The 2017 Water System Plan identified Hathaway Street Waterline Improvements – N. 6th Ave. to N. 16th Ave. (Project AC-2463) as a priority capital improvement for FY2018/19. During the project design process, the Wastewater Division identified improvements to the system (Project SC-2486) that were also necessary on Hathaway Street along the same limits. To reduce the impact to surrounding property owners and the general public, and to recognize a significant cost savings to the City’s rate payers, the two projects were combined into one project.
The water system improvements to be conducted by the Water Division will be to replace 3,200 linear feet of an 80 year-old 16-inch steel water main, which has deteriorated and requires frequent repairs due to leaks. The Project will also include replacement of all associated water services and fire hydrants.
The Wastewater project adds approximately 2,080 linear feet of new sewer main along a portion of Hathaway Street. In addition, the project also replaces an existing deteriorated clay sewer main, moving it from inaccessible backyards to the public right-of-way along Hathaway Street utilizing 1,250 linear feet of 4-inch sewer pipe.
The City utilized the State bidding process to advertise for bids, four contractors submitted bids, with P. O. W. Contracting submitting the lowest bid of $1,106,021.39. See attached Contract. The project is funded by Water Capital Fund 477 and Wastewater Collections Capital Fund 476. |
