This project will accomplish one part of the recommendations of the “Sewer Pre-Design” Study prepared by Parametrix and presented to the City Council at its December 8, 2015 meeting. (A hyperlink to the design study can be accessed at the bottom of the Agenda Bill for the December 8 meeting via the link above.) The technical study determined the constraints in the existing sewer system in the New Brooklyn Sewer Basin. The initial phase of relief for the basin is to transfer and attenuate the flows to a gravity system in New Brooklyn Road.

The ongoing project to reconstruct the fire station has created an urgency to complete the first piece of the gravity sewer as soon as possible to avoid disturbing any frontage improvements required to be installed by the fire station project.

The proposed project includes installation of a gravity sewer line and other related miscellaneous items, connection into the existing pump station at the corner of Madison/New Brooklyn Roads, and extending the gravity line across New Brooklyn Road into a new gravity manhole at Three Tree Lane. The project also includes installation of three sewer manholes, three cleanouts, two laterals, sidewalk and pavement repair, miscellaneous landscaping, and curb and gutters.

Bids were solicited through the Small Works Roster process and the apparent low bidder is Liden Land & Excavation Development in the amount of $145,310.63.

Staff has reviewed the bid documentation and contractor's qualifications and recommends that the City Council award this contract to the apparent low bidder, Liden Land & Excavation Development.
