Approve the capital expenditure of $2,704,000 for Work Order No. 1107917, which includes all design, construction, paving, contract administration, inspection and construction contingency costs for the Magnolia Avenue and Ramona Drive Water Distribution Main Replacement Project. BACKGROUND: On July 11, 2016, the Board of Public Utilities received a report of planned routine infrastructure projects over $500,000 for fiscal year 2016/17. The report provides an overview of the routine infrastructure projects and highlights the importance of these capital improvement projects. Discussion of these projects provided context and familiarity to streamline Board approval of individual project actions throughout the fiscal year. One of the projects discussed was the construction of the Magnolia Avenue and Ramona Drive Water Distribution Main Replacement project. This project is in line with Riverside Public Utilities' (RPU) infrastructure road map and Utility 2.0 and directly benefits RPU water customers within the vicinity of the project in terms of system reliability and improved fire protection. This project consists of approximately 1.5 miles of replacement water main, representing about 26% of RPU's goal for water main replacements during fiscal year 2016/17. This project is part of RPU's ongoing water main replacement program to replace old and high priority leaky mains. The project area consists of existing 8 -inch Matheson Steel pipeline and 4 -inch cast iron pipeline mostly installed between 1916 and 1931. Based on their leak history, age and size, these water pipelines have been identified as high priorities for replacement to enhance system reliability and increase fire flow.
