Michael D. Holley General Manager / W a ter Utili ty Manager 3. NEW INFORMAT ION The W ater Department was conducted fiel d inspection s and evaluati o ns of all of the water system faciliti es al ong Donner Pass R oad from the McIver Un dercrossi ng to Spring Street. The water mai n along this alignment was repl aced in 1985. It is believed that the existing service l atera l s and meter boxes were not replaced at that time but were reconnected to the new mai n. Over the past 30 years, a number of th e service laterals and meter bo xes have been repl aced/upgraded as buildi ngs have been r edeveloped and renovate d in this area. The W ater Department has identi fied ei ght locati ons where meter boxes, servi ce l ateral s or both should be repl aced before the final streetscape improvements are constructed. The W a ter Department has discussed this iss ue with the Town of Truckee and it was agreed that the most co st effecti ve sol u tion woul d be to incl ude replacement of these water faci l i ties in the co ntract documents for t he Town’s uti l i ty undergroundi ng project. The To wn is final i zing the bidding documents for the project and antici pates advertisi ng for bids i n early May 2015. This water system work wi l l be paid for by the Distri ct’s W ater Department. The Town has developed a draft agreement governing this work. A final agreement wi l l be presented to the District’s Board for approval once the bi d opening ha s occurred and the actual bi d prices have been determi ned. 4. FISCAL IMPACT The estimated cost for the water system work is between $30,000 and $50,000. The funding source for thi s work i s the W ater Depa rtment’s Capi tal Repl acement Fund. 5.
