INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
Broadway Sanitary Improvements Project.
BACKGROUND
This project provided for the installation of approximately 300 feet of 8-inch diameter
sewer along Broadway Street, from Putnam Street to W. 28th Street. On multiple
occasions, the existing sewer system has surcharged so that wastewater has back
flowed into basements. The sewer is proposed to be redirected so that flows are
conveyed with a greater capacity to mitigate the recurring backups. During design, staff
identified several deficiencies with the roadway, sidewalk, curb and gutter, which will
also be addressed within the project limits.
DISCUSSION
Broadway Sanitary Improvements Project was completed by Tschiggfrie Excavating in
the final contract amount of $214,911.34. A 19.41 % decrease to the original contract
amount of $266,668.30 which was due to reduction to quantities of materials under the
contract unit prices needed to complete the project through coordination of work with
Engineering and Public Works staff.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the payment
of the final contract amount of $214,911.34 to Tschiggfrie Excavating for the Broadway
Sanitary Improvements Project.
