RE: Proposed Resolution No. 19075

The City Council awarded a contract for the construction of street paving and drainage
improvements to 18th Street from Fort Worth Avenue to Stilwell Boulevard to McInnis

installation of two (2) insert-a-valves on 19th Street for an additional $43,365.57. The Water
Department will pay for the additional work since this was unforeseen damage, and was to
enhance the reliability of the distribution system and protect public health and safety.
