COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Rejecting Sole Bid for Wastewater Main Replacement
Program, Project No. 4, in the Vicinity of Kettleman Lane, Stockton Street,
Central Avenue, and Mission Street
MEETING DATE: December 5,2007
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution rejecting the sole bid for the Wastewater Main
Replacement Program, Project No. 4, in the vicinity of
Kettleman Lane, Stockton Street, Central Avenue and Mission Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Water and Wastewater Improvement Program is intended to
systematically replace and, where needed, upgrade existing water
and wastewater infrastructure. The older wastewater pipelines are
mostly constructed of terracotta or concrete pipe and the waterlines
are largely constructed of small diameter, cast iron or steel pipe. The majority of these pipes are in need
of rehabilitation and/or replacement. Project No. 4 is the fourth major project scheduled in the pipeline
portion of this program. This project area is bounded by Kettleman Lane, Stockton Street,
Central Avenue, and Mission Street, as shown on the attached map.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on September 5, 2007. The City received the
following single bid for this project on October 10, 2007.
Bidder Location Bid
Engineer's Estimate $458,067.00
J.F. Pacific Liners, Inc Vacaville $ 582,895.50
The one bid received is significantly higherthan anticipated, and staff feels itwould be more economical
to repackage this work with other projects to achieve an economy of scale associated with a larger
project. This type of rehabilitation work is done by relativelyfew specialized contractors and mobilization
costs can be significant.
FISCAL IMPACT: Completing this project will reduce future maintenance costs and increase
the performance and reliability of the wastewater system.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: When this work is included with other projects, funding will come from the
