Approve plans and specifications for Broad Street Sewerline Improvements, Specification No. 90786 2. Authorize Staff to advertise for bids and authorize the City Administrative Officer to award the contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the Engineer's Estimate of$478,750. DISCUSSION Replacement of wastewater collection pipes is part of an ongoing program to replace aging, deteriorating, or otherwise troublesome sewer infrastructure. This program has several objectives. Among them are: 1) Ensure uninterrupted sewage flow without health hazard or effluent leakage, 2) Reduce the need for emergency repairs, and 3) Reduce or eliminate periodic maintenance requirements. This project will accomplish these objectives for part of the City wastewater collection system. The existing clay sewer lines in Broad Street were installed in the early 1900's. Besides being over or close to one hundred years old, numerous sections have root intrusion from trees in the-adjacent parkway which have contributed to cracks and sections of pipe that have sags in the alignment. The sewer crew has done extensive repairs to broken joints and numerous cracks in the pipe over the years. The new sewerline will be increased to an 8" diameter pipe from the existing 6" diameter pipe to accommodate the new service requirements expected from the South Broad Street Corridor Plan. Additionally, a Caltrans street reconstruction project is scheduled for construction in June of 2009; therefore this project was given priority in order to avoid further cost of repairs, construction and traffic conflicts with the Caltrans project. CONCURRENCES The Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption from environmental review. Caltrans has issued the City an encroachment permit for this work.
