RECOIVIIVtENDED ACTION;
Adopt Resolution No. 2013-203 accepting bids and award of contract to RMV Construction Inc. for the
Vancouver Street HDD Sewer Extension, Project No. 5515.
ITEIVl EXPLANATION:
The project includes the installation of 605 lineal feet of 8-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride pipe and 872 lineal feet
of 10-inch dianneter high density polyethylene pipe. The alignment begins in Vancouver Street, adjacent to the lift
station site, and then traverses through the City's Hidden Canyon Community Parl< 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, 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, all located in city street right-of-way, will be abandoned in place.
On March 26, 2013, through Resolution No. 2013-069, Agenda Bill No. 21,169, Council approved plans and
specifications and authorized the advertisement for bids for the Vancouver Street HDD Sewer Extension, Project
No. 5515. The engineer's estimate for construction is $716,400. On June 6, 2013, six (6) sealed bids were received
for the construction of this project which is summarized in the table below:
Contractor Name City/State Bid Amount
1) RMV Construction, Inc. San Diego, CA $664,939
2) Palm Engineering San Diego, CA $669,650
3) Ramona Paving Ramona, CA $679,742
4) HPS Mechanical Bal<ersfield, CA $692,670
5) CCL Contracting Escondido, CA $703,928
6) Cass Construction El Cajon, CA $765,049
Staff has completed its review of all documents and finds that they are in order. Therefore, staff recommends that
RMV Construction, Inc. be awarded the contract.

ENVIRONIVIENTAL IIVIPAa:
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.
Furthermore, approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise to receive bids are exempt from
the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065. This action does not constitute a
"project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the
environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not
require environmental review.
