From: Patrick Jentz, PE Engineer 2
Re: 2nd Ave W Water Main Replacement Project
Meeting Date: March 15, 2021
BACKGROUND: 2nd Ave W Water Main Replacement Project is located in the central area of
town and replaces over two blocks of 1920 era water main sections and appurtenances. This
replacement and rehabilitation project was identified as part of the 2018 Water Facility Plan -
Risk Assessment due to the high likelihood/high consequence factors for a main break.
The project includes furnishing labor, materials, and equipment required to replace an existing fl-
inch cast iron water main with approximately 807 linear feet of 8-inch PVC water main. Also
included in the project are water valves, fire hydrants, water service connections, paved surface,
sidewalk and landscape restoration. Additive Alternative 1 (AA I) was included to complete the
replacement of the old cast iron water main and extends construction across Center Street into
the Center Mall approached area. AA includes approximately 115 linear feet of 8-inch PVC
water main as well as additional valves, fire hydrant and connections to the existing 1984 PVC
water main.
BIDDING RESULTS: Bids were received and opened on March 3, 2021 at 3:30 pm. Four
responsive bids were received and are summarized below.

$45,286.00
AGC Inc. was the low bid. References were checked and AGC Inc. was found to be a qualified
contractor that was good to work with on other projects.
FISCAL EFFECTS: FY 21 Water Fund allocation of $302,000 was budgeted to support the
construction of the 2nd Ave W Water Main Replacement Project. The budgeted amount was
established from winter/spring 2020 estimates and did not take into consideration the higher
construction costs due to the pandemic and increased construction demands in the valley. The
$115,788 cost difference between the project bid price and project budget will be supported by
reprioritizing the design and construction schedule for the Buffalo Hill Tower Flow Control
Upgrade Project. Preliminary engineering for the new upper zone elevated tank identified the
need to consider and incorporate flow control for the existing tower. As such, the design and
Page 1 of 2
construction for a flow control at the Buffalo Hill water tower will be incorporated into the 1 MG
Elevated Storage Tank and Well Project and will not be performed as anticipated in FY 21.
To summarize, the 2nd Ave W Water Main Replacement Project will be funded through the
following sources:
1. Water Operations Fund: "2nd Ave W Water Main Replacement Project" line item #
5210-447-430550-958 - $302,000.
2. Water Operations Fund: `Buffalo Hill Flow Control Upgrades" line item # 5210-447-
430550-937 - $140,000.
ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to award the Base Bid and Additive Alternate 1 for the 2nd
Ave W Water Main Replacement Project to AGC Inc.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
