The final contract cost is <br />$2,060,553.67. <br /> <br />The 2006-2007 Watermain Replacement Project is part of an annual effort to <br />systematically replace sections of the water distribution system that are dated and <br />failing, have a history of service disruptions due to leaks, or provide insufficient fire <br />protection due to inadequate pressure and capacity limitations. Engineering and the <br />Public Works Services departments annually review and update a list of aging water <br />mains to prioritize areas for replacement efforts. The 2006-2007 Watermain <br />Replacement Project replaced nearly one and a half miles of watermain at various <br />locations along Bay Road. Engineering staff designed and provided the construction <br />administration on the project. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to accept the project which would be contrary to prior Council <br />action. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funding for this project was approved and appropriated in the budget for Fiscal Year <br />2006/07 - Water Fund Capital Projects, Distribution System Replacement Program. <br /> <br />~~~~ <br />Brian Lee, P.E. <br />Senior Civil Engineer <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />Chu Chang, P.E., Actin I rector <br />Community Development Services <br /> <br /> <br />Peter Ingram <br />City Manager <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />None <br /> <br />RELATED DOCUMENTS IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE <br />None <br />
