Meeting Date: 08/11/2014 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Consider Adoption of Resolution #14-08-159 Accepting Quotes and Awarding a Contract for Improvement Project #14-29; Alpine Drive Watermain Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose The purpose of this case is to accept quotes and award a contract for Improvement Project 14-29, Alpine Drive Watermain Improvements. This improvement project will allow the City to most cost-effectively construct a looped watermain connection between the existing trunk watermain stub under Alpine Drive, west of Kryton Street, to the existing trunk watermain under Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 by coordinating the work with improvements to be completed by Anoka County at the intersection of Alpine Drive and Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 in the fall of 2014. Background On January 28, 2014 the City Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County for completing the Alpine Drive and Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 Intersection Improvements. At the time, staff discussed the benefits of constructing a looped watermain connection under Alpine Drive between Krypton Street and Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 in conjunction with the County led project since the intersection of Alpine Drive and CSAH 5 would be under construction, saving the City money by not needing to provide our own traffic control or paving the street when the work was complete. The City Council agreed and authorized staff to proceed with the preparing plans for this work. After preparing plans and specifications to connect the existing trunk watermain terminating west of Kryton Street under Alpine Drive to the exsting trunk watermain under Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5, staff submitted requests for quotes to three contractors for completing the proposed watermain improvements. Two quotes were received on July 29, 2014. Below is a tabulation of the quotes. CONTRACTOR QUOTE Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. $78,175.00 Reshetar Systems I $82,000.00 Engineer's Estimate I $66,000.00 The quotes include costs for installing 735 feet of 8 inch, class 52 ductile iron pipe watermain under 3 separate mobilizations due to the staging plans developed for the County led project.
