Hetland %4rold Fones Public Work Director Utilities Director !C" Utilities Engineer SUBJECT: Submittal of Plans and Specifications for "Water Main Reconstruction Project: Hathway Pumps, Grand PRV, Warren CV, Flora CV; City Plan Nos. M-30P, N-2.3P, N-24P, N-26P" RECOMMENDATION: Approve plans and specifications, authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize CAO to award contract BACKGROUND During the development of,the Water Management Plan, staff evaluated present and future water delivery capabilities. There are two basic transmission modes, the gravity system and the pumped system. The pumped system raises the water 124 feet from the gravity system and is very near its limit on pumping capacity. The Hathway pumps will raise the water about 20 feet from the gravity system to furnish water to Reservoir Number 1, Terrace Hill and the proposed tank on Islay Hill. This will reduce the loading on the pumped system and reduce energy consumption by supplying these lower level reservoirs. This water will require only about 17% of rl the previous pumping effort. The Grand Avenue pressure reducing valve will provide for reinforced service to the Andrews Street pressure zone and remove some of the load from our most overloaded water transmission system along Johnson Avenue. The Warren check valve and the Flora check valve will provide automatic backup to existing neighborhoods that rely on a single source pumping system. These projects are very similar in the nature of their construction and are assembled into one bid package to provide a lower unit cost. They have been given an EIR clearance by the Planning Department. Status: Categorical Exemption.
