Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Construction Agreement with Achen-Gardner Construction, L.L.C., in an amount not to exceed $990,990 for the 47th Avenue Storm Drain project.
Background
The proposed new storm drain lateral in 47th Avenue is based on the recommendation made in the 47th Avenue and State Avenue Drainage Study report (dated June 23, 2015) prepared by Gavan & Barker, Inc. The purpose of the study was to identify the cause and extent of the flooding problem at the intersection of 47th and State Avenues. The study stated that the flood prone intersection of 47th and State Avenues is the concentration point of a 90 acre drainage area.
The construction of a new 42" storm drain addresses the flooding problem at the intersection of 47th and State Avenues. The new 42" storm drain will be installed in 47th Avenue starting at an existing 42" storm drain just north of Glendale Avenue and extending to just north of Orangewood Avenue. Additionally the project includes the construction of new drainage structures, including new catch basins upstream of Glendale Avenue to reduce the surface runoff that is discharged to Glendale Avenue.
Analysis
The Engineering Division published a Notice to Contractors requesting bids for the 47th Avenue Storm Drain project (project number 151624) on October 6, and 13, 2016. On November 16, 2016, eleven bids were received, with Achen-Gardner Construction, L.L.C., submitting the lowest responsive and responsible bid in the amount of $990,990. Staff anticipates issuing a Notice to Proceed late January 2017, with construction beginning February 2017.
