Subject: Acceptance of Project No. CP1378000 – Woodbury Road, Bowen Street to Taft Street Water Improvements Project, as complete. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the Garden Grove City Council to accept Project No. CP1378000 – Woodbury Rd., Bowen St. to Taft St. Water Improvements Project as complete, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Notice of Completion of Public Improvements and Work.
BACKGROUND
The City’s 2020 Water Master Plan Update has identified 228 miles of AC pipeline installed in the 1950s to be replaced under the Water Main Replacement Program, as these pipes are nearing the end of their design useful life. At the same time, the Master Plan recommends that the City target smaller diameter mains in its replacement program, and prioritize areas with lowest fire flow availability.
In considering the above criteria, the Woodbury Rd., Bowen St. to Taft St. Water Improvements Project area was selected. The project consists of constructing approximately 2,500 feet of new 10-inch and 600 feet of new 8-inch C-900 polyvinylchloride (PVC) water mains and the abandonment of existing undersized 6-inch diameter asbestos cement pipe (ACP) water mains in the City of Garden Grove. The scope of work also includes furnishing fittings and appurtenances, trenching, shoring, backfilling, compaction, asphalt repair & replacement, street replacement and pipe disinfection & testing. It includes the construction of approximately five (5) fire hydrant assemblies, 68 water service connections and eight (8) connections to the existing water system.
DISCUSSION
The contractor, All Cities Engineering, Inc., has completed this project in accordance with the plans, specifications and other contract documents.
