DATE:06-09-26
DEPT:PW
SUBJECT:2024/25 CDBG WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS (S 3RD AVENUE - S
RUSSELL AVENUE TO S OAK AVENUE) AND (S MAPLE AVENUE - S 2ND
AVENUE TO S 4TH AVENUE)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The intent of this project is to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to
replace approximately 1,925 feet of existing 4-inch cast iron water main, originally installed in
1914, with new 8-inch main along S. Maple Avenue and S. 3rd Avenue. The water main in this
location is in need of replacement due to its age and size. While the 4-inch water main was a
standard size in 1914, it does not allow for the delivery of sufficient water volumes for
contemporary firefighting 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:
Description Available Revenue Estimated Expenses
CDBG Funding $ 519,000
Construction (est.) $ 490,516.50
Engineering/Administration (est.) $ 20,000.00
TOTAL $ 519,000 $ 510,516.50
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the preliminary plans and specifications for the 2025/26 CDBG Water System
Improvements (S 3rd Avenue - S Russell Avenue to S Oak Avenue) and (S Maple
Avenue - S 2nd Avenue to S 4th Avenue) project, setting July 8, 2026, as the bid due
date and July 14, 2026, as the date of Public Hearing.
2. Direct staff to revise the project.
3. Do not proceed with this project at this time.
