This agreement provides funding for city of north chicago to hire a construction contractor to purchase and install 4,000 linear feet of new eight-inch water main as directed in the 2022 consolidated appropriations act or as identified in an approved technical correction if one has been approved for this project.activities:the activities to be performed involve hiring a construction contractor to purchase and install 4,000 linear feet of new eight-inch water main along stretches of victoria ST. And broadway AVE. Within the city of north chicago. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:this project will reduce the exposure to lead in drinking water by removing and replacing lead service lines with safe pipe materials, thereby improving water quality. The project will also improve fire flows by replacing old, deteriorated, and undersized water mains with larger pipes that are adequately sized for modern fire flow requirements. The city policy has been to install new water mains in the street where utility conflicts are minimal. The new water service lines and mains are installed using 'open cut' construction methods. This method leaves the roadways with a patchwork appearance and poor rideability after the utility trenches are paved over. Therefore, IT is the city's policy to mill and resurface the full width of the streets, to replace curbs, gutters, and sidewalks damaged by construction activities, and to restore disturbed landscape areas with topsoil and seed. Once the project is completed, these residents of the city of north chicago will have safe, clean drinking water, resurfaced streets, and hazard-free sidewalks that comply with accessibility standards.
