AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Lower Sacramento Road West Frontage Road Wastewater Pipe
Improvements (Bayberry Drive to Tejon Street)
MEETING DATE: April 2,2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications for the Lower Sacramento Road
West Frontage Road Wastewater Pipe Improvements (Bayberry
Drive to Tejon Street) Project and authorize advertisement for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of installing 980 lineal feet of 6 -inch
wastewater pipe, constructing four wastewater manholes,
reconnecting fourteen wastewater laterals, and other incidental and
related work, all as shown on the plans and specification for the
above project. The locations of the affected homes are shown on the attached Exhibit A.
The existing wastewater laterals at these two areas connect to the wastewater trunk main in
Lower Sacramento Road. The wastewater laterals run under the frontage road and planted median and
then to the trunk main in Lower Sacramento Road. Recently, several home owners have experienced
sewage blockage, and City crews have performed emergency repairs for these homes. City crews have
found that roots from the existing trees in the median are migrating along the wastewater service laterals
toward the homes and are collapsing the laterals.
Staff expects the other homes in the two areas will have the same problem. Staff is recommending the
installation of a new 6 -inch wastewater pipe in the frontage road to connect the existing wastewater
laterals to existing wastewater pipes near the frontage road. This will eliminate the crossings of the
laterals under the median. Staff will also work with the contractor to eliminate future root migration
problems in this area.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance of the added
wastewater pipe and manholes. However, this project will also decrease the
amount of maintenance required for service of the laterals in this area.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Project Estimate: $104,000
