<br /> <br /> <br />C] <br />CII` OF L~ PORTE <br />• I:ITE~-=FZCE ME*iORAND~^iS <br />To: Jack Owen DATE: August 17, 1982 • <br />FROM: .John Joerns .. ~ -• <br />SUBJECT: Water h1ain Extension to TCDC <br />Earlier this year Southern Pacific Railroad expressed an interest in <br />participating in the oversizing of the proposed water main from an 8-inch <br />diameter to a 12-inch diameter main. Unfortunately, the City has recently • <br />received word that Southern Pacific does not plan to participate in the <br />oversizing. <br />Personally, I feel that this is somewhat of a nearsighted decision by <br />Southern Pacific as they will not be able to serve their 296 acre ± tract <br />with an 8-inch mater line (they will again be notified of this situation). <br />Since this northti~~est corner of La Porte is not properly served with <br />• potable water it would be of extreme benefit for the City of La Porte to <br />participate in the oversizing. <br />The estimated cost of oversizing is x68,450.00 ~fihich includes the <br />additional engineering fees and a 10% construction contingency. The project <br />will not be bid until all the easements have been executed and returned. <br />This will most likely take us forward into fiscal year 1982-1983. I strongly <br />recormend that this item be presented for Council's consideration during <br />sessions relating to the fiscal year 1982-1983 budget. <br />JJ/st <br /> <br />~~ <br />ohn Jlaerns ~ --~ <br />• <br />
