Summary:Summary
The purpose of this project is to replace approximately 3,800 linear feet of an existing 20-inch diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) force main with new 20-inch diameter PVC force main pipe on Duhme Road from the intersection of American Legions Drive and Duhme Road to 53rd Avenue North, and all related appurtenances to complete the project.
Body
Background Information:
The Purchasing Division issued an invitation to bid on September 25, 2025, on behalf of the Utilities Department. Three submittals were received with an award recommendation to Accurate Drilling System, Inc., as the lowest responsive responsible bidder.
This is part of an ongoing program to replace all remaining concrete force mains through the County's sewer system to PVC. Other segments of the prestressed concrete pipe have failed twice in other areas, resulting in significant sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). The County’s goal is to replace all other existing segments of prestressed concrete pipe with PVC pipe along this entire force main.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this agreement is available under Duhme Road 20-inch Concrete Force Main Replacement from American Legion Drive to 53rd Avenue project 005584C, included in the FY26-FY31 Capital Improvement Program, funded by the Sewer Renewal and Replacement Fund in the amount of $4,470,000.00.
