AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for Water
Meter Program Phase 7
MEETING DATE: December 21, 2016
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids
for Water Meter Program Phase 7.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the May 2, 2007 City Council meeting, the Water Meter Retrofit
Policy was adopted. The primary objectives of the Water Meter
Retrofit Policy were to accelerate the installation of residential water
meters before the State's 2025 deadline and limit the time period during which some customers would be
paying for water on flat rate and others on a usage basis.
At the October 20, 2010 City Council meeting, a seven-year construction phasing was approved and the
property owner meter payment was capped at $300 per parcel. The first of seven construction projects was
awarded by Council in March 2011 and included the installation of 3,698 meters and the replacement of
4,220 feet (0.80 miles) of water main. The second construction project was awarded in March 2012 and
included the installation of 2,111 meters and the replacement of 26,350 feet (five miles) of water main. The
third construction project was awarded in March 2013 and included the installation of 1,465 meters and the
replacement of 20,310 feet (3.8 miles) of water main. The fourth construction project was awarded in March
2014 and included the installation of 1,334 meters and the replacement of approximately 24,000 feet (4.5
miles) of water main. The fifth construction project was awarded in March 2015 and included the installation
of 905 meters and the replacement of approximately 16,630 feet (3.1 miles) of water main. The sixth
construction project was awarded in March 2016 and included the installation of 938 meters and the
replacement of approximately 27,090 feet (5.1 miles) of water main. The Water Meter Program has been
lengthened to an eight-year project by dividing Phase 7 into two phases. This was done to reduce
construction impacts in the Phase 7 area and to preserve fund balance in the water utility.
The project area for Phase 7 is presented in Exhibit A and includes the installation of 879 meters and the
replacement of approximately 12,260 feet (2.32 miles) of water main. The estimated construction cost of
$5.2 million includes the cost of the water meter assemblies, construction administration, inspection, and
contingencies, and considers an inflation rate of approximately three percent. Construction is expected to
begin in April and conclude in November 2017.
Plans and specifications for the project are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid
opening date is February 9, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Water main leak and service repairs will be reduced. No additional costs will
be incurred for reading of the meters as they are automatically read
concurrent with the reading of the electric meters.
