SUBJECT: 2nd Alley WN Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project
MEETING: April 18, 2016
BACKGROUND:
The 2nd Alley WN Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project is a planned Capital Improvement
Project which will replace approximately 1,500 linear feet of 8 inch and 10 inch vitrified clay
pipe (VCP) sewer main with 10 inch SDR 35 PVC main. The project replaces 4 blocks of sewer
begining at Montana Street, crossing Idaho Street (Hwy 2), through Washington and Oregon
Streets, and terminating at California Street.
Currently, the northern (upstream) block of the project is 10 inch VCP which flows into the
southern (downstream) 3 blocks of undersized 8 inch VCP which does not have adequate
capacity. In addition to the capacity problems in the undersized sections, the existing mains are
also subject to extensive tree root intrusion which further reduces pipe capacities. This project
will correct the current deficiencies in the main and replace existing services to the alley right-of-
way line. The project also crosses Hwy 2, requiring a jack and bore casing installation through
the highway right-of-way.
Bids were received and opened on April 7, 2016 at 2:30 PM. Three responsive bids were
received fiom local contractors.
The bid results follow:
Contractor Total Bid Price
Sandry Construction Co., Inc $683,138.00
LHC, Inc. $744,817.31
Downing Underground, Inc. $968,538.00
Engineer's Estimate $705,076.00
References for Sandry Construction were contacted and interviewed. Sandry was determined to
be a responsible contractor successfully completing projects of similar size and scope in
Northwest Montana.
