BACKGROUND
On May 20, 2014, the City Council adopted plans and specifications and authorized a call for bids for Cyclic Sewer Rehabilitation Project, Phase 11, No. P.W. 06-13-16. On September 2, 2014, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $4,583,938, including contingencies, to Ranger Pipeline, Inc. for the project. The project specifications allow for an annual extension for up to four additional years. Annual extensions will be based on mutual agreement and satisfactory performance of all aspects of the contract. Contract prices will be adjusted in accordance with the construction cost index reported in the Engineering News Record for the San Francisco Bay Area and the terms of the contract remain the same.
The principal goal of the sewer rehabilitation program is to improve the health and safety of the residents of Alameda by rehabilitating the sanitary sewer collection system, eliminating overflows, and reducing the amount of infiltration and inflow into the sewer system. Completion of this work is also required for compliance under Final Consent Decree for Consolidated Case Nos. C 09-00186-RS and C 09-05684-RS.
