Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

Award Bid No. 1740, CIPP Project UT1705 – 2017 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project - to SAK Construction, LLC, in the amount of $1,282,512, and authorize the City Manager to execute the construction contract.

Executive Summary:

The 2017 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP) Project UT1705 will rehabilitate approximately 45,800 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe ranging in size between 8 inches and 24 inches in diameter. The CIPP method involves lining the inside of an older deteriorated sanitary sewer with minimal excavation. CIPP is a cost-effective method of pipe rehabilitation compared to other more invasive methods. As an example, the cost of 8-inch sewer main rehabilitation for this project is $22.95 per foot compared to open trench sewer replacement projects that have averaged more than $300 per foot for 8-inch sewer main.
