THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The East Portage Avenue Bridge water main lining project encountered worse‑than‑expected pipe conditions and custom service connections, causing extra contractor time and restoration work. Total costs rose from $130,000 to about $148,200, and the Commission approved an $18,200 transfer from Water Capital Reserves to fully fund the project. With lining now complete, vendors can use this as evidence that the City is actively rehabilitating bridge‑crossing mains and may have similar lining and restoration needs elsewhere.
Additional costs came from one extra day of Advantage Relining work plus fittings, compaction testing, HMA patching, and concrete restoration.
