The 2020 Water Master Plan identified the Alwood Avenue – Anthony Avenue Water Improvement Project as high priority due to fire flow deficiencies. The construction of 4,200 linear feet of 8 and 12 inch diameter pipe will relieve fire flow capacity deficiencies in the areas along Alwood Avenue from Gilbert Street to end of street, Anthony Avenue from Josephine Street to Magnolia Street and Acacia Avenue from Josephine Street to Magnolia Street.  System improvements also included new fire hydrant assemblies, 112 water meters and service laterals and valves.

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

The project was funded with Water 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 City Council:

• Accept Project CP1285000 – Alwood Avenue - Anthony Avenue Water Improvement Project as complete, and authorize the City 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.
