Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction - High Bluff from Stafford to
Fengler
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the award of the construction contract
for the Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction Project - High Bluff from Stafford to
Fengler.
BACKGROUND
The existing 6"-diameter sanitary sewer in this street is insufficient in size.
The sewer has been a source of periodic back-ups in the past several years.
The pipe is extremely flat with areas of settlement, and requires frequent
flushing by the sewer crews. The only solution to this problem is the
reconstruction of the sewer to a larger 8"-diameter pipe to achieve the
required capacity, given the flat slope of the sewer.
The project provides for the construction of approximately 1,650 feet of
sanitary sewer located in the street.

Sealed bids were received for the project on August 14, 2001. The results of
the bidding process are as follows:
Drew Cook & Sons Excavating, Inc.

project is October 26, 2001.
