Council approves $68,000 valve replacement and water-main work at Hickory and Ash
Summary
Village Engineer Andrew Rudd recommended replacing a defective valve and about 100 feet of water main during the Hickory Street bridge construction; Council approved up to $68,000 for the work including contingency.
Village Engineer Andrew Rudd told the Three Oaks Village Council on May 13 that a defective water valve near Hickory and Ash Streets is located beneath roadway areas currently under construction for the Hickory Street bridge project. Rudd recommended replacing roughly 100 feet of water main while bridge-related work is already underway to avoid future excavation and additional costs.
Council approved the Hickory and Ash Street valve replacement project with expenditures not to exceed $68,000, including contingency funds. Council members discussed the potential for unknown underground conditions and the need for contingency funding. The motion passed with all five members present voting aye.
The minutes do not include a contractor name or a detailed project schedule; Village staff were authorized to proceed with the replacement work and manage contingencies within the approved authorization.
