Summary
Council approved change orders to replace and lower multiple water lines to accommodate box culverts; the work includes upsizing a segment to 8-inch and creating a loop connection; cost not to exceed $180,790 from the utility fund.
Park City Council approved change orders Sept. 9 for the Phase 2 stormwater drainage project that require lowering and replacing several water lines where new box culverts will be installed.
Staff outlined specific locations: East Parkview near Judson, Hartford near Ashford, and Mobile Drive. The proposal would replace and lower water lines at Parkview and Hartford with 4-inch lines and upsize the Mobile Drive segment from 4-inch to 8-inch, creating a loop connection to an existing 8-inch main on Connolly Court.
The nut graf: upsizing the Mobile Drive segment provides system resiliency by creating a loop and replaces aging infrastructure; the work is consistent with the city’s annual water-line replacement program and is proposed to be paid from the utility fund.
Total projected contract cost for the work was presented as $145,590; staff recommended approval of a change order not to exceed $180,790 to be paid from the utility fund. Terry Osborne moved to approve the change order; Jim Schrader seconded and the council voted 7-0.
Staff said the upsized 8-inch connection will eliminate a dead end and improve water coverage. The council approved the funding transfer from the utility fund’s CIP/CEF improvement accounts to cover the unbudgeted additional costs.
