7. For Discussion & for Possible Action – Consideration to award a contract of slightly less than $10,000 to the lowest bidder, Valley Underground, for work in connecting two service laterals to the District’s main water line.

Staff recommends that the board approve Valley Underground’s bid to connect these two service laterals directly to the 10” water main and the District’s abandonment of the old 4” line.
