Summary Recommendation

Authorize Yuma Mesa Irrigation & Drainage District (YMIDD) to execute a construction services contract for the “A” Canal - 7E and 40th Street project, in the amount of $2,839,213.05 to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder: Gutierrez Canales Engineering, PC.  Authorize payment to YMIDD to provide construction administration and inspection for construction of the “A” Canal - 7E and 40th Street project, in accordance with the executed intergovernmental agreement (IGA), in the amount of $270,283.76. (Engineering) (Dave Wostenberg)

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Approval of this item aligns with City Council’s Respected and Responsible strategic outcome as the construction of a new box culvert on the “A” Canal at the intersection of Avenue 7E and 40th Street, will facilitate the extension of Avenue 7E to 40th Street and the paving of 40th Street between Avenue 6 3/4E to Avenue 7 1/2E.  This item also aligns with City Council’s Safe and Prosperous strategic outcome as it will increase roadway capacity and alleviate traffic out of the foothills area, which also improves emergency service response time. 

 

REPORT:

City Council previously approved an intergovernmental agreement with YMIDD to construct a new culvert at the intersection of Avenue 7E and 40th Street.  The construction of the culvert is expected to occur from November 2023 to April 2024.

Three bids were received from the following general contractors:

     Gutierrez Canales Engineering           $2,457,125.05

     DPE Construction, Inc.                           $2,865,000.00

     Meridian Engineering Company             $3,246,235.00

The construction contract value of $2,839,213.05 includes a contingent bid item for bypass pumping, which was not included in the basis for evaluation of the bids when determining the lowest bidder.  The contractor will only be compensated for the contingent bid item for bypass pumping if this item is required due to unforeseen site conditions.

The “A” Canal is owned by Bureau of Reclamation and operated by YMIDD.  Similar to other franchise utilities, YMIDD requires that construction of facilities along the canal be managed and inspected by YMIDD staff.  Approval of this motion will allow the City to pay for construction costs of the new culvert, including all necessary construction management, material testing, and inspection of the construction.
