<br />
<br /> 84-279 - Letter'from ~he City Manager recommending adoption of an ordinance to appropriat
<br />$80,000 for architectural/engineering design for a new fire station and relocation of the
<br />existing personnel and equipment f~om the old Norfolk County 1947 facility on Cedar Lane.
<br />
<br /> "The 1983/84 Capital Improvement Program identified 550,000 for architectural/engineering
<br />design for a new fire station and relocation of the existing 1947 county facility on Cedar
<br />Lane. The proposed site for the new fire station is on public right-of-way at the inter-
<br />section of River Shore Road and C-edit Lane. This location will provide shorter response time
<br />to the northern sections of Churchland and the areas where new development is occurring most
<br />rapidly. The' proximity to the Western Ereeway interchange with Cedar Lane will provide im-
<br />proved access to initial and secondary calls in other areas of the City.
<br />
<br /> I recommend that the Council appropriate $50,000 from th~: FY 83/84 Capital Improvement ·
<br />Program for design of this new facility." % ~. ~ ' ·

<br />

<br />$335,000 for the renovation work to

<br />
<br /> adoption of an ordinance to appropr~at
<br />the 2.0 million gallon ground storage reservior at Godwin
<br />
<br /> ~arlier this year City Cnuncil appropriated $8,500 for the preparation and issuance of
<br />bid documents, along with providing inspection and construction services for the renovation
<br />of the 1919, 2 million gallon, ground storage reservior at the Godwin $~reet facility.
<br />
<br /> This structure has been experiencing problems with expansion joint leaks and general
<br />structural deterioration due to its advanced age. Originally it was thought that the entire
<br />structure would have to be replaced at a cost in excess of $1.1 million. H6wever, after a
<br />complete and thorough study, it Bppears that the wells and base are structurally sound and
<br />only the beams, columns, and slab roof needs to be replaced.
<br />
<br /> The low bidder, out of three firms submitting proposals was Virginia Bridge and Structure~
<br />Inc., wi~h a bid of $305,334. The following is a listing of the bids received.
<br />
<br />C_~, ~:i~:~ ~MOUNT OF BID % OF BID
<br />City Estimate '$280;000 100%
<br />Virginia Bridge & Structures, Inc. 505,334 109%
<br />Century Concrete 308,430 110%
<br />W. F. Magann CQrporation 325,135 116%
<br />
<br /> The Director

<br />award
<br />which
<br />
<br />of Public
<br />
<br />Utilities
<br />
<br />has investigated Virginia
<br />
<br />Bridge and S~ructures,
<br />
<br />regard to both financial status and the ability to perform the work, and he recommends
<br />of the contract to the apparent low bidder. As you recall, this contractor was the one
<br />recently did the excellent work on the 1846 Courthouse.
<br />
<br />The required appropriation,
<br />
<br />Construction Contract
<br />C~n~i~gencies
<br />
<br />including 10% contingency, is $335,000.
<br />
<br />$305,334
<br /> 29,666
<br />
<br />$335,000
<br />
<br /> Therefore, I recommend appropriation of $335,000 and award Of contract to Virginia Bridge
<br /> and Structu'~:s, Inc."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Beamer and seconded by Mrs. Webb, the following ordinance was approved
<br />on first reading; contract to be awarded to Virginia Bridge and Structures, Inc., as recom-
<br />mended, and was adopted by unanimous vote:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $335,000 F~@M THE PUBLIC UTILITY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
<br /> FUND FOR REPAIRS TO THE 2.0 MILLION GALLON GODWIN STREET GROUND STORAGE RESERVOIR."
<br />
<br /> 84-281 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of an ordinance to appropriat~
<br /> $183,214 to rehabilitate 3400+ feet of 10" gravity sewer main along Greenwood Drive.
<br />
<br /> "As part of'the overall rehabilitation effort in the Greenwood Drive area, the Directors
<br />of Public Works and Public Utilities recommend the replacement of the 10" gravity sewer line
<br />on Greenwood Drive from Victory Boulevard to Bold Street. Television inspection of this main
<br />clearly shows many deteriorated sections, and it would be cost effective to replace the main
<br />prior to ~oad~ay improvements.
<br />
<br /> Traditional replacement methods may have cost at least $217,000J The Departments have
<br />investigated and recommend use of a patented process of placing a fiberglass ~iner W~t~n a
<br />pipe. This method, called Insituform, has been used successfully by the cities of Newport New~
<br />and Richmond and by Fairfax County. The estimated cost is $183,214 which would represent a
<br />sawings of $33,786, or 16%.
