Analysis:
This water main replacement project is part of the Aging Water Main Replacement Program identified in the 2016 Water Master Plan that recommends annual replacement of old asbestos cement pipelines. The water facilities located in the alley east of Alabama between Memphis and Knoxville (CC-1716 and CC-1717) are 4-inch diameter asbestos cement pipelines constructed in 1967 and are need of replacement. This project will replace approximately 630 lineal feet of pipeline with 6-inch Polyvinyl Chloride Pipeline (PVC).
Since construction activities will likely further degrade the alley pavement condition, this project will repave and grade the alley to improve pre-existing drainage issues and aesthetics after construction of the water main. The proposed project will enhance the City’s water system redundancy and reliability and provide greater fire protection to the area.
The Engineer’s cost estimate for CC-1716 (Alabama/Lincoln/Knoxville) and CC-1717 (Alabama/Memphis/Lincoln) is $900,000.
