Summary

As part of the improvements, existing County water distribution mains and gravity sewer mains will be replaced or relocated to accommodate the proposed Project improvements.
The County is required to relocate or replace all utilities in conflict with the City’s proposed project area. Utilizing the City’s construction contractor will limit disruption to area residents resulting in project efficiencies for all stakeholders.
The attached JPA also provides the funding mechanism for the County to pay the City in advance of commencement of project construction activity, and further identifies both County and City responsibility throughout project duration.
