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) Planned Bid Openate: Ma 2006 Richard C. Prima.
