Consideration of renewal of contract with Wiedenmann, Inc. for deep excavation services for the City of Olathe’s Public Works Department.

________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
In 2017, the City of Olathe invited vendors to submit a Statement of Qualifications to provide on-call deep excavation services for water, sewer and stormwater projects throughout Olathe and various jobs as needed at our Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants. This contract is used to perform work that City crews can’t safely do in-house. This includes repair/replacement of water and sewer lines up to 54”, and stormwater pipes up to 84”. There are areas in Olathe where water and sewer lines are too large or buried at a depth that exceeds the abilities of City of Olathe equipment. In these situations, it is necessary to contract with a firm that can excavate to the depth needed to complete repairs on water and sewer lines and return the area to rough grade.
Four (4) vendors responded to the Request for Qualifications and Wiedenmann, Inc. was chosen based on experience, having the necessary equipment to perform the work, quality of work, response time, references and previous work completed for the City of Olathe.
Staff recommends renewal of this contract with Wiedenmann for a one (1) year term through May 31, 2021 with an additional renewal option.
