Item No. 29 <br />TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem & City Council <br />Grayson Path, City Manager <br />Robert Vine, Deputy City Manager <br />FROM: Doug Harris, Assistant City Manager <br />Michael Smith, Director of Public Works <br />SUBJECT: Water Line Looping Projects <br />DATE: December 11, 2023 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Looping water lines is a means to accomplish the elimination of dead-end mains. This is a priority <br />in water distribution systems, for the primary purpose of enhancing water quality, as deterioration <br />of quality due to stagnation in looped systems is less likely to occur. In addition, looping water <br />lines benefits fire protection through improved flow and minimizes water loss by reduction of <br />dead-end main flushing schedules. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: <br />Staff have identified three (3) water line looping projects for consideration: <br />1. Pine Mill road, from west of 42nd Street NE to east of NE Loop 286; $70,998.11 <br />2. SE Loop 286, from east of 6t" Street SE to west of South Collegiate; $290,742.85 <br />3. Gene Stallings Industrial Park, from west of 19"' Street SW to west of SW Loop 286; <br />$146,196.00 <br />The costs for these projects are only estimates, based upon cost of the materials needed for <br />completion. Staff will be working with Charles Edwards, Resource Management & Consulting <br />Co., our third party administrator for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, for <br />advertisement of bids to obtain actual costs. In addition to ARPA funding, the City will use the <br />$250,000.00 reimbursement received from the Lionshead Project to fund these projects. <br />
