REGULAR AGENDA
5. Consider, Discuss, and Possibly Approve Taking Bids For Replacement of Water and
Wastewater Lines on Jones, Smith, Kirkland, and Sims Streets.
City Manager Mike Brice advised that a few months ago we signed an Interlocal
Agreement with the County to resurface those streets. Before we do the resurfacing we
would like to replace the lines that are under the streets,and move them out from
underneath the streets where we can. This would prevent having to cut the street in the
future to do repairs on the lines.We have fast tracked the process and the Engineering
is done.If approved tonight we would go out to bid in April. We are trying to time it so
we can get the County to resurface the streets before the end of the year.
A motion was made by Councilman Bilyeu.Seconded by Councilman Stephens to
approve taking bids for replacement of water and wastewater lines on Jones, Smith,
Kirkland, and Sims Streets. The Motion Carried Unanimously (5-0)
