CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
C4I RN4
AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for White Slough Water
Pollution Control Facility Holding Pond No. 2 Embankment Rehabilitation
MEETING DATE: August 16, 1995
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since the four holding ponds at the White Slough Water Pollution
Control Facility were constructed in 1967, the levee embankments
have been eroding into the bottom of the ponds. The severity of k
winter's storms have also accelerated the erosion of the levees.
This project will reconstruct the east, south and north levee embankments of Pond No. 2 and reface
them with riprap. Pond No. 2's west levee does not need to be rehabilitated at this time. This is the
first phase of a four-year project. The City will be rehabilitating one pond each year until all four ponds
have been reconstructed.
The total project estimate for rehabilitating three sides of Pond No. 2 is $280,000 and only $82,000 has
been budgeted. The east levee of Pond No. 2 faces the prevailing wind and was the only levee slated
for rehabilitation when the project was originally budgeted. Since the time the work was budgeted, and
because of the additional erosion from last winter's storms, the south and north levees have been
included in the scope of work. The unit prices in the bid proposal are on a "per foot" basis so
adjustments can be made if the City needs to reduce the size of the project. Staff has added alternate
bid items in an attempt to reduce the cost of the project and is also looking for additional funding to pay
for the project. A recommendation regarding the funding for this project will be made at the time the
contract is awarded.
FUNDING: Originally Budgeted: 1994/95
Budgeted Fund: Sewer Capital Outlay
Current Appropriation: $ 82,000
Total Project Estimate: $ 280,000
Planned Bid Opening Date: September 6, 199
