Background Information:
On December 3, 2022 the Purchasing and Risk Management Division released an invitation to bid with three (3) vendors responding to the bid. Granite Inliner, LLC is recommended for award as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of $2,771,079.25.
Recent evaluations of the sanitary sewer pipes in the project areas have revealed structural defects and infiltration in the existing gravity mains. Gravity sewer mains collect sewage flow from residential and commercial properties and convey the flow to interceptors and treatment facilities. Interruption of flow to these pipes due to breaks would impact a number of sanitary sewer customers and cause significant environmental and/or health concerns if sewage is discharged from the piping system. Rehabilitation to the pipe system to address the recent evaluation findings is a fundamental investment in County infrastructure to continue to meet our service needs while maintaining first-class services to our community. As a result of the rehabilitation processes proposed in this project, it is anticipated that at least fifty (50) years of service life will be added to the rehabilitated pipes.
Fiscal Impact:
480-day expenditure not-to-exceed: $2,771,079.25
Funding is derived from the Sewer Renewal and Replacement Fund. This award is not consistent with the FY22 Approved CIP Budget. Additional funding may be required, or adjustments made within the program as part of the FY23 budget development process.
The increased cost is due to adding a significant number of assets for rehabilitation after further condition assessments during the design phase which revealed defects near one of the project locations.
