Council approves sidewalk replacement contract and engineering study for aging Aquaca main
Summary
Council awarded $88,552.90 to Miller and Son Construction for sidewalk replacement projects and approved a $35,300 agreement with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly to develop a phased inspection and monitoring plan for the 31‑mile Aquaca water transmission main.
City staff recommended awarding the miscellaneous sidewalk replacement contract to Miller and Son Construction for $88,552.90 to repair noncompliant sidewalks and curb ramps at identified locations, with construction expected to begin in summer and a 25‑working‑day contract duration. "Funding for the project is available in the city gas tax fund," the manager said, and the council approved the award on a 6–0 roll call.
Separately, the council approved a $35,300 engineering agreement with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly to develop a long‑term monitoring and inspection plan for the roughly 31‑mile Aquaca transmission main (installed in 1958). Staff described the line as nearing an age that requires inspection and estimated full replacement could cost tens to hundreds of millions; the phased approach will identify critical segments, prepare an RFP, and evaluate valve installation for reliability improvements.
