In <br /> order to ensure that this gas pipeline will not become further damaged and as a result unable to supply <br /> natural gas to the wells, staff has selected a consultantfrom RPU's Consultant Panel to design a replacement <br /> gas pipeline. The work will involve the design of approximately 2,700 feet of replacement 4-inch gas pipeline, <br /> including all related incidentals and appurtenances. <br /> After the design is complete and the project has been competitively bid, staff will return to the Board <br /> requesting authorization to approve the construction expenditure and award a construction contract. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> The total capital expenditure for Work Order No. 1112765 is estimated to be $150,000 which includes all <br /> consultant engineering services necessary to perform the work. <br /> Funds are budgeted and available in the Public Utilities'Water Facilities Rehabilitation Account No.6230000- <br /> 470803. <br /> Prepared by: Kevin S.
