AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Vinewood Pump Station Electrical Improvements
MEETING DATE: May 2, 2018
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Vinewood Pump Station Electrical Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The electrical infrastructure serving the Vinewood Pump Station is
antiquated and is in need of replacement to comply with current
building codes. In February, the Electrical Utility Department
installed new conduit within Tokay Street and Mills Avenue, a new primary feed and a new transformer
serving the pump station. This work replaced the antiquated, direct -buried primary feed and substandard
transformer and improved the safety and reliability of the electrical service. Deficiencies remain,
however, in the existing electrical infrastructure from the transformer to the pump station, including the
pump controls.
This project will complete the on-site electrical upgrades by removing all remaining direct -buried wiring,
installing conduits, replacing wire feeds to the pumps and transducers, replacing the pump controls and
cabinets, and provide site lighting and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the
above project.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is May 23,
2018. The project estimate is $100,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will have a minimal impact on total maintenance costs but
enhance the safety and reliability of the pumps served by the upgraded
electrical system.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
