AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
WaterfWastewater Replacement Program (Project No. 3, Greater Downtown
Area)
MEETING DATE: August 2, 2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the
above project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Water and Wastewater Improvement Program is intended to
systematically replace and, where needed, upgrade existing water
and wastewater infrastructure. The wastewater pipelines are mostly
constructed of terracotta or concrete pipe and the waterlines are
largely constructed of small diameter, cast iron or steel pipe. The majority of these pipes are in need of
rehabilitation and/or replacement. Project No. 3 is the third project scheduled in this program and will
focus on rehabilitating wastewater mains that are located in the greater Downtown area. A number of
water and wastewater mains in the core Downtown area were rehabilitated as part of other projects.
Once completed, the improvements will enhance the level of service associated with the wastewater
system by increasing reliability, eliminating exfiltration due to leaky pipe joints, and decreasing
maintenance costs. As with Projects No. 1 and 2 which were located in the general area of east of
Stockton Street and north of Kettleman Lane, staff is again recommending the use of trenchless methods
of rehabilitation for Project No. 3 to minimize both surface disruption and costs.
Project No. 3 includes in-place (trenchless) rehabilitation of approximately 12,500 linear feet of 6 -inch
diameter wastewater main, the rehabilitation of 65 manholes, and the reconnection of 300 wastewater
laterals.
This project is funded by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Grant funds requiring National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance. In accordance with the EPA procedures for implementing
NEPA 40 CFR Part 6, the EPA has determined the project is eligible for a categorical exclusion under
40 CFR § 6.107 and is exempt from the substantive environmental review requirements of NEPA
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seg.).
The plaits and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
FISCAL IMPACT: This work is partially funded by an EPA State and Tribal Assistance Grant
(STAG) account for water, wastewater and groundwater infrastructure
projects. The grant will fund 55% of the project construction costs up to
$385,700. Since the project costs are estimated at $850,000, the
