AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Accepting Cable Rejuvenation under Contractwith Novinium, Inc.
for Royal Crest Subdivision (EUD)
MEETING DATE: November 18,2009
PREPARED BY: Interim Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Adopt a resolution accepting Cable Rejuvenation under contract with
Novinium, Inc. for the Royal Crest Subdivision.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Cable Rejuvenation Project was awarded to Novinium, Inc. of Kent,
WA 98032 on May 18, 2009 in the amount of $101,972.00. The contract
has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by the City Council.
The project provided rejuvenation of 9700 feet of direct buried underground cables with silicon insulation fluid in the
Royal Crest Subdivision. Rejuvenation of direct buried underground cables costs about 30 percentto 40 percent of
the replacementcost of underground cables, because it excludes digging, conduit laying, and back -fill. It also
minimizes the outage time during the project implementation period.
The final contract price was $80,228.87. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is
due to change orders reducing the original contract in the total amount of $21,743.13, because part of the
contracted cables cannot be rejuvenated, and will be replaced in house by Electric Utility Department staff.
Following acceptance by the City Council, a Notice of Completion will be filed with the County Recorder's Office.
FISCAL IMPACT.: Minimizes frequency of outages and increases reliability of the underground cables
in the subdivision, and ultimatelythe whole system.
