DISCUSSION
Throughout the year Utilities Department crews make emergency repairs to water and sewer lines in City
streets. At the time of repair, temporary asphalt patches are placed at the surface of the street where
trenches have been dug. These temporary patches eventually need to be replaced with a stronger and
more permanent asphalt patch. As the number of patches that need repair accumulates over time, it
becomes economical to make these permanent repairs under a single contract.
This project is part of the Water Distribution System Improvements appropriation described on pages E-5
and E-28 of the 1999-01 Financial Plan and pages 78-83 of Appendix B to the Financial Plan.
CONCURRENCES
The Community Development Department has issued a Notice of Exemption for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Engineer's Estimate $58,000
Contingencies at 15% 8,700
Total Project Budget Needed $66,706
There is $66,293.89 remaining in the project budget for trench repairs in 1999-00. Public Works is
recommending that this balance be transferred to the current project budget along with an additional
$406.11 from the Water Distribution System Improvements budget.
