On August 14, 2007 the City Council authorized the award of the Buck Gully Sewer
Force Main Relocation project to Mike Prlich & Sons, Inc. The contract provided for the
construction of new gravity and sewer force mains, the abandonment and removal of
portions of the existing sewer mains and the construction of new sewer manholes within
Hazel Drive, Poppy Avenue, and East Coast Highway. The contract has now been
completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department. A summary of the
contract cost is as follows:
Original bid amount: $274,633.00
Actual amount of bid items constructed: $275,284.00
Total amount of change orders: $17,095.23
Final contract cost: $292,379.23
The increase in the amount of actual bid items constructed over the original bid amount
resulted from additional 6 -Inch Yelomine PVC sewer pipe needed to complete the
connection to the existing force main on Poppy Avenue and the Ocean Front Alley.
