Council approves $5.27 million waterline replacement for Greenwood Acres subdivision
Summary
Council awarded a $5,274,300 contract to GS Construction to replace aging water mains in Greenwood Acres; the project is budgeted and backed by a Jifa loan, and staff said the work will be phased to keep water service active.
The City Council voted 5-0 to award a $5,274,300 contract to GS Construction to replace aging water lines in the Greenwood Acres subdivision.
City staff said the subdivision's piping dates to the 1960s and is substandard, noting the project has been planned for several years and is budgeted with a Jifa loan in place to finance the replacement. The contract from GS Construction was the low proposal among six bidders.
Staff described the project scope as replacing main lines throughout Greenwood Acres Drive and side streets, including installing new service lines to meters. John said the work will be phased so the city can maintain water service and that the city will perform outreach to residents; he agreed with a council suggestion to post signs and provide contact information for questions. A councilmember asked how disruptive construction would be; John said the city will limit interruptions and provide notices.
A motion to approve GS Construction for $5,274,300 passed unanimously. The meeting record did not include a detailed construction schedule or estimated completion date; staff said they intend to work slowly and coordinate with residents, and that the project will take some time.
