BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7b
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Brendan Cusick, Senior Engineer
Brent Goligoski, Engineering Manager – Capital Projects
MEETING DATE: May 21, 2026
ITEM – PROJECT NAME: Tahoe Keys Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Adopt Addendum No. 1 to the design Plans and
Specifications pursuant to California Government Code Section 830.6; (2) Find minor
irregularities in the bid from Express Sewer & Drain, Inc. to be immaterial and waive
immaterial irregularities; and (3) Award Contract for the 2026 Tahoe Keys Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation Project to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Express Sewer &
Drain, Inc., in the amount of $1,139,450.
DISCUSSION: On April 2, 2026, the Board adopted the Plans and Specifications and
authorized staff to advertise for construction bids for the 2026 Tahoe Keys Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation Project (Project).
The District’s previous condition assessment identified sewer mains along 8 of the 11
streets as being most at risk of failure and recommended rehabilitation utilizing
Ultraviolet Cured-in-Place Pipe (UV CIPP). This trenchless technology provides the District
with a corrosion resistant solution to extend the service life of these sewers for another
50 years or longer. The proposed Project involves lining approximately 7,332 linear feet
of 6-inch pipe, 594 linear feet of 12-inch pipe, and 614 linear feet of 14-inch pipe as well
as reinstating approximately 241 customer laterals.
A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on April 15, 2026, with eight contractors in
attendance. The bid opened at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, 2026. The District
received three bids ranging from $1,139,450 to $2,209,420. The total Engineer’s Estimate
for this Project was $725,851. The discrepancy between the Engineer’s Estimate and
bids received can mostly be attributed to the unit bid price to line the 6-inch sewer
being 3 times higher than estimated. A summary of the bid, along with staff
recommendations is attached.
The attached Addendum No. 1 was prepared by District staff to modify the Plans and
Specifications throughout the bid period to address questions posed by bidders. This
