COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for White Slough
Water Pollution Control Facility Year 2003 Interim Improvements
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2003
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the White Slough
Water Pollution Control Facility Year 2003 Interim Improvements project and
authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION.- This project consists of installing four aeration blowers, which were
pre -purchased by the City. The four aeration blowers being repi aced
were installed during the 1989 plant expansion. The City Council
approved the purchase of replacement aeration blowers at the
May 21, 2003, Council meeting. A part of the blower purchase required the blower manufacturer to
guarantee a quote for ancillary appurtenances such as piping, valves, and controls needed for the blower
installation. The successful bidder will purchase, supply and install this ancillary equipment. The selected
bidder will also supply and install major electrical equipment and improvements to serve the new blowers, as
well as other future facility needs.
This project also includes earthwork, piping modifications and cleaning solids from two small ponds. The
Facilities Waste Discharge Requirements issued by the State Water Quality Control Board in January 2000
require that tertiary filtration be operational in 2004. Failure to satisfy this requirement could result in
significant fines to the City. The earthwork, piping modifications and pond solids removal included in this
project are necessary to allow installation of filters in 2004.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department,
FUNDING: Lodi has applied for a low-interest loan from the State Water Resource Control Board to fund
this project. The project will also be partially funded from the Wastewater Fund. A loan
contract or alternate financing plan and request for appropriation of funds from the Wastewater
Fund will be presented prior to contract award,
Project Estimate: $4,000,000
Budgeted: 2003/04 fiscal year
Planned Bid Opening Date: August 26-AO3
