The following resolution was approved without comment at the November 23, 2009 Sac City Council meeting. It is the final approval of the plans for fixing the sanitary sewers on Gishwiller between South 11th and South 12th Streets, and on South 11th Street between Gishwiller and Bailey.
On November 19, 2009 at 2:00PM the city took bids for lining the sanitary sewers on Gishwiller between South 11th and South 12th Streets, and on South 11th Street Between Gishwiller and Bailey. As you can see from the following bid tab, (linked) Municipal Pipe Tool Company out of Hudson Iowa had the low bid, coming in under the engineer's estimate by just under $100 thousand dollars.

The alternates at the bottom of the chart apply to line #9, rehabilitation of manholes. Those alternates are different alternatives for rehabbing the manholes. The city took bids for redoing the manholes in what they were advised by Snyder and Associates was the best method, but not the only method. As the manholes are individually examined, the method for rehabbing them will be individually determined and charged to the city using the alternative chart.
There are 79 manholes that will be redone.
Because the bids are so low, the Sac City Council is considering extending the sewer lining project all the way to the Aquatic Center. According to Snyder and Associates representative Darin Jacobs, extending the job would very roughly cost an additional $15,000. Sac City Maintenance Department Head Bob Scheffler said that they "smoked" the sewer in that extended area and smoke came out everywhere. He therefore recommended that the City Council go that extra few blocks.
The Sac City Council awarded the bid to Municipal Pipe Tool Company, and will consider extending the job at a future date.
