PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
W.O. 14-01, Schedule 1A, Storm Drain Project will install approximately 1,620 lineal feet of 18 to 30-inch diameter storm drain and make related improvements in Grand Avenue between 19th and 21st Street West.
After being advertised in the Billings Times and City website on May 22, May 29 and June 5, project bids for the Schedule 1A Water Main Replacement Project and Storm Drain Project in Grand Avenue were opened on June 10. City Council awarded the Water Main Replacement Project on June 23, but action on the Storm Drain Project was delayed until July 14 due to unavailability of storm drain funds until FY2015.
Staff recommends that the Schedule 1A Storm Drain Project be awarded to Western Municipal Construction in the amount of $1,057,570.00. This recommendation includes a $32,000.00 deduct for award of the Water Main Replacement Project and Storm Drain Project to a single contractor.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Award a construction contract for W.O. 14-01, Schedule 1A Storm Drain Project in the amount of $1,057,570.00; or
- Do not award a construction contract for this project. If this project is not constructed, the City's storm drain system in this area will continue to perform inadequately and experience maintenance problems; and, the City's planned overlay of this section of Grand Avenue will need to be delayed or completed without important infrastructure improvements.
