Agenda Item – Award Bid for Bid No. 1421 Project UT1210CS Bob Billings Parkway East of K-10 Highway Sanitary Sewer and Waterline Improvements Contracts 1 and 2 |
Background
KDOT has bid the construction of an interchange at the intersection of Highway K-10 and Bob Billings Parkway for construction. This project was bid on May 21, 2014 and construction will be complete in early 2016. Review of the project’s field check plans showed that portions of the existing sanitary system and watermain required relocation. To accommodate the interchange construction, the Department of Utilities staff coordinated with KDOT and Landplan Engineering for the sanitary sewer and watermain relocations required for this construction.
Bob Billings Parkway – Sanitary Sewer Relocations (Contract 1)
Relocation of approximately 1,100 linear feet of 12” diameter sanitary sewer interceptors in the area of Bob Billings Parkway as shown on the attached map. The existing sanitary sewer in this area is in conflict with the new Bob Billings Parkway Interchange.
Bob Billings Parkway – Watermain Relocations (Contract 2)
Relocation of 425 linear feet of 12” waterline north of Bob Billings Parkway, as shown on the attached map. The existing waterline in this area is in conflict with the new right-turn lane from Bob Billings Parkway onto Langston Way.
