Re: Highway 93 South Water and Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project Ward I
Engineering Contract Cliff Collins
Ward 1
This memo is to recommend the City Council award the engineering contract for the Norbert F. Donahue
Highway 93 South Water and Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project to the joint Ward II
venture of Forsgren Associates and Carver Engineering. Dale Haarr
Ward II
We initially budgeted $100,000 for a scope of work to include design for the
Jim Atkinson
following:
Ward III
• water and sanitary sewer main extensions in Highway 93 from Ranch and Home
Lauren Granmo
Supply to Four Corners,
Ward III
• a sanitary sewer main extension from Kelly Road across Highway 93 to the east
Pamela B. Kennedy
edge of the Airport runway and
Ward IV
• a water main extension/replacement in Highway 93 from 1st Avenue East to
M. Duane Larson
approximately 9th Street and west in loth Street to 1st Avenue East.
Ward IV
The scope of work evolved during contract negotiations to include all of the above
plus design for the following:
An additional 1400 feet of cast iron water main will be replaced in Highway 93
between the Armory well and 1st Avenue East. Given that this 35 year old main
would be under the widened highway, we intend to have a new PVC main
installed behind the curb.
• Five existing water and sanitary sewer main crossings will be replaced at 1 lth,
13th and 18th Streets and at 1 st Avenue East.
• MDT's design for storm sewer improvements will be expanded to provide
additional capacity for properties along the new highway.
We have negotiated a fee of $121,000 for the total design package. We believe the
extra amount should be covered by an appropriation of $21,000 from the Storm
Sewer Fund, which has a current a balance of $417,000.
Design work will proceed immediately. The schedule calls for plans to be completed
by the end of June. Construction should begin in the summer of 1999. Construction
Management services have not been negotiated as part of this design contract.
However, hourly rates for Construction Management services are defined in this
contract. A "cost not to exceed" addendum will be negotiated after the construction
contract award.
