COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: William T. Hetland Prepared By: Allen Short
Utilities Director Water Division Manager
SUBJECT: Relocation of the Carbon Filtration Units from the Auto
Parkway Circle.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution authorizing the City Administrative Officer
to award a contract to relocate the Carbon Filtration Units
from the Auto Parkway Circle to a site yet to be determined
at a cost not to exceed $70, 000.
BACKGROUND:
On June 6, 1989 the City Council authorized the City Administrative
Officer to enter into a contract for the treatment and removal of
Tetrachloroethylene from the Auto Parkway groundwater basin in an
amount not to exceed $250, 000. Immediately after approval, staff
proceeded with the site preparation and installation phase. During
this process a number of concerns were raised by the land and
business owners surrounding the well site. The primary issue was
the installation of carbon filtration tanks directly next to the
well, within the Circle.
Just as the installation was completed the City and the surrounding
land and business owners reached an agreement which requires the
City to relocate the carbon filtration tanks from the current
location (City-owned property) to a site yet to be determined within
60 days from the date of the agreement. The City Council on July
18, 1989 approved an emergency resolution (No. 6653) which affirmed
the agreement between the city staff and several property and
business owners located on Auto Parkway.
The location presently in negotiation is approximately 300 feet from
the current site. As a result, the movement of the tanks will
require the installation of a new pad, electrical, pump house,
additional lengths of transmission pipe to carry the water from the
well to the treatment unit, and back to the distribution main.
Normally the time required for transmission line design, plan and
specification approval, bid process, contract award, construction
and installation is approximately 13 weeks. Due to the emergency
water shortage and to help expedite matters, staff is requesting the
ability to utilize the informal bid process, as outlined in section
403-1 and 403-3 of the Purchasing Control Manual.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING ACTION
There would be a delay of three (3) to six (6) months before the
well would be available for service. As a result, the City would
not have an additional 700 gpm (1130 acre feet) of groundwater on
line to mitigate the water shortage.

FINANCIAL IMPACT•
There are adequate funds in the water fund to cover this project.
This expenditure,not to exceed $70, 000, may require an evaluation of
priorities for new CIP projects and projects which have been
approved but not completed. Those projects which have a low
priority will be eliminated and the money will then be used to fund
this project. Section 403-1 and 403-3 of the Purchasing Control
Manual will be followed to insure a competitive bid process.
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt resolution authorizing the CAO to Award a contract to relocate
the Carbon Filtration Units from the Auto Parkway Circle to a site
yet to be determined at a cost not to exceed $70, 000.
