BACKGROUND The Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan required a number of water and sewer infrastructure improvements to be made to serve the new planning area. One of the water system requirements was to make improvements to an existing City/Zone 7 metering station, known as the City's Turnout No. 6. This project was designed, advertised, and bid, with the City Council awarding the contract on February 6, 2007. The low bid was submitted by Gateway Pacific Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $231,312. There was only one change order on the project, which reduced the height of the communications antenna, resulting in a cost savings of $2,680.09. As a result, the final project cost is $228,631.91, which is less than the Council approved project expenditures. The project was also completed on schedule and is now ready for acceptance by the City of Pleasanton. Zone 7 has inspected the project and will accept it upon receipt of final documentation and drawings of record. As noted, the turnout was part of Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan water infrastructure improvements approved by the City Council last year. The remaining water infrastructure work for the VCSP includes the completion of the water storage tank, the booster pump station, the tank access road and the water distribution pipeline to the tank. In general, all the infrastructure improvements have been progressing according to budget and schedule and it is anticipated that all remaining VCSP water facilities will be completed within six months. The budget and funding status of the VCSP water improvements is listed below.
