RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of Public Utilities: 1.

Approve the capital expenditure of $2,017,000 for Work Order No. 1422097, which includes all design, construction, paving, contract administration, inspection and construction contingency costs for the Indiana Avenue and Mary Street Water Distribution Main Replacement Project. BACKGROUND: The construction of the Indiana Avenue and Mary Street Water Distribution Main Replacement 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 4 -inch cast iron pipeline and 4 -inch asbestos cement pipeline installed in the 1940's. Based on their leak history, age and size, these water pipelines are high priorities for replacement to enhance system reliability and increase fire flow. This project will increase the capacity of the existing distribution pipelines to eliminate their dependence on a parallel transmission pipeline to achieve the required fire flow. 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 0.7 miles of replacement water main, representing about 27% of RPU's goal for water main replacements during fiscal year 2017/18. The following table summarizes the water main replacement projects that have been approved for fiscal year 2017/18:
