Meeting Date:	12/12/2018
Manhole Rehab Phase I
Submitted for:	Adrian Montemayor	Submitted By:	Adrian Montemayor
Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Purchasing Agent to secure competitive bids for the rehabilitation of multiple manholes within the Rio Bravo and El Cenizo wastewater collection system in an amount not to exceed $85,200.00 and in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code; Section 271.102 (Cooperative Purchasing Program Participation). [Funding is available and identified in the approved Capital Improvements Program under the 2016 Bond, 7220-7270-001-474501 (Construction in Progress)]

Issue: Through combinations of questionable installation as well as limited to no maintenance, various points of our wastewater infrastructure has reached its useful life and requires replacement and/or rehabilitation to maintain its structural integrity. The issues of question regarding this phased project are 15 manholes that require some structural improvements and in some cases replacement, as well as a coating to lengthen its useful life.

Solution: Utilize an experienced contractor with approved pricing by the State to complete the first stage of critical infrastructure rehabilitation.

Result: Improve the integrity and reliability of the existing manhole locations preventing possible complete failure and loss of service. This will prevent massive emergency repairs in the future.

Background:

Southern Trenchless Solutions was identified by other utilities to have excellent results in the repair and replacement of existing manholes. In our initial critical repair locations, we identified 15 ten foot manholes with 150 vertical feet of 4-foot diameter manhole in severe need of rehabilitation. Pricing was requested under the BuyBoard Contract identified.

Previous Court Action:

None.
