APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER #1 - NORTH LOUISVILLE SEWER LINE Hundley explained that the construction and installation of the North Louisville Interceptor Sewer was proceeding on schedule. The contractor has installed the sewer line from the Wastewater Treatment Plant to South Boulder Road. The original bid specifications specified that South Boulder Road was to be crossed with open cut construction and temporary roadways installed adjacent to the current Road. The project bid early in 1986 identified a no disruption of traffic to occur. I~ue to the high cost on the original bid, the City eliminated this more expensive item of the work from the rebid project. Favorable bids were received on the rebid project and the City asked the contractor to evaluate additional costs to jack and bore the So. Boulder Road crossing rather than open cut it. This method provides much greater safety to the motoring public and exposes the contractor and the City to much less liability, and would also eliminate the inconvenience and disruption to traffic that is inherent in an open construction with temporary roadway repairs. The cost to cross South Boulder Road with a jack and bore operation versus an open cut technique is $3,095. Staff recommends the approval of this Change Order to the North Louisville Interceptor Sewer project. Mayor Fauson moved that Change Order #1 to the North Louisville Interceptor Sewer project be approved. Szymanski seconded. Unanimous. AUTHORIZATION TO COMPLETE AGREEMENT - HOWARD DITCH DIVERSION Hundley explained that in May 1986, the City of Louisville made an agreement with the Howard Ditch Company through an adjudication proceeding to change the point of diversion of 36.744 shares or 13.2278 cfs of water. Safe yield of the described share is 357 acre feet per year. In order to utilize the water, return flow measuring equipment (i.e. valves, meter, piping) must be installed downstream from the Howard Ditch headgate. Return flow piping is designed to transfer .73 cfs from the Howard Ditch to South Boulder Creek per the transfer decree. In order to facilitate construction, certain fees must be paid to the City of Boulder in the amount of approximately $6,300. Staff recommends approval of an easement with the City of Boulder. Hundley explained that some of the conditions within the agreement were extreme and staff would continue to negotiate with Boulder on certain items. However, Hundley stated that the agreement 6
