W.O. 13-01, Schedules 2 and 3, Water and Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement Projects will replace water and sanitary sewer mains and related improvements.  Schedule 2 work is located at Broadwater Avenue between 16th and 24th Street West and consists of approximately 3,300 feet of 8 and 12-inch water main replacement and approximately 6,300 feet of 8, 10, 15 and 24-inch sanitary sewer main replacement.  Schedule 3 work is located in the area along and to the west of Pioneer Park and consists of approximately 5,000 feet of sanitary sewer main replacement.

The 2013 Water and Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement projects were bid on April 23, 2013.  Staff recommends that Schedule 2 be awarded to COP Construction in the amount of $2,761,659.00.  Staff recommends that Schedule 3 also be awarded to COP Construction in the amount of $798,780.00.

The Council May:

• Award a construction contract for W.O. 13-01, Schedule 2 in the amount of $2,761,659.00 and for Schedule 3 in the amount of $798,780.00; or
• Do not award a construction contract for W.O. 13-01, Schedules 2 and 3.  If these projects are not constructed, the City's water distribution and sanitary sewer collection systems in these areas will continue to experience ongoing maintenance problems.
