SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

City of Yakima (City) Project No. 2487A Fair Avenue Sanitary Sewer Main Improvements Phase A provides for the construction of the first of two phases (A & B) of sewer main capacity improvements required to serve a fully developed Mill Site.  Phase A uses open trenching to replace 1,540 linear feet of existing 8-inch diameter sewer main along Fair Avenue between East Spruce Street and East Beech Street  (see attached Project Location Map) with a new 15-inch sewer main.  The project also reconstructs the existing roadway, sidewalk, curb and gutter and other related work.

 

The City previously entered into an agreement with HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc. under resolution R-2018-141 to provide engineering design, bidding, and construction services for the Fair Avenue Sanitary Sewer Main Improvements. The City utilized the procedure established by the State of Washington for competitively bidding projects.  Eight contractors submitted bids, with Hurst Construction, LLC. submitting the lowest bid of $1,159,555.06 for Phase A of the project.  The contract is attached for City Council review.

 

The project is funded by Wastewater Capital Fund 476. Phase B of the project will go out to bid in spring of 2020 and will consist of utilizing trenchless technology to upsize approximately 2,000 linear feet of sewer main between the Interstate 82/Fair Avenue off-ramp and East Chestnut Avenue.
