The City Commission approved Project Agreement No. 22-001-ST with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) for the East Sunrise Watermain Replacement – Phase II project at the April 26, 2022 City Commission Meeting. This project proposed the installation of approximately 10,200 linear feet of watermain, including replacement of existing watermains within the area bounded to the east by NW 68th Avenue, to the west by NW 69th Avenue, to the south by NW 26th Street and to the north by NW 30th Street, together with a new watermain along NW 68th Avenue between NW 26th Street and NW 25th Court. The existing watermains within the project area consist of asbestos concrete (AC) piping installed around 1968 and PVC watermains installed around 1992. It is anticipated that most of the watermains will be installed via the close tolerance pipe slurrification (CTPS) method, which is an in-place piping replacement method.
