SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation

Award a construction services contract for Arizona Avenue Waterline Replacement from 17th Street to 24th Street to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of $1,760,000.00 to DPE Construction, Yuma, Arizona. (Engineering-RFB-25-252) (David Wostenberg/Robin R. Wilson)

 

end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Awarding this contract meets the desired outcome of Respected and Responsible by replacing the existing deteriorating concrete waterline on Arizona Avenue and replacing it with C900 Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe to provide a lasting means of moving City water through the system, increased corrosion resistance, and pressure resistance.

 

REPORT:

The existing water distribution infrastructure on Arizona Avenue from 17th Street to 24th Street is in decline due to pipe corrosion and inadequate depth, which fails to provide sufficient water supply and reliability to the surrounding community. This decaying infrastructure has resulted in several water line breaks and leaks, causing inconvenience due to low water pressure and ongoing repairs while stifling future development efforts.

 

This project will replace the 24-inch concrete pipe with C900 PVC pipe and abandon the two undersized existing ductile pipes while installing two new appropriately sized 6-inch and 4-inch C900 PVC. The project will improve water pressure, enhance fire suppression services, and support future development efforts in the area.

 

Bids were received from the following two general contractors:

 

DPE Construction, Inc.                  $1,760,000.00

Gutierrez Canales Engineering        $1,782,642.91

 

This project is anticipated to begin on June 2, 2025, and be completed in 120 days.
