Item: Manhole Rehabilitation - Contract Extension 2022
Department: Public Works
 

The Public Works Department has an existing contract with Culy Contracting of Winchester, Indiana, for Manhole Rehabilitation services. The original contract expired on March 22, 2021. This contract is for the non-destructive repair of manholes which reduces the periodic maintenance of the sanitary and storm sewer manholes over the useful lifespan of the structure. Manhole rehabilitation involves bypassing the existing flow, high pressure cleaning of the walls and floor, application of a grout coating (referred to as cementitious coating) and, in some instances, applying a structurally enhanced epoxy coating.  All of this work can be done without excavation.

Per Village Policy, contracts can be extended with Village Board approval, up to the original terms of the contract. 

 

Staff has been pleased with Culy Contracting’s quality of work. The contractor has offered to extend the contract without an increase in price. Staff is requesting the second of three possible one-year extensions. This extension would begin in March 2022 through March 2023.

Funding is available for these services in Account No. 426-7101-571.50-25 (SW1520).
 
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Village Board award a one-year contract extension for Manhole Rehabilitation to Culy Contracting of Winchester, Indiana, at unit bid prices, up to the budgeted amount, and authorize Staff to execute the necessary documents.
