SUBJECT: Lowell Street (Abbott to Woodworth)
Water Main, Sanitary & Storm Sewer Improvements Project 2015
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution is in reference to the public hearing for the Lowell Street (Abbott
to Woodworth) Water Main, Sanitary & Storm Sewer Improvements Project 2015.
BACKGROUND
The water main on Lowell Street between Woodworth and Abbott Streets has
experienced a number of breaks leading to private property damage; undermining of road
base materials; and causing sanitary sewer flooding and overflows leading to claims
against the City. The most recent main break on February 27, 2015 caused debris to
enter the sanitary sewer system causing a sanitary sewer overflow in the 2400 block of
Hempstead Street.
The sanitary sewer portion of the project was originally scheduled for CIPP lining
rehabilitation in FY2015 between Abbott and Woodworth on Lowell, however it has been
determined the very poor condition of the 6 inch diameter pipe is beyond CIPP
rehabilitation and it is recommended the pipe be replaced. These improvements are in
Consent Decree Sewershed 7 and were identified in the Sewershed 7 Corrective Action
Plan as a source of inflow and infiltration.
DISCUSSION
The improvements proposed included the replacement of approximately 400 LF of 6-inch
diameter sanitary sewer between Abbott and Woodworth Streets, approximately 515 LF
of 6-inch diameter water main, and approximately 140 LF of 15-inch diameter storm
sewer, along with ancillary street pavement and ADA curb ramp replacements. The
sanitary will be upgraded to 8" diameter piping.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve construction plans and specifications for the
Lowell Street (Abbott to Woodworth) Water Main, Sanitary & Storm Sewer Improvements
Project 2015.
BUDGET IMPACT
The project is an unplanned capital improvement therefore project funding is being
requested from three funding sources, water utility, sewer utility and storm sewer utility
funds. I am requesting the water main replacement funds come from the English Mill
Water Main Extension capital improvement, through fund code 7402504. This project is
currently on hold and will be subject to funding in later fiscal years. I am also requesting
re-prioritization of funded sanitary and storm sewer capital improvements including the
sanitary sewer improvements on King Street and Fox & Blackhawk Streets along with the
storm sewer improvements at Windsor Avenue.
The estimate of probable cost for the Lowell Street (Abbott to Woodworth)
Water Main, Sanitary & Storm Sewer Improvements Project 2015 is as follows:
Estimate
Construction Contract $ 223,920.00
Contingency $22,392.00
Construction Engineering & Inspection $34,486.65
Total Project Cost $280,79845
The project funding summary is as follows:
CIP No. Fund Description Amount
7402504 English Mill Water Main Extension $ 113,976.50
7102406 Fox Blackhawk Sanitary Sewer $ 78,398.55
7102407 King Street Sanitary Sewer $ 50,467.00
7202414 Windsor Storm Sewer Extension $ 37,956.60
Total Project Funding $280,798.65
REQUESTED ACTION
The City Council is requested to approve plans, specifications, form of contract and the
estimated cost for the Lowell Street (Abbott to Woodworth) Water Main, Sanitary & Storm
Sewer Improvements Project 2015.
