Request Authorization to Seek Proposals for Professional Services for East Rapid City Water Expansion, Project No. 13-2107 / CIP 50964.

City Staff proposes to construct utilities in East Rapid City driven by the need to construct a major expansion of the municipal water distribution system to serve drinking water users with drinking water violations or unserved residents located east of the current City limits including more than 10,670 ft of 16” water main, 18,100 ft of 12” water main, and 10,200 ft of 8” water main. The project includes six (6) separate projects anticipated to be designed under one contract but bid as separate bid packages.
