Annually, <br /> staff from Engineering and Transportation and Public Works Services departments <br /> identifies pipeline sections that have had service disruptions, excessive maintenance <br /> requirements, or capacity limitations, and target those sections for replacement. This <br /> year, the 2011-2012 Watermain Replacement Project will replace approximately 4,640 <br /> linear feet of deteriorated cast iron water pipeline (distribution and transmission <br /> systems) with more durable PVC pipe. In project areas on Goodwin, Truman, Poplar <br /> and a portion of Junipero, existing 6-inch and 8-inch cast iron pipe will be replaced with <br /> 12-inch PVC to serve as arterial mains. On Oak and the remaining portion of Junipero, <br /> existing 6-inch and 8-inch cast iron pipe will be replaced with 8-inch PVC to serve as <br /> distribution mains. Lateral service connections (155) and existing fire hydrants (6) will <br /> be replaced, in addition to improvements to the system to protect water quality. Please <br /> see attached project location map. <br /> The fourteen (14) bids received at the bid opening on July 20, 2011, are summarized in <br /> the table below. <br /> Bidder Bid Amount <br /> Shaw Pipeline, Inc. — San Francisco $790,200.00 <br /> Bay Pacific Pipelines, Inc. — Novato 819,500.00 <br /> K.J.
