SUBMITTED BY: Darrell Blenniss, Director
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The 2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) included funding for the replacement of water main along a significant portion of River Road. As that project progressed into the bidding phase in June 2023, staff identified an opportunity to coordinate the water main replacement with the installation of an electric duct bank in the same location. As a result, the 2023 bid was canceled and the project was delayed until the two projects could be coordinated to minimize the impact on residents.
In February 2024, Water Utilities issued Bid 23-294, River Road Water Main and Duct Bank Improvements. The project includes water main replacement and electric duct bank installation on River Road from Aurora Avenue to the BNSF right-of-way and on Aurora Avenue from River Road to Wild Cherry Road.
The existing water mains are cast iron pipe and ductile iron pipe installed in the 1960s and 1970s. These water mains will be replaced and upsized to 12-inch ductile iron pipe in accordance with City standards. The installation of an electric duct bank would allow the City to bury existing overhead power lines through this corridor sometime in the future.
