The City Council has budgeted for needed <br />maintenance to the water system and included a valve replacement program in the Capital <br />Improvement Plan. The amount budgeted in 2016 for valve replacement is $30,000 from the <br />water utility funds. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Public Works has identified valves that have been the most problematic and programmed <br />replacement for this year’s portion of the valve replacement. In order to keep costs, down we <br />plan to contract for the valve replacement but take care of the street repairs and restoration <br />through our staff. This approach avoids paying a general contractor to manage work of a <br />subcontractor and in turn should provide a lower cost overall. <br /> <br />Staff requested quotes for valve replacement of the following: <br /> <br />2 - 12” valves near Old Hwy 10 and Parkshore Drive <br />3 - 8” valves on Pleasant Drive <br />1 - 6” valve on Pleasant Drive <br />1 - 8” valve on Harriet Avenue <br />AGENDA ITEM – 5E <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
