AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF) Farm Irrigation
Improvements — Phase 1
MEETING DATE: February 4, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF)
Farm Irrigation Improvements — Phase 1.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As part of the summer operation at WSWPCF, treated wastewater is
pumped into a series of pipes and ditches to irrigate approximately
900 acres of farmland. There were multiple incidents in 2014 when
the concrete ditch along Thornton Road overloaded and spilled into the County right-of-way. One of the
contributing factors to the spills is a low spot in the ditch adjacent to Thornton Road, which is where the
spills occurred. In order to eliminate the possibility of these spills, this project will remove the concrete
ditches and replace them with buried pipes. These pipes are designed and sized to accommodate and
assist with future irrigation expansions.
The improvements generally consist of removing 3,770 feet of concrete ditch and installing approximately
1,040 feet of 36 -inch pipe, 2,730 feet of 30 -inch pipe, five alfalfa valves, and five standpipes. The project
location is shown on Exhibit A.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
February 25, 2015. The project estimate is $490,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: This work has already been included in the FY 2014/15 budget.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
