DISCUSSION
Throughout the year,City 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 will repair
106 trenches throughout the City. A complete list of all locations is shown in pages 6 through 8 of the
Special Provisions.
This project is part of the Water Distribution System Improvements appropriation described on pages
D44 and D45 of the 2001-03 Financial Plan and pages 115-119 of Appendix B to the Financial Plan.
CONCURRENCES
The City's Community Development Department has given this project a Notice of Exemption.
