Fraser — The Fraser City Council on Monday approved a contract to replace aging water mains on Crestwood, Huber, Northwood and Snow streets, awarding the work to D'Angelo Brothers Inc. for $1,358,888.
AEW recommended the low bidder, noting D'Angelo Brothers’ local experience with lead service replacements and past AEW projects. Council also established a construction contingency of 10 percent ($135,000) and authorized AEW for contract administration services estimated at 15 percent (about $203,000). The city indicated a budget amendment and a carryforward of funds will be required to complete the project.
Councilors asked whether any schedule conflicts or priority issues would affect residents; staff indicated the work would be managed and communicated locally. The total authorization was stated in the motion not to exceed $1,696,888, which includes the contract amount plus contingency and administration fees.
Why it matters: Replacing water mains is intended to improve system reliability and reduce emergency repairs and lead‑service risks in the neighborhoods listed.
What’s next: Staff will finalize contract paperwork, complete the budget amendment and schedule the work. Residents on Crestwood, Huber, Northwood and Snow streets should expect construction staging and notifications before work begins.
