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. Staff Recommendation. The Staff recommends that the Council approve the construction
contract with Basic Construction Company and the project contingency.

RE: 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 7I8 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 private 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. Staff Recommendation. The Staffrecommends that the Council approve the construction
contract with Basic Construction Company and the project contingency.
