D89-110 RECOMMENDATION: That the Tustin City Council at their meeting of August 7, 1989 approve Agreement No. 89-110 which provides for the county to adjust certain water valve boxes to final street grades and authorize the Mayor to execute said agreement. BACKGROUND: The County of Orange will be resurfacing certain streets within the unincorporated county area within the Tustin Water Service area. A result of this street resurfacing project will be the need to adjust approximately sixty-five (65) water valve boxes to the new street grades. The county, at the request of the city, has agreed to include these adjustments within their contract, but subject to city reimburse- ment of the cost of said work to the county. The estimated cost for each of these adjustments is $176.00 per location, for a total estimated cost of $11,440.00. It is extremely important that this work be completed in a timely manner so that access to the valves is available at all times. If the water service .crews were to undertake this work, it would have to be done on a time-available basis and would take up to 3 to 4 months to complete. DISCUSSION: The attached agreement is the same format that has been utilized by the city and county on previous water valve box adjustment projects and provides for the county to include the required adjustments within their street surfacing contract. The estimated cost of $176.00 per location is comparable to what we have paid on previous projects and to what we would estimate the current day cost to be. Funding in the amount of $11,440.00 will be charged to the Water Service Operations account number 7315 (mainline maintenance).
