AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution ordering preparation of plans and specifications
for the East-West Water Connection Project.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
As outlined in the City’s Drinking Water Master Plan, the East-West Water System connection is needed to
allow the City more flexibility in providing potable water for: fire protection; peak water demands; ability
to blend water from multiple wells; and overall greater system redundancy.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) aligned budgeting with the Master Plan for design to occur in 2022 to
determine any needed easements so that bidding and construction could occur in 2023. The CIP has
$200,000 set aside for design work in 2022. Preliminary design construction estimates are $3.37 million
without easements, with the 2023 CIP including a budget of $3.25 million. Additional water tower anti-
overfill valves and pressure reducing valves have added slightly to the scope and increased estimates.
