BACKGROUND The existing water main was installed in the 1940's and supplies Saint Elizabeth Hospital from the West Elevated Storage Tank. The line has had numerous breaks in the past few years. The rehabilitation of the line will provide a reliable water supply and improve water quality in the area. A previous design of directional drilling with High Density Polyethylene Pressure Pipe of the same line was competitively bid in April 2007. The lowest bid on the project was $581,648.00. Based on the bid results, Water Utilities researched alternative methods to rehabilitate the water line and determined contracting through Buyboard would be the most economical approach.
