8. AUTHORIZE RFP: PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE\nWATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT ON HALSTEAD CIRCLE, HIDALGO\nAVENUE, AND MAIN STREET – F2M23-30, RFP2M23-8\nThe Utilities Department regularly installs water mains to replace aging pipelines and to\nimprove system reliability and water quality. The six-inch cast iron water main pipes on\nHalstead Circle between North and South Vega Street and on Hidalgo Avenue between\nMain Street and Alhambra Road were installed in the 1920’s. The four-inch cast iron water\nmain pipe on Main Street between Champion Place and Hidalgo Avenue was installed in\n1910. The water main pipes have a history of breaks. These water main lines should be\nreplaced to improve flow and firefighting capabilities in an emergency. This project would\nreplace the existing four-inch and six-inch cast iron water mains with new 8-inch ductile\niron water mains.\nRecommended Action: City Council approve the distribution of a Request for\nProposals for Professional Engineering Design Services for the Water Main Replacement\nProject on Halstead Circle, Hidalgo Avenue, and Main Street with proposals due no later\nthan 4:00 p.m. on April 13, 2022; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to\nfinalize Council’s action.
