WATER BOARD AGENDA MEMO
To: Water Board, City Administrator
From: John Powell, Public Works Director
Department: Engineering
Subject: 2025 Street Improvement Trunk Watermain
Meeting: Water Board - Apr 28 2025
INTRODUCTION:
At the January 27, 2025, Water Board meeting, the Board discussed the watermain element of the
2025 Street Improvement project. After discussion of trunk watermain options in this area; the
Board directed staff to upsize the main on Sunnyside Drive, and on Centennial Drive to the east
project limit, to 12-inch diameter. The remainder of the water main will be 8-inch per previous
Board direction. Costs are now available for the oversizing.
DISCUSSION:
At the April 21, 2025, City Council meeting, the construction contract for this project was awarded to
McNamara Contracting. Based on the McNamara Contracting bid, and assuming an additional
18% for engineering, surveying, testing, etc., an estimate of the proposed funding sources for the
project are as follows:
G.O. Bonds $ 1,520,000
Sewer Fund $ 37,045
Storm Water Fund $ 320,170
Water Fund $ 796,310
Trunk Water Fund $ 255,390
Total $ 2,928,915
The city's 2014 Assessment / Improvement Policy includes these definitions:
Water Lateral: Water mains 8-inch or less in diameter and buried to a depth of 7-feet or less,
hydrants, leads, gate valves, and all appropriate appurtenances on equivalent costs of
oversized mains.
Water Trunk: Water main costs that are not considered water lateral costs.
There is about 1,450 feet of 12-inch trunk main on this project; therefore, the Trunk Water Fund is
identified as a funding source.
BUDGET IMPACT:
As noted above, the expected contribution by the Trunk Water Fund is $255,390.

ACTION REQUESTED:
Recommend the expenditure of Trunk Water Funds in the amount of $255,390 for the 2025 Street
Improvement project.

Addition. The 12-inch trunk watermain installed to the west edge of the 3rd Addition on 218th Street

oversized mains.
Water Trunk: Water main costs that are not considered water lateral costs.
There is about 1,262 feet of 12-inch trunk main on this project; therefore, the Trunk Water Fund is
