Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Meridian is requesting bids for replacing 550’ of 6” water main with a new 8” water main between W. 2nd Street and Meridian Road and 650’ sewer main in NW 1st Street.; The City intends to replace approximately 530 lineal feet of existing 6" water main with new 8" water main located in W. Idaho Avenue from NW. 2nd Street to Meridian Road. Approximately 86 lineal feet of new 8" dry line water main was installed across the intersection of NW. 1st Street and W. ldaho Ave. with the 2017 NW 1st Street Sewer Project. The replacement water main will connect to each end of this dry line. At the east end of the project, the new water main will connect to an existing water main constructed as part of the Split Corridor-Phase 2 Project. At the west end of the project, the new water main will connect to an existing 8" main located in NW 2nd Street. Two existing fire hydrants will be reconnected and, if necessary, relocated nearby. Of the fifteen properties immediately adjacent to the project, many have existing meters in front of the sidewalk. These meters are intended to be relocated behind the existing sidewalks and a new service installed from the new main to the relocated meter setters. The majority of all work is anticipated to be in public right-of-way or existing easements. The city will assist in coordinating with property owners to have water meters located on their property immediately outside of the right-of-way.; The CITY intends to extend new collection sewers in NW 1st Street between (West Railroad Street to West Broadway Avenue) and north of West Pine Avenue approximately 200 feet to serve the Boys and Girls Club campus. Overall, new collection sewers will encompass approximately 550 lineal feet. Approximately, 38 services will be re-routed of which 20 are new services from the main. The remaining are connections to existing service stub-outs. Overall the plan includes: 1) Homes fronting NW 1st Street from the Pine Avenue to Railroad Street and including the Boys and Girls Club north of Pine Avenue, 2) Homes fronting the west side of Meridian Road between Pine Avenue and Idaho Avenue as served from sewers in Idaho Avenue or Pine Avenue, 3) Homes fronting Idaho Street one-half block west of NW 1st Street to Meridian Road. This allows the abandonment of the existing alleyway sewer located between NW 1st Avenue and Meridian Road from Pine Avenue to Idaho Avenue. This project conforms to the CITY’s overall objective of decommissioning existing alley sewers in the downtown area.
