Title
Award of Contract to Quality Enterprise Inc. to Replace the Potable, Sewer, and Reclaimed Water Mains Attached to the Bridge on Collier Boulevard at the Bluebonnet Waterway in the Amount of $2,105,419.00 - Jeffrey E. Poteet, General Manager, Water & Sewer Department

To minimize service interruptions during this critical work, temporary bypass mains will be strategically constructed. This approach is crucial to maintaining a continuous and uninterrupted supply of water and wastewater services for the community.
The comprehensive scope of the contract includes pipeline demolition, new pipeline construction, modification of existing bridge pipe supports, installation of valves and fittings, construction of temporary bypass mains for the wastewater force main and irrigation main, detours and maintenance of traffic, thorough pipeline testing, clearance for service, meticulous restoration efforts, and all other miscellaneous work required for the successful completion of the project.
