AWARD CONTRACT - VIA APPIA PROJECT - WESTERN PAVING INC AND APPROVAL OF PAYMENT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES - CIVIL DESIGN Phare explained that On May 27, 1986, the City received cpnstructi.on bids for the Via Appia project extending from Lafayette St. approximately 750 ft. west. Low bid was from Western Paving at $123,597.00. Civil Design Group Inc., the City's consulting engineers assisted in the project and recommended contract be awarded to Western Paving. In order for the City to undertake this project, it will be necessary to obtain construction management, surveying, and field testing services. Civil Design Group Inc. has submitted a proposal for this wark in construction management and they will be spending considerable time on other portions of Via Appia. Public Works staff feels they can mast effectively manage the portion from Lafayette Street 750 ft. west. Hundley stated that Via Appia construction through the Special Improvement District has begun this week and this is the City's portion of the Via Appia construction. Mayor Fausan moved that Western Paving Inc. be award the contract for the Via Appia Project at $123,597.00 and that Civil Design Group Inc. be retained for construction management, field testing, and survey work on that portion of the roadway in an amount not to exceed $12,000. Carnival seconded. Unanimous. REJECTION OF BIDS - NORTH LOUISVILLE TRUNK INTERCEPTOR PROJECT Phare explained that on April 8, 1986, the City received construction bids for the North Louisville Interceptor Sewer. The low bid was $43,000 in excess of the estimated contract cost. Since that time, the City has been contacted regarding a proposed development and their assess- ment of the North Louisville Interceptor Sewer. In discussipns with the developers, it was deter- mined that a better route for the sewer as far as their development is concerned was further east than the alignment upon which bids were received. Upon review, there is potential for significant cost savings in locating this further east. The relocation would run nearly parallel to Highway 42 from the Wastewater Treatment Plant to a point approximate~.y 500 ft. north of So. Boulder Road. The advantage of this route is that the depth of the sewer would be considerably less than that if it was located in the State Highway right-of-way presenting a cost savings in construction and would result in easier maintenance for the City once the sewer is in place. 5
