Re Southwestern Blvd 24 Water Line at BridgeI have not been able to view the attachment, but I have sent it on to our public works department for review. If we have more accurate information I will send it to you.
We will also go out to the field and investigate this location. We have a vac truck, and we may be able to expose the line and have your surveyor come out and take some shots on it.
I'm in class today and tomorrow, but I'll get back with you either tomorrow afternoon or Monday.

Subject: Southwestern Blvd. 24" Water Line at Bridge
Keith,
The attached .pdf shows the Southwestern Blvd. proposed bridge abutment
shaft and the 24" water to be very close to one another. The 24" is
shown based on record information from the City and field surveyed valve
locations. The pdf is not to scale, but there is less than 1' of
clearance between the two. It may be possible to modify the abutment to
avoid the water main, but we will need to know the exact horizontal
location of the pipe. The alternative would be to relocate a portion of
the 24" water main in Southwestern to eliminate the conflict with the
proposed bridge abutment.
I can, with your approval, have our SUE group perform the locate. We do
not have a budget in the contract for this type of work, and I've
received an estimate of $2,000 max to locate the water main. The
maximum fee is based on needing to use the vac truck due to the
excessive depth (15 ft) at this location.
I will call you to follow up and get your direction on how you would
like us to proceed.
Thanks,
Madonna
