Prepared By: Manuel Guzman, Engineer II
SUBJECT: UTILITY TRENCH REPAIR 2008-09, SPECIFICATION NO.90896
CAO RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve plans and specifications for"Utility Trench Repair 2008-09, Specification No. 90896..
2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the City Manager to award the contract if the
lowest responsible bid is within the Engineer's Estimate of$300,000.
DISCUSSION
Throughout the year, Utilities Department Staff makes emergency repairs to pipelines in City
streets. Once these repairs are made, the trenches are backfilled and temporary asphalt patches are
placed at the surface of the road. These temporary patches are then replaced with a stronger and
more permanent asphalt patch under contract.
The Public Works Department accumulates a list of the temporary patch locations from the Utilities
Department and issues a construction contract periodically to make the permanent repairs. This
project will repair approximately 223 trenches throughout the City. A complete list of locations is
included in the Special Provisions.
CONCURRENCES
The Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption from
environmental review.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2007-09 Financial Plan, Appendix B, pages 3-90 to 3-95, estimates an annual cost of
$100,000 from the Water Distribution budget to support Utility Trench Repair projects. Due to a
greater total surface area to be repaired, the Engineer's Estimate is higher on this project than in
previous years.
This project will be funded by the Water Distribution System Improvement master account,
Specification No. 90227, which has an available balance of $774,665. Staff will prepare a
budget amendment request to transfer funds at time of contract award.
