Project Initiation Memo
TO: Ben Siegel, City Manager
FROM: Eric Bauman, Assistant Utilities Director
Prepared by: Mike Marquis, P.E., Associate Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: High Priority Sewer Repair on Paseo Alto Plano
Description: Sewer line segment B10-134 to B10-133 on Paseo Alto Plano was
identified and included in the 2020 sewer rehabilitation project for root
removal and sealing of lateral lines at the main line interface. The sewer
rehabilitation project was delayed and work on this sewer segment is now a
high priority. Root growth has obstructed one customer lateral, and other
laterals have root growth that must be removed and the lateral sealed to
prevent obstruction and ensure proper draining of waste. Staff
recommends removal of the roots and installation of top-hat style liners at
the sewer laterals in question. E Stewart and Associates Inc. can complete
this work right away to ensure that the City provides a high level of sewer
service to adjacent customers. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City
Manager approve a letter Agreement for Paseo Alto Plano sewer repairs
with E. Stewart and Associates, Inc. at a cost not to exceed $20,110
(includes 10% contingency).
