Approval of a Resolution authorizing  the Mayor to execute an Engineering Services Agreement with HDR/Claunch & Miller for Waterline Replacement Project - Phase 10

One-half of this project is the typical, annual waterline replacement and rehabilitation work.  Utility Department staff have identified locations throughout the City where old, deteriorated lines should be replaced and/or upgraded.

The other one-half of this project is preparing the waterline replacement construction drawings for the two County Road Bond projects (9th Ave. and 6th Street).  HDR will prepare the necessary engineering documents for the waterline work and then coordinate with the County's Engineering firm selected to do the road projects.  The waterline replacement and roadway work will then be bid as a single project.

There is sufficient funding within the utility budget to perform this engineering work and the construction.  We will initially attempt to have the 9th Ave. and 6th Street waterline work paid for from the County Bond Funds, then more of the utility funding can be directed at the annual waterline replacement program.
