e . REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM ================================================================= Agenda Date Requested: October 12. 1992 Requested By: Charles R. Harrinaton~Department: Plannina Report Resolution x Ordinance Exhibits: 1. Map of Project 2. Memo on Project 3 . Ordinance ================================================================= SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Baokaround In 1991, the City appropriated $120,094.00 for sanitary sewer improvements to serve several areas within the corporate limits that were without service. The project has been designed and bid twice for construction. The first bid was rejected as there was only one bid received. The project was rebid on August 18, 1992, and a total of three bids were received. The bids are as follows: 1. 2. 3. Pas-Key Construction MEB Engineering T & R utilities $ 144,775.18 $ 180,597.00 $ 187,415.00 As these bids exceeded the original amount budgeted, staff reviewed the project for possible ways to cut the project down. We found, however, that to do so would lessen the intent of the project. As there are monies in the utility Fund Contingency Account, Staff feels that a transfer in the amount of $39,158.70 to cover the cost of the low bid amount plus a ten percent contingency would be the most viable option. Reoommendation Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Pas-Key Construction Services, Inc. in the amount of $144,775.18 for the construction of sanitary sewer improvements. Staff also recommends the transfer of $39,158.70 from the utility Fund contingency Account to cover the cost of the project plus a ten percent (10%) contingency or a total amount for the project of $159,252.70. Action Required by Council: 1. Pass an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Pas-Key Construction Services, Inc. in the amount of $144,775.18. 2. Authorize the transfer of $39,158.70 from the utility Fund Contingency Account. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Availability of Funds: x General Fund Capital Improvements Other x Water/Wastewater General Revenue Sharing Account No.: Fund 003 Funds Available: -X- Yes No ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Approved for City Council Agenda Q~T,~ Robert T.
