SUBJECT:
FY 2014 2672 AND 2736 LOGAN AVENUE SANITARY SEWER
SERVICES
Submitted by: Dennis Gentz, PE, Assistant City Engineer
Recommended City Council Action:
Waive application of bidding policy and approve bid received from Vieth Construction
Corporation of Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Summary Statement
This project was originally bid following the Iowa Code for projects greater than $25,000.00 that
requires a public hearing. A public hearing was held on August 19, 2013. However, no bids were
received. Two separate addendums were issued to reset the date of bid opening for September 9,
2013 and September 23, 2013. Again, no bids were received on either date.
Additional field information was obtained to provide a more detailed design for potential bidders.
The project cost was estimated at $22,000.00 and was bid again under the process of projects less
than $25,000.00 as established by city policy. On November 25, 2013, one bid was received for
$34,040.00. Due to the lack of bidders' interest and the aforementioned efforts that have been
made, it is recommended the City Council waive the application of the bidding policy for project
costs greater than $25,000.00 and award the bid to Vieth Construction Corporation for
$34,040.00.
Expenditure Required: $34,040.00
Source of Funds: Sanitary Fund
Policy Issue:
Alternative: N/A
Background Information:
These two sanitary sewer services currently are served by one pipe crossing under US 63. The
services are shallow where they cross a drainageway and are above the flowline of an adjacent
upstream culvert pipe under US 63. Therefore, the services need to be separated and the
drainageway crossing eliminated.
