AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Appropriating Funds and Concur with Emergency Repair of
Irrigation Pump Motor Control Center Electrical Wiring at White Slough Water
Pollution Control Facility ($54,762)
MEETING DATE: August 5,2009
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director t
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution appropriating $54,762.41 and concur with
emergency repair of the irrigation pump motor control center electrical
wiring at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility; declaring a
local emergency; and dispensing with the City's bidding requirements
in accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On Thursday, June 25, 2009, the electrical wiring between the
irrigation pump motor control center (MCC) and the electric service
panel failed. The failure impacted plant operations and could have
led to discharge violations. In response to this urgent situation and
to expedite the repair, staff requested the assistance of Western Water Constructors, Inc., (WWC). WWC
recently completed the Phase 3 improvements, is very familiar with the facility, and had the equipment and
manpower available to immediately assist with the repairwork. With the help of WWC, the repairswere
completed on July 1, 2009 in an efficient and timely manner without impacting facility operations.
This is the earliest opportunityto seek Council concurrence.
Plant staff worked with WWC to obtain the necessary portable generator, labor, and materials to maintain
plant operations. The repairwork included removing and replacing 1,000 feet of 30 -year-old electrical
wiring between the irrigation pump MCC and the electric service panel and providing temporary power to
the pumps so that they could remain in operation during the repairwork.
The work was performed on a Time and Materials basis with WWC providing all required documentation
to support the costs.
FISCAL IMPACT: By performing the repairs, the City has upgraded the reliability of the
irrigation pump operations and mitigated future potential issueswith this
electrical wiring.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding is available from the proceeds of the 2007 Certificates of
Participation (172026.).
