FAYETTEVILLE THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ARKANSAS DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE To: Thru From: Date: RE: Fayetteville City Council Mayor Fred Hanna Charles Venable, Public Works Director Don Bunn, Assistant Public Works Director Jim Beavers, City Enginee Wayne Ledbetter, Engineering ati March 18, 1999 West Fork Master Meter Vault Reconstruction Construction Contract with Basic Construction 1. Existing Conditions. The West Fork master meter vault is approximately 2 miles south on Highway 7IB from the Greenland signal light. It is located on the east side of the road in a 20 foot water easement adjacent to the AHTD right of way. The vault walls are in the process of collapsing. The top is a three segment precast concrete slab with a circular access made of two piece cast iron that is not lockable. There is no vehicle access for maintenance nor for reading the meter. 2. Proposed conditions. The new vault will be constructed with reinforced concrete in the footing, walls, and top with appropriate underdrains outside the structure and a drain inside the structure. We will provide additional steel jacks and concrete piers for the existing water pipes and appurtenances for stabilization, during and after construction. The poured in place concrete top will have an aluminum access door with stainless steel attaching hardware. This access will be spring assisted and hinged which will allow the maintenance personnel to open the lockable lid safely. There will be a gravel utility access drive that will enable maintenance to drive up to the structure, be off the highway, and not encroach on anybody's pnvate drive. The AHTD has already approved and permitted this access drive. There is $ 50,000 left in the 1999 budget for this project With a construction bid of $ 37,808 from Basic Construction and a requested construction contingency of $ 5,672 ( total being $ 43,480), this request will leave a remainder of $ 6,520 in the budget We are requesting the contingency monies that may possibly be needed be utilized by Mayoral approval 3.
