The scope of services for this project involves six phases: m Inspection of all sanitary sewer manholes for the City of Dania Beach for damage,leakage or other problems • Repair/sealing of Chimneys in all manholes to reduce infiltration from the street during flooding events • Installation of dishes in all manholes to prevent infiltration • Repair of manholes in poor condition or exhibiting substantial leakage • Smoke testing of sanitary sewer system • Documentation of all problems in a report to City that identifies problem, location and recommended repair There were two bidders for the project as follows: USSI $327,634.00 American $407,325.00 • WWCIP—Award of PH 1 I—n-1 and Loan Application 03-01-2006 Page 1 k , City of Dania Beach Department of Public Services 100 West Dan12 ia Beach Blvd •Dania Beach,FL 33004 •(954)924-3741 • (954)-923-1109(fax) The City has reviewed the project and obtained a recommendation from its project management consultant to award the Bid to USSI. The City has previously worked with this firm. FDEP's Bureau of Water Facilities Funding has also reviewed the bids. It is recommended that the City Commission award the project to USSI in the amount of$327,634.00. The City Commission previously adopted Resolution 2002-120 approving the Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Facilities Plan. The Plan defines future capital infrastructure needs for the water, sewer and stormwater systems in the City and recommends improvements to each system based on current deficiencies, anticipated growth demands and compliance with federal and state environmental mandates. Infiltration and Inflow is a portion of this plan. This award is the first phase of the infiltration and inflow work. State Revolving Fund loans were identified in 2003 as the funding source for this project. Florida Statutes provide for loans to local government agencies to finance the construction of water facilities. In order to secure the loans, the Florida Administrative Code rules require authorization to: • apply for loans • establish pledged revenues • designate an authorized representative ® provide assurances of compliance with loan program requirements • enter into a loan agreement The State Revolving Fund loan priority list designates the City's infiltration and inflow program as DEP Project No. WW79104 for financing of these activities. These loan funds are for construction activities. The SRF funding designated for construction is $350,000.00, which covers contingencies and project supervision. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Commission approve a.resolution to award the Phse I Infiltration and Inflow - Manhole Inspection; repair and smoke testing to USSI in the amount of $327,634.00; approve a resolution for the loan application to the State Revolving Fund program for the work in the amount of$350,000.00; and authorize the City Manager to execute the loan documents.
