Approximately 550 feet of this waterline will be abandoned and all services and fire hydrant will be reconnected to the existing 14-inch asbestos cement waterline installed in 1967. The 14-inch pipeline has no history of leaks, and the work identified will be constructed by the Water Division's field forces. Once the services and fire hydrant relocations are complete, RPU will repair the trenches in accordance with Public Works 453 standard of 2011. A budgetary estimate for the paving work has been included in this authorization. FISCAL IMPACT: The total capital expenditure for Work Order No. 1516755 is estimated to be $70,000, which includes construction and paving costs as summarized in the following table: Construction $53,000 Paving $10,000 Contingency $7,000 Work Order Total $70,000 Funds are budgeted and available in the Public Utilities' Water Main Replacement Account No. 6230000- 470707.
