Re: Purchase of Castings for the 2019 Paving Program
MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT
TO CONCORD WINWATER WORKS, CO., IN THE AMOUNT OF $194,866. SOURCE
OF FUNDING IS DEPARTMENT 169, WASTEWATER
Mr. Saunders
When we mil the road and adjust the castings, we use that opportunity to replace any broken, obsolete or any
catch basins or manhole covers that are no longer compliant. We like to replace them with standardized
OSHA compliant castings. This contract is for 460 catch basin frames, 400 catch basin grates, 460 manhole
frames and 360 sewer manhole covers. Throughout the program as we mil and take off the manhole covers,
we assess them and if they need replacement, we replace them. The old ones go to wastewater. At that point
if there is any uniqueness or they believe they can salvage it, they will use those. The triangles that you see
throughout the city, those are brought over to Parks and Recreation. | believe the historical society auction
those off because they do have some historical presence. Any galvanized catch basins are also replaced to
be bike friendly for the bike lanes.
Alderman Klee
| have a lot of the triangular ones in my area. | live on Maywood Drive. There was talk many, many years ago
about replacing all of those because of the safety issues. Those will all be replaced? Because they are very
small.
Mr. Saunders
Correct. As we go if there’s a triangular manhole they are replaced with the 36-inch circular.
