Title
Award of the Utility Portion of Bid No. IFB22-59 for the Purpose of the Canyon Road Roadway and Utility Upgrades Project
Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities approve the Utilities Portion of Bid No. 22-59 for the Purpose of Canyon Road Roadway and Utility Upgrades Project with TLC Plumbing and Heating in the Amount of $768,633.00, plus Applicable Gross Receipts Tax, and a contingency in the amount of $115,300.71, for a total project budget of $940,140.00, and forward to Council for Approval.
Utilities Manager Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve as presented.
Body
The project is a joint roadway and utilities project which will re-pave Canyon Road from Diamond Drive to Oppenheimer Drive. A total of 1,100 feet of 1950's waterline will be replaced, three electric conduit crossings will be installed and 700 feet of sewer mains below and adjacent to the road will be replaced. The waterlines are cast iron with lead joints which are vulnerable to the vibratory road compaction associated with the new road construction and are at the end of their service life. The sewers were video inspected and found to be cracked, have offset joints and severe root intrusion. These vitrified clay sewer lines will be replaced with new PVC pipes. New electric PVC conduit crossings will be installed in preparation for upcoming upgrades to the electric system in the area. TLC Plumbing and Heating was the only bidder on the project. These utility upgrades in Canyon Road are the planned Council profit share improvements for fiscal year 2022.
Alternatives
If the project is not approved the project will not be awarded. The project will be bid next year since there is not enough time re-bid this year and complete the work before winter.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
The project will be budgeted from approved capital funds and profit share funds as shown below.
Wastewater $470,070 - FY 2022 CIP $91,229.05 Canyon Road; FY 2022 Profit Share $378,840.95

Water Distribution $394,858.80 - FY 2022 Profit Share
Note that the FY2022 profit share provided by Council to DPU was $848,910.95
