It is recommended that this cross connection to be eliminated and the manhole be rehabilitated in order to provide water proofing, sealing, structural reinforcement, and corrosion protection.
Because of the unique circumstances and challenges associated with this project, City Staff opted to issue a Request For Proposal, rather than a typical Invitation To Bid. This allows the proposing party to recommend and implement construction methods to resolve the issues at this location.
