The purpose of the project was to relieve capacity deficiencies on Ward Street from McFadden Avenue to Davit Avenue, and Bolsa Avenue to 200 feet north of Bolsa Avenue. The Ward Street Sewer Line Improvement Project consisted of replacing 820 lineal feet of 8-inch VCP sewer with 210 lineal feet of 10-inch VCP sewer and 514 lineal feet of 12-inch VCP sewer along the same alignment as existing. The scope of work also included replacing five manholes, core-drill two manholes and the re-connection of one sewer lateral.

The contractor, Paulus Engineering Inc., has completed this project in accordance with the plans, specifications and other contract documents.

The project was funded with Sewer Funds and was completed within budget and on schedule.  The retention payment will be released after recordation of the Notice of Completion with the County of Orange.

It is recommended that the Sanitary District Board:

• Accept Project No. 7824 - Ward Street Sewer Line Improvement Project as complete, and authorize the General Manager to execute the Notice of Completion of Public Improvement and Work; and

•  Authorize the Finance Director to release the retention payment when appropriate to do so.
