Summary

The council approved a $1,135,688.32 contract with Strong Excavation LLC to replace an aging 16-inch steel transmission line on 700 South that staff said is failing and leaks frequently; resurfacing will follow next summer.

Tooele City Council approved a $1,135,688.32 contract with Strong Excavation LLC on May 7 to replace a 16-inch transmission waterline on 700 South between SR-36 and Coleman.

Public Works Director Jamie Grandpre told the council the steel line in that segment is old and experiences repeated leaks; staff described the pipe as “one leak away” from a major failure. The project will replace the line and include resurfacing of the road segment after the work is completed.

Grandpre said the city will likely perform a mill-and-overlay on the roadway next summer after the new line is installed to restore the road surface. Council approved the resolution authorizing the agreement by unanimous vote.
