ANALYSIS
This Project consists of the continuation of the City's Infiltration/lnflow (III) mitigation
program, which began in 1993, Infiltration is groundwater that enters the sanitary sewer
system through leaks in pipes, pipe joints, and manholes, Inflow is typically stormwater that
enters the system through or around the manhole covers or through improper connections,
such as roof or yard drains that may be connected to the sanitary sewer system instead
of the stormwater system, Under some conditions, such as during rainfall events,
wastewater flows dramatically increase due to infiltration and inflow, Since the cost of
treating wastewater is high, it is essential that infiltration and inflow be dramatically
reduced.

ANALYSIS (Continued)
This program's objective is to systematically identify locations of infiltration and inflow within
the sanitary sewer system and eliminate the problem by rehabilitating or replacing the pipe
segments and manholes that have been identified as deficient. A collateral benefit of this
program is an extension of the life expectancy of the components that are rehabilitated,
Additionally, this program is to bring the City into compliance with the first Phase of the
EPA's Consent Decree, which mandates the reduction of Infiltration and Inflow as a result
of a settlement agreement between the EPA and Miami-Dade County, The Consent
Decree imposes scheduled improvements for wastewater collection systems and treatment
facilities in order to meet existing environmental regulations,
This contract covers the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer lines and manholes throughout the
City of Miami Beach and includes furnishing all labor, material and equipment for
rehabilitation, by the resin impregnated felt /cured in-place pipe lining method. This
includes approximately 57,000 feet of gravity sanitary sewers (6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and
18-inch), grouting of approximately 7,000 pipe joints, performing approximately 190 spot
repairs, and rehabilitating approximately 100 manholes in the City of Miami Beach, Florida.
The work includes cleaning the existing sewer pipes and lining them in-place by the resin
impregnated liner method, grouting pipe joints, performing spot repairs, and rehabilitating
manholes. The rehabilitation of the sewer line is accomplished through the manholes.
Work also includes televising, making spot repairs, cleaning, and surface preparation of
the interior of the existing pipeline, bypass pumping, dewatering the segment to be lined,
testing for leaks, cutting, testing and grouting lateral connections, maintenance of traffic
control, and all other appurtenances and miscellaneous related items and work for a
completed Project.
The pipe segments requiring rehabilitation under this contract are scattered throughout
various areas of the City as follows:
. South Beach - south of Dade Blvd and north of 5th Street (including the Venetian
Islands) - 42,000 L.F.
. Mid-Beach- north of Dade Blvd, and south of 63rd Street (including La Gorce Island and
Collins Ave.) - 26,000 L.F.
. North Beach - North of 63rd Street (including the south half of Normandy Island) -
27,000 L.F.
Previous projects of this nature in Miami Beach indicate that there will be minimal
disruption within the various neighborhoods, The rehabilitation process is performed within
the pipe, from manhole to manhole, and requires no excavation of the actual pipe.

ANALYSIS (Continued)
Daily flow records have been evaluated to compare the flow quantities for the year 1993,
the inception of the program, to FY 2001, The County's Virginia Key flow records indicate
a reduction of daily flow of approximately 3,674,000 GPD since the program's beginning,
The reduction of flow is approximately 60% of the predicted removable infiltration and has
saved the City an estimated $2,114,000 per year in direct treatment costs.
The reduced flow volumes also result in indirect savings in the reduced operating and
maintenance costs of the pump and lift stations within the City,
To date, approximately 75% of the recommended pipe rehabilitation has been completed,
with the greatest sources of III being addressed first. This rehabilitation has resulted in
eliminating approximately 60% of the estimated 6,5 MGD of III from the sanitary sewer
system. This project will complete the remaining 25% of the recommended pipe
rehabilitation, and once completed, should save the City approximately $880,000 per year.
The contractor will be completed with the work within four-hundred-fifty-five (455) calendar
days after the issuance of the notice to proceed, The contractor will provide Performance
and Payment Bonds each in the amount of one.hundred (100%) percent of the contract
price.
Invitation to Bid No. 36-00/01 was issued on September 5,2001, with an opening date of
November 9, 2001, A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held September 19, 2001,
DemandStar.com issued bid notices to one-thousand-eight-hundred-nine (1809)
prospective bidders, resulting in thirty-four (34) vendors requesting bid packages, which
resulted in the receipt of three (3) responsive bids,
The Consultant (Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc,) has reviewed the three (3) bids received,
and has recommended award of this contract to the lowest overall bidder, Azurix North
America Underground Infrastructue, Inc,

Contractor comes highly recommended, This contractor has been in business twenty-
seven years as a General Contractor, and provides quality work and completes all projects
within the required completion dates, This contractor received overall excellent ratings from
Broward County, Hazen & Sawyer, the City of Coral Springs, and Orange County for
