Background
The City operates and maintains an extensive domestic water distribution system, including approximately 140 miles of water pipelines. In evaluating the condition of the water system, staff references the Water Master Plan, which provides data such as age, capacity demands, and maintenance needs. The Plan also identifies the highest priority deficiencies for repair or replacement.
For this project, portions of the system selected for replacement include those having deficient fire flow capacity due to pipe size and locations having severe operations and maintenance issues. Addressing pipe size and operational deficiencies will resolve issues relating to fire flow and residual pressure, which minimizes potential for negative impacts to public health and the environment. Proposed operational improvements and valve additions will also minimize the number of residents impacted by main breaks allowing for more isolated main shutdown during emergency repairs.
It is worth noting that a portion of the water main replacement work including the full roadway pavement resurfacing is located on 12th Street between Meadows Avenue and Peck Avenue and 17th Street between Meadows Avenue and Rowell Avenue, presents unique challenges in coordinating traffic control, work hours and minimizing the impact to Meadows Elementary School. It is also worth noting that a portion of the work is located near the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard, where there is heavy vehicular traffic.
The Cycle 1 Water Infrastructure Improvement Project consists of excavation, installation of ductile iron pipe (DI), installation of valves, curb to curb pavement rehabilitation, required ADA compliant curb ramp replacements, and all appurtenant work as shown on the plans and delineated in the specifications. Many of the street segments within the project area will be resurfaced for the entire width of the roadway.
The Project includes over 3200 linear feet of six inch and eight inch Ductile Iron Pipe, curb to curb pavement restoration, and 19 valves at the following 6 locations in the City with a location map attached.
- 12th Street from Meadows Avenue to Peck Avenue (Including Street Resurfacing)
- 23rd Street from Redondo Avenue to Herrin Avenue (Including Street Resurfacing)
- Manhattan Beach Boulevard from Pacific Avenue to Sepulveda Boulevard
- 17th Street from Meadows Avenue to Rowell Avenue (Including Street Resurfacing)
- 22nd Street from Redondo Avenue to Herrin Avenue (Including Street Resurfacing)
- Herrin Avenue from 22nd Street to 23rd Street (Including Street Resurfacing)
