storm drain lift station with detention storage and to disconnect the current gravity drainage system tie to the Glendale storm drain system. Doing this reduces the inflow to the Glendale drainage conveyance system (by reducing peak discharge through the use of detention) and also reduces the potential for backflow flooding (by disconnecting the shallow gravity drainage system). The project will install a 5 cubic feet per second (peak) storm drain pump station with an 8,000 gallon stormwater interceptor vault, 400 feet of 6’x5’ reinforced concrete box detention culvert, 450 feet of 8” discharge piping, other drainage improvements, and roadway paving replacement. The engineer’s estimate for the improvements is $769,619.

Analysis: The project advertised in the Reno Gazette Journal on February 29, 2012 and copies were distributed to local plan rooms. Three addenda were issued during the bid. Five bids were opened at city hall on March 27, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. Bid results ranged in cost from $822,685 to $1,083,980. Below is a recap of the bids: •Peavine Construction $822,685.00 •A&K Earthmovers $916,000.00 •Gerhardt & Berry $944,011.95 •Sierra Nevada Construction $994,007.00 •Q&D Construction $1083,980.00

Alternatives: 1.City Council could award the Steneri/Snider Storm Drain Lift Station Project as outlined by Staff. 2.City Council could reject the Steneri/Snider Storm Drain Lift Station Project and provide direction to the City Manager.

Recommended Motion: I move to award the Steneri/Snider Storm Drain Lift Station Project, Bid Number 11/12-021, PWP WA-2012-158 to Peavine Construction in the amount of $822,685.00.
