AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: DJG Reviewed By: A. Carlson Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to approve for the emergency bypass of the watermain at <br />the Coffee Bridge. <br /> <br />2. Background / Summary. On April 13, 2023 the utilities crew <br />attempted to repair a watermain break at the Coffee Bridge. Through that <br />work we discovered the break is on a section of pipe under the channel <br />putting it in a place that is unsafe to attempt to fix. Staff developed a <br />plan to replace the section of watermain by boring in a new pipe under <br />the channel. While that plan is refined, the necessary permits secured <br />and quotes received we will install a temporary bypass to maintain <br />service to the area north of the bridge and allow us to shut off the leaking <br />pipe. The bypass is also needed to maintaining water service while the <br />new main is installed. <br /> <br />3. Cost. The city solicited quotes for the bypass work. Only one quote <br />was received. It is from Geislinger and Sons for $23,000. The estimated <br />cost for the new watermain installation is ~$160,000. <br /> <br />4. Funding. This project will be funded through the Water Enterprise <br />Fund. The projected end of year balance for this fund is $102,642 <br /> <br />5. Staff Recommendation. I recommend approval of the by-pass project <br />by Geislinger and Sons for $23,000.00 <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to accept the quote for bypass from for Geislinger and Sons for <br />$23,000.00 to install a bypass watermain at the Coffee Bridge. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item No.: 9 Date: April 24, 2023 <br />Item Description: Emergency Watermain Bypass at the Coffee Bridge <br />Presenter: D.J.
