(D) STORM PIPE REPLACEMENT AT RIVER MILL ANTIQUE MALL



It is requested that Council approve a contract with Warr Grading Contractor,

Inc., in the amount of $23,069.00 to replace storm pipe at River Mill Antique

Mall in Bibb City.



The storm pipe replacement project site is adjacent to the Bibb Mill parking

lot. Warr Grading Contractor is currently replacing the storm pipe that runs

underneath the Bibb Mill parking lot; and the owner of Bibb Mill will pay for

this portion of the work. The section of the pipe that is connected to, but

extends beyond, Bibb Mill parking lot requires replacement as well, and the

City is responsible for this portion of the pipe replacement. Since the City?s

project is in such close proximity to the project in process at Bibb Mill

parking lot, it is only prudent to contract with the contractor who is already

on site, rather than expending the time and cost of formally bidding the

project. In addition, having two contractors on the same site could prove

counter-productive by doubling the traffic congestion and other inconveniences.



The contractor has inspected the site, reviewed the plans provided by the

Engineer, Jordan, Jones and Goulding, and submitted a lump sum cost proposal,

to the Engineering Department, to replace the pipe. The work will include the

following:

Demolition (Asphalt, Curb and Gutter Wall)

Install new 36? RCP as per Plans,

Trench Stabilization as needed

Install New Junction Box

New Storm Manhole to accommodate new pipe

Replace wall as needed

Replace curb and gutter as needed

Replace asphalt paving as needed

Traffic Control as needed

Construction staking

Soils testing as needed



The Engineering Department and the City?s contracted Engineer is confident this

vendor can perform the work, and the cost proposed is comparable to the cost

that is typical for this type of project. The vendor has agreed to provide the

necessary bonding and insurance required for this project.



Funds are budgeted in the FY04 Budget; Lease/Revenue Bonds - 2003A Series Bond

Project ? Drainage/Street Improvements ? Storm Water Enhancements;

0554-200-2439-CBA-7622-40235030.
