The connection safeguards access to MWD water and ensures reliability of drinking <br />water for residents and businesses, especially should there be an emergency or if the water <br />system is interrupted. To keep this important facility operational, City crews are required to <br />routinely access the vault to maintain the valve and connection. <br />The existing SA -5 vault is located under the northbound traffic lanes on Bristol Street, just north <br />of Alton Avenue (Exhibit 1). Currently, the City crews must block a lane on Bristol Street. By <br />relocating the vault, traffic impacts during routine maintenance will be minimized. The work will <br />also allow the existing piping, valves, and equipment to be replaced, and it includes modernizing <br />site electrical and instrumentation. <br />A Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on February 8 and 9, 2019, and bids were opened on <br />February 21, 2019. The following is a summary of the bid invitations made and the bids received: <br />23A-1 <br />
