HomeMy WebLinkAboutA024 - Resolution approving preliminary plans and specifications for the 2024/25 CDBG Infrastructure Program (S Russell Avenue - S 4th St to Lincoln Way)ITEM #:27
DATE:09-23-25
DEPT:PW
SUBJECT:2024/25 CDBG INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM (S RUSSELL AVENUE - S
4TH STREET TO LINCOLN WAY)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The intent of this project is to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funding to replace approximately 1,305 feet of existing 4-inch cast iron water main,
originally installed in 1924, with new 8-inch main along S. Russell Avenue from Lincoln
Way to S. 4th Street. The water main in this location is in need of replacement due to its
age and size. While the 4-inch water main was the standard size in 1924, it does not
allow for the delivery of sufficient water volumes for current day fire fighting capacity.
The project will also include installation of new copper water services, some of which
will replace known or suspected lead service lines. These improvements will enhance
water quality, reduce the number of lead service lines, increase firefighting capacity,
and provide direct benefits to a HUD-Identified Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI)
population, Census Tract 10.
City staff has completed plans and specifications for this project with revenue and estimated
expenses as follows:
Funding Source Available
Revenue
Estimated
Expenses
CDBG Funding $ 680,000
Construction (est.) $ 575,908
Engineering/Administration
(est.) $ 80,000
TOTAL $ 680,000 $ 655,908
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the plans and specifications for the 2024/25 CDBG Infrastructure Program (S
Russell Avenue - S 4th Street to Lincoln Way) project, setting October 8, 2025, as the
bid due date and October 14, 2025, as the date of Public Hearing.
2. Direct staff to revise the project.
3. Do not proceed with this project at this time.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By improving the water systems in this local neighborhood, residents will see improved
water quality, firefighting capacity, and reliability that will benefit a HUD-identified Low-
1
and Moderate-Income (LMI) population. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City
Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.
