Approve Plans and Specifications Sewer Lining 2016, Specification No. 91421; and 2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the Public Disclosed Funding Amount of $606,500. DISCUSSION Replacement and rehabilitation of wastewater collection pipes is part of an ongoing program to maintain aging and deteriorating infrastructure. This program has several objectives: 1) ensure reliable removal of waste; 2) reduce the need for emergency repairs; 3) reduce the need for preventive maintenance; and 4) ensure uninterrupted wastewater flow without health hazard or effluent leakage. This project will accomplish these objectives for part of the City’s wastewater collection system. The existing pipes planned for rehabilitation work have been video inspect ed and confirmed to have reached the end of their useful life and are excellent candidates for the cure-in-place pipe (CIPP) polyester lining. CIPP is a trenchless rehabilitation method used to repair and extend the useful life of pipes. The CIPP process consists of inserting a resin-saturated tube into the pipeline. The resin hardens and creates a new pipe within the existing pipe, with sufficient capacity to handle projected flowrates. In order to ensure the quality of CIPP work, electro scanning testing is completed to verify the quality of the installation. There are many advantages of using the CIPP method in lieu of traditional open trench replacement methods. CIPP lining of the existing pipe will result in a reduced construction period as compared t o traditional open trench replacement construction, and it will be less disruptive to traffic, residents, and businesses. The proposed project will rehabilitate 4,350 feet of existing sewer pipe in five different locations. The project is divided into a base bid with two additive alternates. The base bid work is planned for an easement area adjacent to Chorro Street, and Benton Easement. The additive alternate locations are planned for the Broad and Mission segment, and Mill Street. ENVIRONMENTAL REVEW This project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Existing Facilities) since it is a maintenance and replacement project. A Notice of Exemption has been filed through the Community Develo pment Department. Packet Pg. 121 Item 14 FISCAL IMPACT This project is identified in the 2015-17 Financial Plan, on page 3-57 as part of the approved Wastewater Collection System Improvements projects. The project is structured with a Base Bid and two Additive Alternatives to maximize the scope of the rehabilitation project within the available funding. The strategy is to award the contract with the Base Bid and as many of the Additive Alternatives as funding will allow, up to the Publicly Disclosed Funding amount of $606,500 in compliance with Public Contract Code Section 20103.8(c). The Base Bid portion includes the Benton and Chorro Easements. The additive alternatives include additional lining on Mission Lane and Mill Street. As outlined below, $695,000 was identified for the project. The Collection System Improvements Master account (90239) currently has a balance of $2,710,000 to support this request. A budget amendment request will be processed to transfer the appropriate project funding to the Sewer Lining 2016 project (91421) from the master account at the time of contract award. Sewer Lining 2016, Specification #91421 Base Bid Estimate:$233,700 Additive Alternate A Estimate:$184,300 Additive Alternate B Estimate:$188,500 Total Project Estimate: $606,500 Contingencies:$83,000 Material Testing:$5,000 Printing and Misc:$500 Total Project Estimate $695,000 Collection System Impr.Master Account (90239) Current Balance:$2,710,000 Remaining Balance after Project:$2,015,000 ALTERNATIVE Deny authorization to advertise. The City Council may choose not to authorize project advertisement. Staff does not recommend this alternative. Further delay of rehabilitating these segments of waste water collection sewer pipe will only increase the costs associated with the maintenance, emergency repair after complete failure and construction phase of work.
