Title
Staff Report for a Resolution to Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Non-Professional Services Agreement with RTC Construction Management, Inc., for $91,818.00 for the Water Pollution Control Plant Pipe Removal and Relocation Project
Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
There are four locations within the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) that require modification or replacement of existing pipes. This project will:
* replace a failed drain line for the sludge thickening process;
* replace an above-ground sludge transfer line that was installed decades ago and was originally intended as a temporary fix, and
* in two locations, relocate several sections of existing above-ground piping to below grade in preparation for the proposed asphalt pavement replacement project at the WPCP.
The above project was competitively bid, with the low bid submitted by RTC Construction Management, Inc. in the amount of $91,818.00.
Staff recommends City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve a Non-Professional Services Agreement with RTC Construction Management Inc. for $91,818.00 for the WPCP pipe removal and relocation project.

It was determined that a temporary fix would suffice until a separate project to replace this line could be performed; this project will replace that now-failed temporary line.
Decades ago, a below-ground sludge transfer line failed in the WPCP, and a temporary above-ground line was installed to replace it. The temporary line is well beyond its useful life and is located in an inconvenient location. This project will replace and relocate this temporary line to below grade.
In two locations, there are existing pipes that extend above ground intruding into space that is used for vehicle access in the WPCP. Because there ...
