PURPOSE:
To award the above referenced project, which consists of repairs to sanitary sewers and sanitary sewer services at various locations throughout the City.

The sewer repair locations included in this project are scheduled for repaving in 2015, we would like to begin construction this season to avoid conflicts with new paving operations.
