1 SUBJ: Reject All Bids for the West 86th Street Watermain 1. -9"1_
Improvement Project No. 90-10
At their regular meeting on Monday, September 14, 1992, the City Council awarded the
West 86th Street Trunk Watermain Project No. 90 -10 to Machtemes Construction Company
1 contingent upon the City being able to obtain the necessary easements or right -of- entry's
prior to November 9, 1992. During the past few months, staff has been working with
property owners along the project to obtain the necessary utility easements for the project
I or, at a minimum, right -of- entries to allow the project to begin construction yet this fall.
Following these negotiations, it appears that obtaining the these easements will be more
difficult than initially anticipated and it is no longer possible to begin construction this fall.
1 Staff has also contacted Mr. John Klingelhutz, the developer of the Lake Riley Hills
subdivision, to inform him of the situation. If the easement issues can be resolved over the
1 winter, this project could be constructed in 1993.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council reject all bids for the West 86th Street
1 Trunk Watermain improvement Project No. 90-10.
