Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Council approve as presented.
Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation
The Board of Public Utilities reviewed this item at their Regular Meeting on July 22, 2026 and recommends that Council approve as presented.
Body
Cured in Place Piping IFB 26-58 is to clean six conduits, each about 1,300 feet in length and then clean/seal the manhole in the bottom of the canyon. The conduits go from East Jemez Road to a manhole behind the medical center helipad. The cleaned conduits will be lined with a fiberglass reinforced resin to encapsulate the asbestos containing conduit.
Alternatives
DPU will require someone to clean the conduit of debris that has collected in there over the years and plugged the conduit. DPU would then have crews work with the existing Conduit and wear Personal Protective Equipment. This is not recommended because the asbestos conduits will not be encapsulated.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
Budget revision required to carry over $1,019,484 from the previous fiscal year.
