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 of three renewals to Westhill Construction Inc. for Utility Cut Repair Contract
2005 On July 26 2005 (M&C C-20877) the City Council authorized the first renewal of the original
contract.
As a result of several sizeable utility main breaks and repairs throughout the City (Miller Street, West
Cleburne Road Beach Sreet, Clear Lake Road Walton Avenue) the initial contract and first renewal funds
have been depleted therefore the Water Department wishes to exercise the second of three options at this
time as a means in keeping up with and ensuring the funding of the ongoing and future utility repairs.
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 Field 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 MMBE Policy by committing to 20% M/WBE
participation on this renewal option The City's goal for this project is 18%
This contract is located in All Council Districts.
