We expect the work to be bid in several packages over the five year period. <br />The surveys will be performed in the next six months. The first construction package is <br />anticipated for release in the summer of 2012. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to approve the proposed agreement and direct staff to find <br />alternate means of completing the work, renegotiate the terms, modify the scope, or <br />select another consultant. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Construction of individual water main replacement projects is subject to available <br />funding over the next five years.
