drilling is more expensive than direct bury. However, during the design of the project, staff put
<br />30
<br />together a bid alternate in order to get a bid comparison between the two methods for water main
<br />31
<br />construction. The two alternates, Alternate No. 1 being the direct bury of PVC - C900 pipe and
<br />32
<br />Alternate No. 2 being the directional boring of HDPE pipe. After reviewing the costs for the
<br />33
<br />alternates, staff is recommending the award of Alternate No. 2- directional boring. The cost for
<br />34
<br />the work was slightly less expensive and the disruption to property owners will be less than
<br />35
<br />direct bury.
