The Water System Master Plan prioritized the system pipeline <br />replacement into seven priorities or programs to improve the reliability of the system <br />and provide improved fire protection. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br />The City has replaced all priority one water mains with a few exceptions that were put <br />on hold due to various factors such as coordination with other utility projects. The 2016- <br />2017 Watermain Replacement Project – Phase I will replace “priority two” water mains. <br />These are the remaining water mains four inches in diameter or smaller not included in <br />the priority one program. The project scope of work includes replacing approximately <br />6,150 linear feet of deteriorated cast iron and galvanized iron water pipeline with more <br />durable six-inch and eight-inch PVC pipes in the Oaknoll/Edgewood Park <br />Neighborhood. The water service laterals within the project area will be upgraded to 1.5- <br />inch Polyethylene pipes at the minimum. Nine (9) existing fire hydrants will be replaced <br />while three (3) new fire hydrants will be added to the project area. The project will <br />improve fire flows and water quality. Please see attached project location map. <br /> <br />The five (5) bids received at the bid opening on March 29, 2017 are summarized in the <br />table below. <br /> <br /> <br />6.1.F. - Page 1
