Title
Resolution Approving a Construction Contract with 53 Corporation, LLC, for the Plum Creek Parkway Roadway and Widening Improvements Phase 1A - Storm Sewer Project
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The purpose of the memo is to request Town Council to approve a Resolution approving a Construction Contract (Attachment A) with 53 Corporation LLC, for the Plum Creek Parkway Roadway and Widening Improvements Phase 1A - Storm Sewer Project. The work to be performed under this contract includes installation of new storm sewer pipe from 18 inches to 54 inches, drainage inlets and manholes, removal of existing concrete, hot mix asphalt patching, erosion control, and landscape restoration along Plum Creek Parkway from Gilbert Street to Eaton Street.
The design for the full widening from Gilbert Street to Ridge Road is 95% complete and is scheduled to be finalized by the end of November. The widening work will be completed in two different phases. The first phase is between Gilbert and Eaton Streets, which is planned for completion in 2020. The second phase is between Eaton Street and Ridge Road, and is currently being recommended to be completed in 2021. We are currently in process of acquiring the necessary right-of-way (ROW). The timing of the completion of this acquisition is estimated to be completed in the winter at the latest. We currently estimate that once the ROW is acquired; it will be late this year to bid the complete first widening phase. The roadway portion of construction would occur during the winter months which is not ideal for construction.
The advancement of a breakout underground storm sewer package will allow the construction of the new storm sewer located within the existing right-of-way to take place this year. Construction of this package will take place during the winter months and is scheduled to be complete by the end of January 2020. Approval of this package would reduce the construction time of the final roadway portion between Gilbert and Eaton streets by four months. Benefits of this separate underground drainage package are as follows:
• Allows all other utilities to be relocated during the same time as the drainage package.
• Allows time to complete the acquisition of right-of-way for the remainder of the proposed project.
• Allows roadway construction to be a standalone package that can begin earlier in the spring of 2020 and be completed before winter.
