Requested:
Award bid for the S.H 114 at Dove Road Water Line Reconstruction and
Continental Blvd. Water Line Reconstruction to North Texas Contracting,
Inc.
Background
Information:
Last year a significant waterline leak was discovered at Dove Street and
SH 114.After thorough investigation has been determined that the
existing 18” (inch) waterline at S.H. 114 and Dove failed at a location deep
inside a casing under S.H. 114 making repair impracticable. Replacement
will consist of slipping a 12” (inch) waterline inside the existing 18” (inch)
waterline. The reduction in capacity will not have significant system
impacts.
In October of last year, a water line break was discovered on Continental
Blvd. The existing 12” (inch) waterline on Continental Blvd. failed at a 45
degree bend underneath an existing box culvert, just east of Ridgewood
Circle, making repair of the line impracticable. Replacement will consist of
600 LF of a new, more flexible 12” (inch) waterline that will be bored
parallel to the existing line eliminating the need for 45 degree bends
underneath the box culvert.
