The Utilities Division of the Department of Public Works & Utilities performs ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation of sanitary sewer infrastructure to ensure reliability, reduce inflow and infiltration, and maintain regulatory compliance. The Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Project for FY26 includes the rehabilitation of 21 aging sanitary sewer manholes located throughout the City. The project will improve hydraulic performance and extend the useful life of the sewer manholes.
The project was advertised through a formal Request for Quote (RFQ 26-049) on OpenGov platform and the City received a quote from one bidder, H&R Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Inc., in the amount of $169,000. Staff recommends awarding the contract to H&R Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $169,000, and approving $16,900 in Administrative Construction Contingency (change orders) for a total contract amount of $185,900.
The adopted FY27 CIP currently has $102,355 allocated for the Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Project, Project No. 07693. Staff is requesting an additional $108,545 in appropriations from the Sewer Replacement Fund (Fund 611) to cover the additional cost using available fund balance in the Sewer Replacement Fund for a total project budget of $210,900. In addition to the contract cost, this budget includes other project costs such as construction management, permitting, inspection, and administration.
