PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
W.O. 18-22: Leavens Reservoir Expansion and Zone 1 Improvements will add additional water storage for the Zone 1 Pressure Zone and provide piping modifications within the High Service Pump Station to the distribution main in Belknap Avenue to improve reliability of the distribution system near the Water Treatment Plant in Zone 1. The Zone 1 potable water pressure zone is a critical zone which serves downtown, hospitals, several schools, and the university. The project was advertised April 19th, 26th, May 3rd, 10th, and 17th. Bids were opened on May 28th. State law requires City Council to consider bids at the next Council meeting after opening bids. Since bids were opened on the same day as the Council meeting, staff is recommending bid award be delayed in order to evaluate bids.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Bid results will be presented in the council agenda item on the June 10th Council meeting.
