DISCUSSION
While installing a connection for the new Housing Authority Project,at the corner of.Johnson and
Ella, it was discovered that the existing sewer pipe line was in extremely poor condition, The
Wastewater Collection crew had to complete a specialized connection due to the extent of the
deterioration. This project. was not included in the 2005-07 budget as a planned maintenance
replacement; however due to its condition, the Utilities Department has increased its priority in
front of the other projects on the list. The concrete pipe is cracked in several places and blocked in
others. The new residential construction in the area, along with the extremely poor condition of the
line, dictates that the sewerline be replaced as soon as possible. The Utilities Department has
determined the sewerline in Ella from Sierra Way to near Binns Court, the-line adjacent to the
failing section, is also in need of replacement in order to alleviate ongoing maintenance issues on
that block as well. Staff has packaged this section as an Additive Alternate to allow Utilities the
opportunity to decide after receiving bids if they want to proceed with the additional work.
CONCURRENCES
Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption.
FISCAL IMPACT
These sewer improvements will be funded by monies from the Collection System Improvements
Main account. Projects currently scheduled for replacement will be pushed out as needed to
accommodate this work.
