Summary:
Through this JPA, the County and the City mutually agree that it is economically beneficial to have the County’s contractor perform the City’s utility work as part of the construction of the overall project.
The primary work to be performed on behalf of the City is the replacement, relocation, and/or adjustment of a six inch (6”) water main and gravity sewer pipeline, as well as the installation of a sanitary sewer bypass that are in conflict with the replacement of existing cross drains.
The attached JPA also provides the funding mechanism for the City to pay the County in advance of the commencement of project construction activities, and further identifies both the County’s and the City’s responsibilities throughout the duration of the project.
Background Information:
The County will be improving, reconstructing and/or replacing existing cross drains on Lake Avenue, from Barry Avenue to Jeffords Street. County staff anticipates advertising for construction of this project in the summer of 2017, with construction duration anticipated for approximately six months following award of the contract.
This agreement will result in cost savings to both the County and City by reducing the costs for mobilization, maintenance of traffic, site restoration, and project administration since one contractor will be performing all the work at the same time.
Fiscal Impact:
This project is budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program, Stormwater Conveyance System Improvement Program, Physical Environment, Storm Sewer Rehab Projects. The City has verified that funding in the amount of $273,273.00 for the City’s portion of the utility work is available. The City’s preliminary estimated utility work is projected to cost $260,260.00, plus an additional five percent ($13,013.00) for County construction, contract administration, and compaction and backfill testing costs.
