RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Public Utilities approve Work Order No. 1603765 in the total amount of $1,128,000 for all engineering, construction, paving and construction contingency costs for the Garfield and Overland Water Main Replacement Project (Phase 1). BACKGROUND: The Garfield and Overland Water Main Replacement Project (Phase 1) is part of Riverside Public Utilities' (RPU) ongoing water main replacement program to replace high priority water mains deemed to be at end of it useful life. The project area consists of existing 6 -inch cast iron water mains that were installed in the 1950's. Based on their leak history, age and size, these water pipelines have been identified as high priority pipelines for replacement to enhance the reliability of the water system. This project is in line with RPU's infrastructure road map and Utility 2.0 and the commitment to infrastructure reliability in the Riverside 2025 strategic plan and directly benefits RPU water customers within the vicinity of the project in terms of system reliability and fire flow. DISCUSSION: The work generally entails the construction of approximately 2,900 linear feet of 8 -inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, 53 water services, nine (9) fire hydrants and eight (8) system connections, along with all necessary fittings, appurtenances and related incidental work. The new water facilities will be installed according to RPU's current standards.
