CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Drainage Modifications
MEETING DATE: April 5,2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve plans and specifications for the
White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF) Drainage
Modifications project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project is a component of the WSWPCF Irrigation System
Expansion project and other on-going modifications and upgrades
to the treatment plantfacility. The work consists of installing
approximately 230 linearfeet of new 36 -inch reinforced concrete
pipe, installing three new manholes, cleaning approximately 265 linearfeet of existing 36 -inch reinforced
concrete pipe that crosses under Interstate 5, and installing one new manually -operated isolation valve.
Storm drain run-off and irrigation tail water generated from neighboring agricultural areas located easterly
of the WSWPCF flow across the City's property. These off-site flows currently mix with storm drain
run-off and irrigation tail water generated from the City's on-site effluent disposal fields (on-siteflows)are
then routed to the treatment plant's storage ponds for treatment. Conveying off-site flows in pipes across
the City's property frees up storage pond volume and, therefore, treatment capacity.
Staff recommendsthe City Council approve plans and specifications for the WSWPCF Drainage
Modifications project and authorize advertising for bids.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department,
FISCAL IMPACT: This project will defer significant costs associated with generating additional
treatment plant pond storage. Staff anticipates a slight increase in
long-term maintenance costs and a decrease in long-term energy costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The money for this project will be coming from the Wastewater Fund
(2004 COP). A request for appropriation of funds will be made at contract
award.
Project Estimate: $100,000
Budgeted: 05/06 fiscal year (Page 167)
