Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of an Ordinance awarding the bid for Project No. 1004 for the I-470 Bore - St. Luke’s to Colbern Road Project to Redford Construction, Inc. in the amount of $795,070.00, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for the same.

Background:
The Douglas Road Pump Station is located south of I-470 near the St. Luke’s East Hospital. The pump station is located at the top of a sewage drainage basin that naturally wants to drain to the northwest towards the City’s Little Cedar Interceptor, through undeveloped land on the north side of I-470. The station was constructed in 1994 and currently serves the commercial development along Douglas Road. The 2022 Wastewater Master Plan included a review of the existing Douglas Road Pump Station and identified an opportunity to eliminate the pump station through the installation of a gravity sewer as the infrastructure north of I-470 develops.
The proposed Discovery Park Development will provide an opportunity for the City to eliminate the Douglas Road Pump Station. Additionally, the hospital operates a privately-owned pump station that will also have the opportunity to be decommissioned.
Impact/Analysis:
The installation of a gravity main from the Douglas Road Pump Station to the Discovery Park development will allow for the elimination of a high consequence of failure pump station and the annual cost of operating and maintaining a pump station.
Water Utilities advertised for bids for Project No. 1004 on August 26, 2024. Potential bidders were notified through QuestCDN and advertisement in the local papers. Three responsive bids were received by the September 25, 2024 bid opening date. Upon a review of the bids received, it was determined that Redford Construction was the lowest and most responsible and responsive bid. Therefore, it is the recommendation that the project be awarded to Redford Construction, Inc.
