Adopt Resolution #24-113 Accepting Proposals and Awarding Televising Contract for Improvement Project #24-05, MSA Xkimo Street Reconstruction and Improvement Project #24-07, 2024 Neighborhood Pavement Overlay Improvements

Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #24-113 accepting proposals and awarding televising contract for Improvement Project #24-05, MSA Xkimo Street Reconstruction and Improvement Project #24-07, 2024 Neighborhood Pavement Overlay Improvements.
 
Background:
Testing of existing municipal utilities, which includes sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and watermain, is standard practice when designing street reconstruction projects. Newly paved streets in Ramsey are anticipated to have a 60-year life span, assuming proactive maintenance. Identifying damaged or failing municipal utilities under streets before they are reconstructed allows the required repair or replacement work to be completed as part of the street reconstruction project before the new pavement is placed, preventing costly pavement repairs after the fact.
 
Utilities testing consists of first cleaning the pipe with a water jetter, then using a camera to televise the inside of the sewer pipes (sanitary and storm). Sound enhancement equipment is used to listen for leaks in watermain between hydrants and valves. Staff does not have the equipment needed to complete this work in-house, Public Works Staff does not have the staff hours to clean the sewer pipes in advance of being televised.
 
Pipe Televising Proposals – Sanitary and Storm Sewer
Televising sewer pipes informs Staff of the conditions of the pipes, and locates existing damage, if present. This allows Staff to include the required repair or replacement work for any damaged pipes into the street reconstruction plans, which is more cost effective than doing repairs as standalone projects, or as change orders during the reconstruction project.
 
Staff requested proposals for additional televising necessary due to the addition of cul-de-sacs adjacent to Xkimo Street, not included in the initial televising area. Additionally, proposals for televising the storm sewer pipe under Bowers Drive. This is due to the addition of storm sewer improvements as part of the Bowers Drive overlay improvements. Proposals for each project were received from two (2) of the contractors, which are tabulated below.
