MEMORANDUM

MEMO TO D. Riecken
Acting City Engineer

MEMO FROM: S. Brown
Ass't Operations Manager

SUBJECT: Proposed Changes to Lobb Avenue Watermain Project

Recommendations:

It ig recommended that several changes be made inorder to improve the
final result of the Lobb Avenue watermain project; and that;

The City replace all of the existing water services to property line,
realign the proposed watermain to the present centerline of the roadway and
strip the existing roadway; replacing the section of roadway by repaving the
newly constructed portion.

Background and Comments:

Upon reviewing the condition of the water services on Lobb Avenue, it has
been identified that the condition of the services are in poor shape. Tha
1/2" services are 25 to 30 years old and show severe indications of corrosion.

The off-setting costs of making the proposed changes now, would save the
City of the longer tera.

l. The water services would certainly be dug up in short order after
completing Lobb Avenue resulting in a poor job initially and poor
Public relations with local residents.

For minimal costs now; the City can affordably repave the flush
coated roadway which is in poor condition.

Substantial savings will be made by reducing the area of boulevard
restoration minimizing the impact on the local residents.
