Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Council to approve a resolution
approving the plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement of bids
for CR 21 Watermain Project.
Historv
During the winter of 2008-2009 the City experienced several watermain breaks
in the CR 21 Watermain between Eau Claire Trail and Quincey Street. The
City Council ordered a Feasibility Report to examine the condition of the
watermain and options for its repair or replacement. The Feasibility Report
was presented to the City Council on June 15, 2009. Based on the condition
of the watermain described and depicted in the Feasibility Study breaks will
continue if the watermain is not replaced.
On July 20, 2009 the City Council authorized preparation of plans and
specifications by AE2S.
Current Circumstances
The plans and specifications have been completed by AE2S and are ready for
bid. The City plans to separate the directional drilling from the watermain
connection and roadway work for bidding purposes to expedite the project and
reduce costs for the City.
In order to allow adequate time for construction this fall it is important to
proceed with design of the project. The following project schedule is
necessary in order to ensure completion before weather inhibits construction
and restoration of the CR 21.

services is $7,500 ~rrigrwn~~rom the Water and Sewer Fund.
