end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize the award of a construction services contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Taylor Engineering, for the Water Distribution Line, 5th Street, Gila Street to Redondo Project in the amount of $1,381,777.00. (Engineering - RFB-25-283) (David Wostenberg/Robin R. Wilson)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This motion supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous. The current 20-inch water main is insufficient for the current water demand and needs to be increased to support the system’s operation. Installing a 30-inch water line will ensure safe and reliable water distribution for the future.
REPORT:
The project involves the tie-in and installation of a 30-inch PVC water main along 5th Street, from Gila Street to Redondo Center Drive. The scope of work includes the removal of asphalt, asphalt paving, curb and gutter works, as well as the removal and installation of water mains of various diameters. Additionally, this project encompasses the installation of water main fittings and couplings, along with other necessary components required for successful completion.
Original budget of $400K was based on replacing the existing 20” with another 20”; however, it was later determined that the pipe size would need to be increased to 30” to better support and meet the current demands of the system. The Engineer’s Estimate prior to bid was $795K. The replacement of this water line involves jacking and boring under the UPRR and also under a high- pressure Kinder Morgan Gas Line, this resulted in the final bid for the project coming in substantially higher than the Engineer’s Estimate as both Kinder Morgan and UPRR have additional conditions and constraints when working around their facilities and they also have prior rights.
Six bids were received from the following general contractors:
Gutierrez Canales Engineering $1,862,415.37
Jud Co LLC $2,288,106.70
Mountain High Excavating, LLC $1,743,830.00
Taylor Engineering $1,381,777.00
Trico Construction, LLC $1,441,242.22
Yuma Valley Contractors Inc. $1,727,385.04
The project is anticipated to begin in late January and to be completed in 60 days.
