G&A Directional Boring Inc. submitted the lowest bid in the <br />amount of $130,372. The potential for unforeseen challenges exists with re-routing the customer service lines to the <br />new meter locations in front of the properties; therefore, staff recommends a project contingency of 20%. <br />Project Benefits, Liabilities, and Operating Cost: <br />Benefits: <br />Elimination of the aging water main will reduce leaks, resulting in increased reliability of the water <br />system. The proposed project also provides increased water main size, attributing to increased fire flow <br />in the immediate area. Relocation to the front of the properties will aid in access for future meter and <br />water main maintenance. <br /> <br />Liabilities of Maintaining the Status Quo: <br />The occurrence of water main leaks will likely increase if work is deferred for an extended period of <br />time. <br /> <br />Operating Costs: <br />Operating costs will not be affected. <br />Action Required of City Council: <br />Consider approval or other action authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with G&A Directional <br />Boring Inc. for Bayshore Park Waterline Relocation in the amount of $130,372, plus a project contingency of <br />$26,075, for a total authorization of $156,447. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br /> <br />
