Amendments
1. John Quincy Adams Road, COT-Water Dept., (Amend), SE73-2386 The field report states that this project received an Order of Conditions on 5-5-09 for the replacement of the water storage tank and work done to Dever Wells #1 and 2. This amendment is to add the following work to the existing Order of Conditions: 1. Install approximately 3,500 linear feet of 12” ductile iron (DI) water main along two existing access roads that connect Well 1 and Well 2 to the new storage tank and 2. Install a chemical feed facility to treat water. This will be interior work located within the pedestal of the new water tank. The proposed DI water main will replace portions of existing unlined cast-iron (CI) and asbestos cement (AC) water main. The existing water mains will be abandoned in place. MR
recommends that the TCC approve the proposed additional work and issue an Amendment to the existing Order of Conditions to include the previous general and special conditions. This does not change the three-year work period of the original Order of Conditions which will end on 5-5-12. Motion to approve the amendment, RC, second DB, so voted.
