PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The City Council will consider awarding a construction contract to COP Construction LLC in the amount of $1,509,574.50 for the W.O. 15-01, Schedule 2, Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement Projects. The projects are located in two areas of Billings. Zone A work is located in the Rose Park Elementary School area in the alley north of Avenue D between 17th and 21st Street West. Almost 2,600 linear feet of sewer will be replaced in Zone A. Zone B work is located in the vicinity of North Park between N 12th and N 24th Street from 6th Avenue North towards the BBWA Canal. More than 6,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer will be replaced in Zone B. A trenchless pipe replacement bid alternate was evaluated and selected for portions of the project work, saving more than $70,000 versus strictly open cut replacement methods.
After being advertised in the Billings Times and on the City website March 26, April 2 and April 9, the project was bid on April 14. Staff recommends that Schedule 2 of W.O. 15-01 be awarded to COP Construction in the amount of $1,509,574.50.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve the construction contract with COP Construction in the amount of $1,509,574.50, or;
- Do not approve the construction contract. If the project is not constructed, the City's sanitary sewer collection system in this area will continue to deteriorate, resulting in increased maintenance costs and property damage liability potential.
