BACKGROUND This project is part of the annual maintenance program, which replaces failing water lines that have a potential for breakage and leaks. Service laterals, fire hydrants and backflow devices that do not meet the current State Department of Public Health standards are also replaced as part of the annual maintenance program. Water replacement projects are selected from a list of projects identified by the City Utilities Division, and prioritized based on past records of maintenance, the potential for failure due to breakage, the expected life span of existing pipelines, and the scheduling of other CIP projects such as roadway surface maintenance. Portions of the water line between Jensen Street and Stanley Boulevard have been removed from service due to numerous leaks, and several segments on Main Street have also been repaired in recent years. This water main provides water to the Jensen Tract and downtown businesses; maintaining this water line is critical. This project consisted of replacing approximately 3,300 linear feet of old cast iron pipe and asbestos cement pipe that was installed in the early 1960s. On Main Street, between St. Mary Street and Stanley Boulevard, 1,100 feet of cast iron pipe was replaced with PVC pipe via an open cut trench. On the Santa Rita Frontage Road, from Jensen to Alisal Elementary School/Black Avenue, 2,200 linear feet of 12-inch asbestos concrete pipe was replaced with 12-inch PVC pipe, also via open cut trench. Additionally, between Stanley Boulevard and Jensen Street, under the railroad tracks, 530 linear feet of existing pipe was slip-lined with 10-inch FPVC pipe, eliminating the need to excavate within the railroad corridor. The project also includes new service connections, air release valves, upgrades to the well connection and replacement of the fire hydrants. Pakpour Consulting Group designed both segments of the project under the City's on- call contract and provided construction support services. Geocon provided material testing and compaction testing during construction. On December 5, 2017, Pleasanton's City Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, K.J. Woods Construction, Inc., in the amount of$2,248,000. Council authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $224,800. The project has since been completed and is ready for acceptance. DISCUSSION Budget The funding for the project was $2,672,555, provided from the Annual Water Main Replacement project, CIP No. 16128; the Water Fund Surplus Reserves; the Annual Water Main Replacement project, CIP No. 17128; the Bi-Annual Control Valve Improvements project, CIP No. 16111; and the Annual Bridge Water Main Replacement project, CIP No. 17136. A total of six change orders, including a balancing change order, were issued for this project for a total credit of $122,220. The credit came from a reduction in the line items Page 2 of 3
