RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2005-049 approving plans and specifications and authorizing
the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the construction of the Forest Avenue Sewer Pipeline,
Project No. 3495-1.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Forest Avenue Sewer pipeline is designed to convey wastewater tributary to the Forest Lift
Station to an existing gravity flow sewer pipeline in Monroe Street. The project includes installing
1,200 feet of 1 O-inch diameter high-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE) using directional drilling
(tunneling) and dismantling the existing Forest Lift Station located in Forest Avenue near its
intersection with Highland Drive.
The removal of Forest Lift Station complies with the City's sewer master plan and capital
improvement program to abandon the use of temporary lift stations. This lift station has now reached
the end of its useful life requiring replacement of the wetwell, all pumping equipment and the
electrical control system due to severe corrosion and erosion. The Forest Avenue Sewer Pipeline
has three major benefits. First, it eliminates the need to replace the existing lift station, which in a
Preliminary Design Report prepared by a consultant, indicated that the cost would be approximately
$520,000 (inflated to current costs). Second, the pipeline eliminates the annual operation and
maintenance expense, which is estimated at $46,000 this fiscal year. And third, eliminating the
sewer lift station helps reduce the potential for future staffing increases by reducing ongoing City
labor.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On February 16, 2005, the Planning Director approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration Case No.
EIA 04-06 for the project. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds needed to complete the project are estimated at $891,000. The project cost breakdown is
shown below and there are sufficient appropriations available from the Sewer Replacement Fund to
construct the project.
