Body
BACKGROUND
Part One of this action, in the amount of $9,521,062.50, consists of a small services eighteen-month master agreement for the installation of 3/4-inch to 2-inch water services and 6-inch wastewater connections, as requested by the Department of Sustainable Development and Construction, upon issuance of a permit to the property owner.
Part Two of this action, in the amount of $2,791,645.00, includes the installation of approximately 1,230 feet of 6-inch, 240 feet of 8-inch, 990 feet of 12-inch, and 110 feet of 20-inch water mains, and the installation of approximately 3,160 feet of 8-inch, 1,050 feet of 12-inch, and 50 feet of 18-inch wastewater mains. The existing water and wastewater mains were built between 1922 and 1965. These mains are contributing to an increase in maintenance costs, as well as service interruptions. The installation of the proposed segments will improve the capacity of the water and wastewater systems and reduce maintenance costs.
Part Three of this action, in the amount of $4,511,139.50, includes water and wastewater mainline extensions and consists of an eighteen-month master agreement in support of small services that may require extension of the existing mainlines. Also, included are water and wastewater emergency mainline replacements and relocations, which will allow for quick response in support of Dallas Water Utilities’ operations.
