CITY CONTRACT NO. 1026 - INSTALLATION OF 10" DIAMETER WATER LINE IN
SKYLINE DRIVE BETWEEN BIRCH AND ALDER AVENUES
Statement of the Matter
Recent heavy demand on the capacity of the 20" CMWD trunk line in El
Camino Real has demonstrated a need for an alternate source of fire
flow in the vicinity of El Camino Real and Tamarack Avenue. Guaranteed
fire flow is being provided by an interim operational set-up which diverts
flow intended for Ellery Reservoir to provide fire flow in the subject
area. This is an interim system only and requires a significant effort
by field personnel to maintain a sufficient level in the Ellery Reservoir
for fire protection in other neighborhoods.
An existing old.6"diameter steel water line on Skyline does not have
sufficient capacity to "feed" from the Ellery pumps to the affected
area. This line has a 10" stub at each end for a parallel system ex-
tension. Paralleling the 6" line with the proposed 10" line will:
1. provide an alternate source of fire flow to the subject area and
2. significantly improve water pressure and fire flow for many existing
residences along Skyline Drive.
ZJoSglass Southwest, Inc., developers of Carlsbad Palisades,- has agreed
hjQ contribute $7,000 toward the cost of the proposed water line extension
because this line will partially benefit their development. The estimated
cost of the project is as follows:
design and contract administration $2,000
construction 18,000
contingencies 1,OOP
$21,000
Funds in the amount of $14,000 are available in Water Fund balances.
The Planning Commission has made findings that this project is in confor-
'mance with the City's General Plan. An Environmental Impact Assessment'
has been made and the project has been declared non-significant.
