Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Resource International, Inc. in the amount of $177,000.00, for professional engineering services for the Sylvan Avenue Area Water Line Improvements Project, Division of Power and Water Contract No. 1130.

The purpose of this project is to construct necessary improvements to the water distribution system in the Sylvan Avenue Area. The improvements identified in the scope of work will replace undersized water mains that currently provide low pressures and insufficient fire flows. The improvements will also replace mains that have high break histories and require frequent maintenance. This project includes seven individual sites located at North Sylvan Avenue, Southampton Drive, Algonquin Avenue, Brinker Avenue, Valleyview Drive, Ridge Avenue, Joan Road, and Alberta Street, for a total of approximately 9,800 feet of water line ranging in size from 2-inch to 8-inch diameter.
