t `itlr To: William "Edwin" Galvez, Executive Director of PWA From: Nabil Saba, P.E., Water Resources Subject: 1215 E. Second Street -Right of Entry Agreement Date: May 26, 2014 The purpose of this memo is to request the City's approval of the attached Right of Entry Agreement to perform on -site sewer connection work at the house located at 1215 East Second Street. As part of the Grand Avenue widening project, PWA- Design Division acquired the properties located along the 200 block of North Grand Ave. The project calls for the demolition of the all existing structures Including the buildings and associated parking lot. Early this month the City's demolition contractor started the demolition of the existing building and asphalt removal of the parking lot, During the process, the sewer lateral serving the residence at 1215 E. Second Street was severely damaged. This sewer lateral traverses the parking lot and connects to the main sewer line in Grand Avenue. The City sewer maintenance crew was able to perform the necessary repairs and re- established the sewer service to the residents. But, since the building will be demolished and the City has plans to develop this area. It was determined that in the best interest to the City is to reconnect this property to the City sewer line on Second Street. The advantages to this decision are as follows: remove the sewer lateral from underneath the existing building, avoid another incident while the building its being demolished, provide the City with a lot that is fully developable without restrictions, and prevent future costly repairs to an old deteriorated sewer lateral on a major arterial. The Agreement is necessary to allow the City's contractor to construct a new sewer lateral and to connect to the existing sewer main on Second Street. Attachments # .
