DIRECTOR j/J MTG. 3/26/13 APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE TO RECEIVE BIDS FOR THE VANCOUVER STREET HDD SEWER EXTENSION, PROJECT NO. 5515 CITY ATTORNEY f DEPT. UTIL APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE TO RECEIVE BIDS FOR THE VANCOUVER STREET HDD SEWER EXTENSION, PROJECT NO. 5515 CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2013-069 approving plans and specifications and authorization to receive bids for the Vancouver Street HDD Sewer Extension, Project No. 5515. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Vancouver Street Lift Station was constructed as a temporary lift station in the early 1980s to provide public sewer service to 221 homes In Carlsbad Tract 74-04. The project will construct a gravity flow sewer pipeline extension connecting the development's sewer system to an existing downstream sewer and eliminate the need for this lift station. The gravity flow pipeline will improve efficiency and reliability of the local sewer system by eliminating the ongoing cost for electrical power and maintenance required for the operation of the sewer lift station. The project includes the installation of 605 lineal feet of 8-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and 872 lineal feet of 10-inch diameter high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The alignment begins in Vancouver Street adjacent to the lift station site and then traverses through the City's Hidden Canyon Community Park and a hardline preserve area owned by the City of Carlsbad. The new sewer extension will then connect to the existing downstream sewer located in a utility easement in Via de Canto Street. In order to avoid impacts to the preserve area, that portion of the pipeline alignment will be constructed using horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a trenchless method of pipeline construction. When the construction of the new gravity pipeline is completed, the lift station will be demolished and the site, which includes approximately 600 square feet, will be cleared and hydro- seeded with a native seed mix and returned to the surrounding open space easement. The lift station's 1,845 lineal feet of 8-inch diameter sewer force main, ail located in city street right-of-way, will be abandoned in place. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) were prepared for Vancouver Street HDD Sewer Extension Project (EIA 12-01). The Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt a MND was published In the newspaper on June 29, 2012, and sent to the State Clearinghouse for a 30-day public review (July 10, 2012 - August 10, 2012). No further environmental review is required. No city permits were required for this project; therefore, the MND was approved administratively by the City Planner on August 6, 2012 in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15074.
