COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Lodi Avenue Wastewater
Pipe Replacement, 200 Feet East of Crescent Avenue to Hutchins Street
MEETING DATE: July 6, 1994
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of replacing approximately 925 linear feet of
8 -inch wastewater pipe and abandoning the existing pipe. The
existing pipeline, installed prior to 1950, is a combination of clay
and concrete pipes. The clay pipe may have been broken during
installation or by subsequent construction projects on Lodi Avenue and the concrete pipe has been
weakened and broken over time due to the corrosive nature of sewage. The concrete pipe section, no
longer necessary to the operation of the system, will be filled with concrete and abandoned in place.
Filling the pipe with concrete should stop any future pavement settlement similar to the one that
occurred earlier this year when a section of the concrete pipe collapsed. Due to the shallow depth of
this line, the specifications require the new wastewater pipe to be either extra -strength PVC plastic or
ductile iron pipe.
A recommendation regarding additional funding for this project, if required, will be made at the time of
award.
