Body
BACKGROUND
This action will authorize a construction services contract with Sisters Asphalt, Inc. for the installation and rehabilitation of approximately 46,510 feet of water and wastewater mains. This includes approximately 870 feet of 6-inch, 25,730 feet of 8-inch, and 3,650 feet of 12-inch water mains, and approximately 13,760 feet of 8-inch, and 2,500 feet of 12-inch wastewater mains.
The existing water and wastewater mains were built between 1930 and 1984. 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.
The construction contract includes water and wastewater main improvements in the Mesquite Heights neighborhood bounded by X-Ray Lane, Lindaloe Lane, Turnout Lane and West Camp Wisdom Road. This includes the installation of approximately 70 feet of 6-inch and 4,740 feet of 8-inch water mains, and the installation of approximately 3,190 feet of 8-inch and 800 feet of 12-inch wastewater mains. These improvements will increase equity across the City’s water and wastewater systems and provide service to unserved properties in the Mesquite Heights neighborhood.
