Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />The three areas selected for valve replacement are priorities for a variety of reasons. The one <br />common reason is the three areas include valves that leak when operated or do not completely <br />shut down when operated. The two valves at Old Hwy 10 and Parkshore Drive will be needed <br />when TCAAP work begins and Public Works is asked to shut down water for construction. The <br />Valve on Harriet Avenue is a priority because public works would like to place a thin overlay on <br />the rest of this street and want to have utility work taken care of first. The Pleasant Drive area <br />presents a good grouping of valves and provides for savings in mobilization costs. <br /> <br />Proposals were solicited from two contractors to replace valves in these three locations. Nova <br />Frost provided the low quote at $40,900 with Valley Rich’s quote at $45,200. City Public Works <br />staff will assist in the repair by trucking any wet soil out and provide replacement backfill <br />materials much like we do in a watermain break. If, when excavated and inspected, it appears the <br />valve can be rebuilt and not cut out, the cost for the work can be reduced. The work will take <br />about a week and water shut downs will be scheduled. Affected customers will be given advance <br />notice of the shut downs. Public Works will then finish up with street restoration following <br />replacement of the valves. <br /> <br />The City has contracted with Nova-Frost in the past for sewer and water repairs and has been <br />pleased with their work. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Nova Frost Proposal <br />Attachment B: Valley Rich Proposal <br />
