SUBJECT;
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance and Authorize Third Renewal of Contract with Westhill Construction,
Inc., for Utility Cut Repair Contract 2005
~,
RECOMIUII=NDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize a transfer from the Water and Sewer Operating Fund to the Water Capital Projects Fund in
the amount of $430,000.00;
2. Adapt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $430,000; and
3. Authorize the City Manager fn execute the third renewal of a contract with Westhill Construction, Inc., in
the amount of $400,000.00 and a contract period of 300 and 365 calendar days for Utility Cut Repair
Contract 2005 revising the total contract to $1,600,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
On April 19, 2005, (M&C C-20662} the City Council authorized the award of a contract in the amount of
$400,000.00, with the option for three renewals to Westhill Construction, Inc., for Utility Cut Repair Contract
2005.
As a result of several sizeable utility main breaks and repairs throughout the City (Miller Street, West
Cleburne Road., Beach Street, Clear I-ake Road., Walton Avenue}, the initial contract funds were quickly
depleted; therefore, the Water Department exercised two of the three renewal options. On July 26, 2005,
(MB~C C-20877) the City Counci! authorized the first renewal in the amount of $400,000 and on August 9,
2005, (M&C C-20900} the City Council authorized the second renewal in the amount of $400,000.
At this time, it is necessary to appropriate funds for the third renewal option of the contract in the amount of
$400,000, in order to provide the funds needed for future anticipated work. In addition $30,000 will be
needed far engineering design and inspection services.
The work to be performed under this contract consists of utility cut street repairs, which are necessary after
main replacements and repairs are made by the Water Department's f=ield Operations crews. The Water
Department is not staffed or equipped to deal with some of the larger repairs. This contract is necessary to
maintain a reasonable repair schedule, minimize disruption to the motoring public and ensure the street
repairs do not adversely impact the life of the remaining street.
Westhill Construction, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Policy by committing to 20% MNVBE
participation for each renewal. The City's goal for each option of this project is 18%.
