RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the final plans and specifications and authorize the publication of a notice inviting bids for the Westwood Avenue Sewer Main Extension Project, PZ-230 (Project).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
There is an existing 8-inch sewer main (subject to an easement) located in the backyards of the properties located between Westwood Avenue and Midway Avenue, north of Washington Boulevard.
The existing terminal manhole is in the backyard of a single‐family residence at 3866 Westwood Avenue. Currently, the sewer lateral for the neighbor to the south at 3870 Westwood Avenue is aligned under the backyard of 3866 Westwood Avenue and connected to the sewer mainline.
This Project will extend the sewer main line to the south and a new more accessible maintenance manhole will be installed in the backyard at 3870 Westwood Avenue.
As part of this Project, the City has obtained a new wider easement (3866 Westwood Avenue and 3870 Westwood Avenue) for the sewer main on the properties within the Project area. An existing masonry wall between 3866 Westwood Avenue and 3865 Midway Avenue that is directly over the existing sewer main will need to be demolished and new masonry walls constructed in its place. The agreement for the construction of block wall, right of entry and release of liability was prepared by the City Attorney’s office and has been executed between the property owners (3866 Westwood Avenue and 3865 Midway Avenue) and the City.
MNS Engineers completed the civil engineering design plans through the City Council approved on-call consultant contract.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
This Project is approved in the FY 17/18 CIP budget.
