Date:9/27/2022

OBJECTIVE

To recommend that the City Council award a contract to Stephen Doreck Equipment Rentals Inc., for construction of Project No. CP1286000 – Orangewood Avenue – Dale Street Water Improvements Project.

BACKGROUND

The City’s 2020 Water Master Plan Update has identified 228 miles of AC pipeline installed in the 1950's to be replaced under the Water Main Replacement Program, as these pipes are nearing the end of their design useful life.  At the same time, the Master Plan recommends that the City target smaller diameter mains in its replacement program and prioritize areas with lowest fire flow availability.

 

In considering the above criteria, the Orangewood Avenue – Dale Street Water Improvements Project area was selected. The project consists of constructing new 8 and 12-inch water mains and abandoning existing undersized 6-inch AC water mains in the unincorporated area of Orange County. The entire project consists of approximately 6,100 linear feet of 8-inch pipe and 1,700 linear feet of 12-inch pipe including fittings and appurtenances, trenching, shoring, backfilling, compaction, asphalt repair & replacement, street replacement and pipe disinfection and testing. It also includes the construction of approximately 13 hydrant assemblies, 169 water service connections and five (5) connections to existing water mains.

DISCUSSION

Eleven (11) bids were received and opened by the City Clerk’s Office on August 29, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. (see Bid Summary Sheet).  The lowest responsive bidder is Stephen Doreck Equipment Rentals Inc., with a total bid of $2,719,470.  The licenses and references of the contractor have been reviewed and verified by staff, and all other documentation is in order.  The anticipated contract schedule is as follows:

 

          Award contract                   September 27, 2022

          Begin construction              October 31, 2022

          Complete construction         July 24, 2023

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund.  This project is included in the 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Budget, and will be financed with Water Funds, in the amount of $2,719,470.
