SUMMARY
The Utilities Division of the Public Works & Utilities Department is responsible for maintaining approximately 325 miles of sewer mains within the City's sanitary sewer system. As part of this effort, this project will rehabilitate approximately 700 linear feet of 33-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) sewer main on Hesperian Boulevard using the trenchless cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method to address structural deficiencies and extend the service life of the sewer.
On April 21, 2026, three (3) bids were received on BidNet Direct for the Hesperian Sewer Rehabilitation Project ranging from $720,000 to $1,115,300. Andes submitted the low bid of $720,000, which is approximately 20% below the Engineer's Estimate of $905,000. Staff have reviewed the bids, and have determined the low bidder, Andes, to be responsive and qualified to perform this work. Staff recommend awarding the construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Andes, in an amount not-to-exceed $792,000, including potential Administrative Change Orders.
This project is categorically exempt from environmental review from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301, Class 1 - Existing Facilities.
