• Sanitary sewer cured-in-place pipe project contract award — $250,000.
Utilities Manager David Bries requested a contract award not to exceed $250,000 for the sanitary sewer cured-in-place pipe project contract bid award, a project focused on Townsend Avenue from Poplar Street to Main Street in preparation for the Colorado Department of Transportation’s planned resurfacing of Townsend Avenue over the next couple of years. Bries said that city utility crews conduct routine sewer line inspections to identify critical sewers that are candidates for Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP).
