CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Installation of Utility Conduits under
the Woodbridge Irrigation District's Canal ($60,000)
MEETING DATE: December 6, 2000
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertisement for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project will install utility conduits under the Woodbridge Irrigation
District's canal northwest of the Lower Sacramento Road / Lodi Avenue
intersection. The conduit system will provide interconnections between
existing utility systems and future systems in the area west of Lower Sacramento Rd. as this area develops. The
Electric Utility Department is the lead agency for the project. PacBell and AT&T Broadband are the other utilities
participating in this project. These utilities will reimburse the City for their appropriate share of the cost of the project,
approximately 1/3 each.
The conduit system will be installed by boring under the canal during the time when the canal is drained. Two large
excavations on either side of the canal, and outside of the canal right-of-way, will be needed to accommodate the
boring equipment and to receive the conduits at the end of the bore. The length of the bore is 120± ft. and must be
installed a minimum of 3 ft. below the bottom of the canal.
The estimated cost of this project is $60,000 with approximately $40,000 reimbursed, by the other utilities, to the City.
Bid opening has been scheduled for January 2, 2001.
FUNDING: Business Unit 161652 Distribution System Improvements.
