RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 94 1 for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to
advertise notice inviting bids for Maerkle Reservoir Cover and Liner, CMWD Project No. 90-
109, Contract No. 3388.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Maerkle Reservoir is the major treated water storage facility in the City of Carlsbad with a
capacity of 200 million gallons. The reservoir includes an earthen dam and an unlined open
storage reservoir. This reservoir serves as operational water supply and is also used in meeting
the City’s requirement to provide ten days of emergency drinking water storage. Since the
reservoir holds potable water, State Department of Health Services standards requires that the
reservoir be covered and lined to prevent possible contamination of the water. This standard
conforms to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Surface Water Treatment Rule.
The District has prepared plans and specifications to construct a floating cover and an asphalt
liner to the existing Maerkle Reservoir which are available for review. In accordance with Section
3.28.120 of the Municipal Code, an Invitation to Bid will be published, and the contract will be
awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder subject to the Board of Director’s
approval. The District has received permits from the State Department of Health Services and
the Division of Safety of Dams for construction of the proposed improvements. The Engineer’s
Estimate for the construction of the project is $7.8 million, and the construction schedule is 24
months.
During construction, the reservoir will not be in service. Therefore, the District will be unable
to meet the ten (10) days of emergency water storage until completion of the project. In
addition, if the SDCWA aqueducts are closed for repair or maintenance, the District will require
emergency distribution of the available water supplies in storage from its remaining reservoirs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The engineer’s estimate for this project is $7.8 million. To date, funds totaling $4,874,000
($4,524,000, Replacement Fund; $350,000, MFC Fund) have been appropriated. The
remaining funds, $2,926,000, will be appropriated in the 1996-97 Capital Improvement Plan
Budget.

8, 1995. The mitigation included designation of 2 acres to permanent conservation easement
adjacent to the reservoir for impacts to coastal sage scrub.
