Subject: Approval of and authorization for the Mayor to execute an agreement with Ranger
Construction Industries, Inc. to relocate a 12-inch sanitary sewer force main under the Florida Turnpike in
order to avoid a conflict with widening of that highway for the amount of $411 ,227.75.
Background Summary:
The City's utility operation has three crossings of Florida's Turnpike, which is presently undergoing a significant
widening project in the Ocoee area. The largest of these crossings occurs at Maguire Road, where potable water,
reclaimed water, and sanitary sewer mains are located. It was discovered late in the design process for the
widening project that the 12-inch sanitary sewer force main and 12-inch potable water main were in conflict with
the widening project due to a loss of vertical separation. The initial expectation was the City would have to
relocate both utility mains to a lower depth, but subsequent analysis using the water flow model showed that the
City could maintain sufficient potable water flow and pressure without the water main. This left the sanitary sewer
force main-the only link flowing north from the portion of the city south of the Turnpike-as the primary focus of
the utility relocation project.
City utility lines are located in the Turnpike's right of way through a permit, which means the cost of relocating
those lines as a result of Turnpike construction must be fully borne by the City. The new permit requirements
imposed on the City say authorize relocation of the sanitary sewer force main further to the southeast and at a
greater depth. The permit also authorizes the City to install a potable water main should it ever become
necessary. The force main's relocation must occur before the area is excavated for the road widening, which
means it must be completed in the next few months.
The Turnpike widening project is being undertaken by Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. City Engineering and
Utilities staff determined that the cost savings from using Ranger to do the utility relocation work indicated that it
was more cost effective to award the work to Ranger without competitive bid. The savings derive from the
reduced cost of work coordination within a limited construction space and avoidance of separate maintenance of
traffic expenses, which are substantial on a high-speed, limited-access facility.
In anticipation of project costs, the City budget for FY 2006/07 allocated $150,000 for design and right of way
acquisition. The FY 2007/08 budget allocated $440,000 for construction. The actual cost for design was
$37,380.00, including the system modeling work, substantially less than anticipated. Ranger's cost proposal for
the relocation work is also below budget at $411,227.75.
Issue:
The need for utility relocation as part of widening the Turnpike through Ocoee was not discovered until
the engineering had progressed to 90% plans. At that time, it was discovered that the entire four-foot
vertical separation provided when the utility lines were initially installed was going to be eliminated in the
southern ditch line once the road was widened. The Engineering Department subsequently worked with
the Turnpike Enterprise, the Utility Department, and our engineering consultants over the last 20 months
to identify the most cost effective way to accommodate the vertical clearance requirements of the
1
widened facility. The ultimate decision was to relocate the sanitary sewer force main, operate without the
potable water main at this location, and remove or grout the old lines. In accordance with our schedule
approved by the Turnpike Enterprise, utility relocation construction must be completed by mid-June.
Recommendations
The Engineering Department recommends that the City Commission approve the proposed agreement
with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc., and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the required
legal documents.

supplier, he may write in the name of such alternate in the substitution list included
within this Bid Form. If the proposed alternate manufacturer/supplier is determined "not
equivalent" by the Architect or Engineer, the Bidder must furnish equipment and/or
material items by the originally specified manufacturer/supplier.
12. SUBSTITUTIONS AND "OR EQUAL"
The undersigned as Bidder agrees that substitutions or "or-equal" items will not be
considered until after the "Effective Date of the Agreement" and will be evaluated in
accordance with paragraphs 6,05,1 and 6.05.2 of the General Conditions. In addition to
the reimbursement required under the General Conditions, the Contractor shall also
reimburse the Owner for any design costs directly attributable to the change in
manufacturers/suppliers, caused by the acceptance of proposed alternates, such as;
additional field trips for the Architect and/or Engineer, additional redesign costs, and

manufacturers/suppliers caused by the acceptance of proposed alternates, such as;
increased electrical requirements, larger building, additional pumps or tankage, etc., shall
be borne by others and not the Owner. If Bidder intends to propose substitutions or "or-
equal" items after the "Effective Date of the Agreement," it is agreed that these items will
be listed on the Substitution List included within this Bid Form, with a deductive amount
representing 50 percent of the total savings between the named Base Bid item and the
proposed item. "Base Bid" item substitutions providing an equipment or material cost
00300-6
savings to the Owner of less than $1,000 will not be considered. The undersigned, as
Bidder, also agrees that if a substitution or "or-equal" item is not listed on the
Substitution List included with the Bid, all of the savings between the named item and the
proposed item will go to the Owner if the Owner accepts the proposed item in accordance

and the undersigned Bidder shall supply, complete information on proposed substitutions.
Such information shall be the manufacturer's current published or preprinted information
for the specific substitution.

sole discretion reserves the right to waive technicalities or irregularities, to reject any or
all Bids, and/or to accept that Bid which is in the best interest of the City. The Award of
