COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITI"'NUMBEA:C-
FROM:
Dave Romero, Director of Public Works Z�
William Hetland, Utilities Director 63
Prepared by: Barbara Lynch, Engineering Assistant
SUBJECT:
Watermain Improvement: Augusta, Laurel to Greta, City Plan Nos.
S01P & S02P and Street Reconstruction: Augusta - Laurel to
Sinsheimer Park, City Plan No. S12A.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve plans and specifications for Watermain
Improvement & Street Reconstruction: Augusta - Laurel to Greta,
City Plan No.s S01P, S02P & S12A, authorize soliciting of bids and
contract award by CAO if the lowest responsible bid is within the
Engineer's estimate.
DISCUSSION:
The waterline for Augusta Street is currently a 6 inch line which has
experienced several breaks in recent years. It needs to be replaced and
was included in a list of projects to be completed this year. This
portion of Augusta Street is also scheduled to be reconstructed. Rather
than wait to reconstruct the street at a later date with other streets,
it made more sense to include it with the waterline project. This will
eliminate the trench paving which would normally be done with the
waterline and which would then be removed when the street was
reconstructed this summer.
The Utilities Department would also like to increase the size of the
waterline to an 8 inch at the same time we replace it. In addition the
project will tie over five services still remaining on an original 4 inch
line in the vicinity of San Marcos Court. This will allow us to abandon
this small line which has also experienced several leaks.
CONCURRENCES:
The Planning Department has given this project a categorical exemption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The engineer's estimate for the waterline project is $ 137 , 700. 00. The
CIP for 1991/93 (page E-7) includes $ 500, 000 for watermain improvement
projects. None of the money has been spent. The engineer' s estimate
for the street reconstruction is $ 88 , 700. 00. The CIP for 1991/93 (page
E-8) includes $ 700, 000 for street reconstruction and resurfacing for
1992-93 . This project would reduce next years budget by $ 88 , 700. 00 to
$ 611, 300. As Augusta was originally scheduled to be included in this
summers paving project there will be no net effect.
The total engineering estimate for the combined projects is $ 226, 400 . 00
