Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities approve Task Order No. 1 Under Services Agreement No. AGR16-055 with AUI Inc., in the amount of $498,088.00 and a contingency in the amount of $76,000.00, for a total of $574,088.00, plus applicable gross receipts tax, for the purpose of Wastewater Collection System's Trenchless Repair Replacement and Rehabilitation, and forward to Council for approval.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
This constitutes the first task order under the On-call Agreement executed earlier this calendar year with AUI, Inc., for the trenchless rehabilitation of sanitary sewers in the County. This first task order will include work on several segments of sanitary sewer in White Rock; more specifically, on Jemez, Cayenta and Mimbres roads. The sewer lines in this area have experienced a number of back-ups and blockages in recent years, despite of increased preventative maintenance efforts. Based on video inspection of the lines and assessment of the sewer collection system, the problem areas will be replaced with trenchless methods by this project.
Alternatives
Postponing the execution of these replacement items would allow for further deterioration of the sanitary sewers. The cost of repairs and rehabilitation would only increase in the future.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
$425,000 has been carried forward from FY2016 and $150,000 budgeted in FY2017. The total approved budget is $575,000. Project management and administration will be performed by DPU engineering staff.
