RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 1233 accepting bids and awarding a contract for the construction of
the Bressi Recycled Water Pump Station for the Encina Basin Water Reclamation Program,
Phase II Project, and the Bressi Potable Water Pump Station, Project Nos. 3889 and 3910 and
appropriation of funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
This bid includes two construction projects referred to as the Bressi Recycled Water Pump Station
(Bressi RWPS) Project No. 3889, and the Bressi Potable Water Pump Station (Bressi PWPS)
Project No. 3910. Both pump stations will be located within an easement provided by the owner of
Bressi Ranch Planning Area No. 3. These projects were combined into one construction project to
minimize construction costs and impacts to the community.
Included in the Encina Basin Water Reclamation Program, Phase II Project (Phase II) are three
recycled water pump stations: Twin D, Calavera, and Bressi. These pump stations will provide
recycled water service to customers throughout the City. The Twin D and Calavera Recycled Water
Pumping Stations have already been awarded construction contracts and are now under
construction.
The Bressi RWPS is a critical component of the Phase II project that provides recycled water to the
Rancho Carrillo area 660-pressure zone. Included in this contract is an approximately 1,000 square
foot, subterranean building containing three vertical turbine pumps (two duty, one stand-by),
a hydraulic surge arrestor system, and on-site piping.
The Bressi PWPS will supply water from Maerkle Reservoir (490-pressure zone) to the
700-pressure zone during the routine maintenance of the imported water aqueducts and during
emergency situations. Included in this contract is an approximately 1,100 square foot, subterranean
building containing three vertical turbine pumps (two duty, one stand-by), a hydraulic surge arrestor
system, and on-site piping.
On September 28, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the plans and specifications and
authorized the advertisement for bids for the Bressi RWPS and the Bressi PWPS. On November 19,
2004, the Purchasing Department received four (4) bids for the project as follows:
The Engineer’s Estimate for the construction of the project was $2,253,900. Staff has reviewed the
bids and has found them to be in order. Staff recommends that the Board award the contract for the
construction of the Bressi RWPS and Bressi PWPS to Orion Construction.

The Bressi RWPS is a part of the Phase II project. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
was prepared for the Phase II project. The Carlsbad City Council approved the MND on
January 25, 2000 under Case No. EIA 99-09, Resolution No. 2000-37. The United States
Department of the Interior completed its review of the Phase II project for compliance with
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and formally approved the Phase II project on
March 1, 2002.
The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 04-16) and a Special Use
Permit (SUP 04-08) for the Bressi RWPS and the Bressi PWPS on October 6, 2004 by Planning
Commission Resolution Nos. 5729 and 5730. In addition, the Planning Commission adopted a
Negative Declaration allowing development of the pump stations by Planning Commission
Resolution No. 5728.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agenda item is awarding a construction contract for the Bressi RWPS in the amount of
$996,000 and the Bressi PWPS in the amount of $1,401,500. The total construction contract cost
for both projects being awarded is $2,397,500. All bids submitted exceed the Engineer’s Estimate
for each pump station. The increase in cost above the Engineer’s Estimate is primarily due to the
significant rise in costs for concrete, steel and piping, in addition to increases in other construction
materials.
Recycled Water Pump Station
The total project cost of the recycled water pump station is $1.29 million as shown in Table 1. It will
be funded by Federal and State grants and a State Loan. This is the third of three recycled water
pump stations included in the Phase II Program, Project No. 3889. An additional appropriation of
$158,244 is being approved by a separate Agenda Bill action. Based on the current bid proposal,
the proposed appropriations will be sufficient to construct the three recycled water pump stations as
shown in Table 1.
