Council approves moving forward on Campbell Elementary water‑service loop project
Summary
Council introduced an ordinance to let the city manager contract with ZTech Builders & Excavators for a water‑service improvement at Campbell Elementary, intended to create a loop and reduce outages to the school with a project timeline influenced by a lower-than-expected bid.
An ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter into a contract with ZTech Builders & Excavators for the Campbell Elementary Water Service Improvement Project was presented and moved for passage. City staff said the project will create a loop in the distribution system to reduce water breaks near the middle school and minimize the need to shut off water to the school.
City manager Tapolito (speaker 6) said the bid came in lower than expected and engineers vetted the builder. "This will create a loop so that hopefully we won't have to turn off water to the school ever," he said, adding that the work would help fire suppression and address recurring breaks. Council moved to waive additional readings and advance the ordinance for adoption.
Next steps: if adopted, staff will finalize contracting and schedule work with attention to minimizing interruptions at the school and surrounding neighborhoods.
