Clearwater Contracting of Nampa, ID, has completed construction of the Pinebrook Force Main project. The project installed 1,368 linear feet of 6-inch force main, as well as abandoning over 4,200 linear feet of existing force main. The existing force main was aging and requiring an increasing amount of repairs that were often in easements within backyards. The new force main was constructed within the public right-of-way.

The work was completed satisfactorily in accordance with the plans and specifications. Contract costs are summarized below:

The original contract amount, including sales tax, was $310,376.65. The final project cost was $267,700.11, which was $42,676.54 (under 14%) less than the original contracted amount. The difference is attributed to the typical variances in unit prices and/or quantities commonly encountered during construction. This project was below the threshold for the apprenticeship program, therefore there was no apprenticeship utilization goal required.
