The <br /> project area consists of an existing 6-inch cast iron water main that was installed in 1926 and has <br /> experienced several leaks. Recently there were six leaks within a 24-hour period. The work will entail the <br /> construction of approximately 860 linear feet of 12-inch ductile iron pipe, 14 service tie-overs, and 6 <br /> system connections. The work identified will be constructed by the Water Division's field forces. <br /> Once the new water pipelines are installed, RPU will be responsible for standard trench repaving in <br /> accordance with Public Works paving standards. Due to the relatively small size of the project area, the <br /> trench resurfacing work will be performed by the Public Works Department Streets Division. However, if <br /> the backlog of Streets Division projects precludes the paving to occur on schedule, staff will solicit paving <br /> bids from RPU's Contractor Panel. A budgetary estimate for the paving work has been included in this <br /> authorization. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> The total capital expenditure for Work Order No. 1402322 is estimated to be $410,000, as summarized in <br /> the following table: <br /> Description Cost Percent of Total <br /> Design $10,000 2.4% <br /> Construction (City Forces) $250,000 61.0% <br /> Construction Contingency $25,000 6.1% <br /> Paving Budget _ $115,000 28.0% <br /> Construction Survey/Testing $4,000 1.0% <br /> Contract Management/Inspection (Paving) $6,000 1.5% <br /> Work Order Total $410,000 100% <br />
