CITY OF KIRKLAND Department of Public Works 123 Fifth Avenue, Kirkland, WA 98033 425.587.3800 www.kirklandwa.gov MEMORANDUM To: Kurt Triplett, City Manager From: Marius Eugenio Jr., P.E., Project Engineer Rod Steitzer, P.E., Capital Projects Manager Kathy Brown, Public Works Director Date: July 25, 2019 Subject: 1 st STREET SEWER MAIN REPLACEMENT—ACCEPT WORK RECOMMENDATION: City Council to: • Accept the work on the 1 st Street Sewer Main Replacement (Project) performed by Rodarte Construction, Inc., Auburn, Washington, thereby establishing the statutory lien period; and • Approve returning the $427,767 fund balance to the Water/Sewer Construction Reserve. By taking action on this memo during approval of the consent calendar, the City Council is accepting the work for the Project and authorizing the return of all remaining funds back to the Water/Sewer Construction Reserve. BACKGROUND DISCUSSION: The Project provided water and sewer utility improvements within 1st Street, between 5 th and 16 th Avenues in Kirkland’s Norkirk Neighborhood (see Attachment A, Vicinity Map). The work included installation of approximately 3,200 feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer main and 1,000 linear feet of new 8-inch ductile iron watermain, including all new water service lines and sewer lateral connections. In addition to the utility upgrades, the Project also installed a full street overlay and upgraded 36 curb ramps to current ADA standards. At its July 5, 2017 meeting, City Council awarded the construction contract to Rodarte Construction in the amount of $3,093,728.00. Construction began on August 7, 2017 and was physically complete on July 9, 2019. The total earned by the contractor for this Project was $3,025,233.00. The difference is accounted for by two contract change orders and variation in estimated quantities. The remaining surplus is from lower than expected engineering costs. With all project costs accounted for, there remains a budget surplus of $424,767 and staff is recommending the return of all surplus funds to the original Project funding source (see Budget Report and Fiscal Note: Attachments B and C). The 8/7/2019 City Council meeting has multiple fiscal requests involving the Water/Sewer Construction Reserve (1st Street, 6 th Street, Rose Point Lift Station). If all three are approved, the net effect will be a ($398,393) reduction in balance, with a projected Water/Sewer Capital Construction Reserve ending balance of $10,459,096 Attachment A: Vicinity Map Attachment B: Project Budget Report Attachment C: Fiscal Note Council Meeting: 08/07/2019 Agenda: Establishing Lien Period Item #: 9. f.
