BACKGROUND: The construction of the Goodman/Royce Distribution Main Replacement Project is part of the on-going water main replacement program to replace old and high priority leaky mains. The project area consists of existing 4-inch and 6-inch cast iron water mains that were installed in the 1950's and 1960's and have experienced several leaks. The work will entail the construction of approximately 6,000 linear feet of eight-inch ductile iron pipe, 14 fire hydrants, 136 service tie-overs, and nine system connections. The work identified will be constructed by the Water Division's field forces. Once the new water pipelines are installed, Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) will be responsible for standard trench repaving per the Public Works standard. Near the end of pipeline construction, staff will solicit paving bids for paving the trench area through the Public Utilities Paving Contractor Panel. A budgetary estimate for the paving work has been included in this authorization.
