1300 EAST WATER FACILITY UPGRADES

The contract has been routed through the City and we are currently waiting for the contractors bonds and insurance so that Risk Management Division can sign off on the contract.

Granite Tank Replacement Project

Pipe is being installed under the water tank.  The first concrete was placed around the under drain piping on the south east area.  Excavation and shoring continues.  The contractor will begin forming for the footings in a couple of weeks.   The trench is more than 20 feet deep so the installation of the 20" pipe is slow.  The area residents have been notified that South Little Cottonwood Road will be closed during construction beginning June 25th.  A detour for traffic has been set up through North Little Cottonwood Road.  It will be open for local access.  For questions on road closures call 1-800-292-3557 from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  Thank you for your patience.

Historic Sandy City Street Light Project

The project is close to completion.  Much of what remains is testing and hook up.  Those who are interested may want to drive the Historic Sandy area and let us know if there are additional areas you may want light.  Remember, new lights are purposely left on during the day for several days for testing and to allow burning-in of the globes.  This extends the life of the globe, verifies proper installation and does not extrude any extra costs to the city.  The contractor is now installing lights on Wasatch Blvd.

Zone 5 Water Line Project

The road is completely paved and striped.  Collars for man holes, valves, and survey monuments are being completed.  We plan to be on line with METRO (Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy) within one month.

Middle Fork of Dry Creek Project

The contractor is still installing pipe in Seven Springs Drive.  Once they reach Wasatch Boulevard the pipeline will run south for about 1500 feet and then turn east up to the location for the new diversion/inlet box.  Existing utilities continue to be in conflict with the pipeline alignment.  However,the contractor is working through those issues.

Canyon Village Well House Addition Project

The bid is set for Thursday July 10, 2008 at 3:00 PM.  We have had pretty good interest in this project so the bids should be very competitive.

Little Cottonwood Well House

This project includes a new pump and motor, along with construction of a replacement building to house the well equipment.  We have issued a Notice of Award to Bird Construction.  We will now begin routing the contract for the appropriate signatures.

Storm Water Master Plan and Rate Study Update Project

We presented the draft of the Master Plan Update and Rate Study to the Public Utilities Advisory Board on Thursday, June 19th.  A few of the questions and comments prompted some minor changes to the report.  We are working out those requests and changes and will be incorporating them into the final report.

9000 South Environmental Assessment

We held a coordination meeting with the consultants to review the comments received from the initial comment period for the project.  The consultants are now compiling those comments and addressing each in a report.  The report should be ready in about two weeks.

Metro Booster Pumping Station Upgrade

The bid documents will be ready on Tuesday, June 17th.  The project is currently being advertised and the bid date is scheduled for July 8th at 3:00 p.m.
