Subject: Construction of the District Pipeline Replacement-2004 Project
1. Why this matter is before the board:
District Staff has prepared a set of Bid Documents for construction of the District Pipeline
Replacement-2004 Project.
Approval from the Board of Directors is necessary for two issues related to this project;
1) Approval of the plans and specifications for the project
2) Authorization to advertise for Bids
2. History:
The purpose of this project is to continue the District's ongoing efforts to replace existing
pipelines in poor condition.
3. New information:
There are two major components to this project.
1) Replacement of about 3,800 of leaking pipelines in the Tahoe Donner subdivision.
Funds for this project were included in the Water Department's 2004 budget for this
project. The planned funding source is rate monies.
2) Replacement of about 320 feet of pipeline at State Route 89 and Spring Lane. The need
for this replacement pipeline has been identified in the Master Plan to improve fire flows
to the Gateway Park subdivision. The work is scheduled for May of this year in
coordination with construction of the new traffic circles by the Town of Truckee. Funds
for this project were included in the Water Department's 2004 budget. The planned
