BACKGROUND:
Bids were opened on August 6, 2025, for this project and City Council awarded the base bid plus four additive alternates to Mountain High Excavating for $3,575,694. Since construction first commenced, another section of Acoma Boulevard, between Industrial Avenue and Bahama Avenue, has been identified as needing replacement due to it being located within an upcoming paving project. This section is approximately 1,700 linear feet of 8” watermain with multiple service lines and fire lines. Data shows it has had several breaks in recent years and should be replaced prior to paving over the area.

The replacement of the existing water mains, water services and fire hydrants will enhance the neighborhood also providing reliable potable water. Upgrading new water mains, water services, new fire hydrants and water delivery to the community now and into the future will be beneficial to the residents of Lake Havasu City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $600,000 are allotted and available in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Plan utilizing Water Utility funds.
