REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />June 8, 2015 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Final Acceptance – Water Tanks and Pump Stations Seismic Improvement Project <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, accept the Water Tanks and Pump Stations Seismic Improvement Project <br />and authorize the release of bonds and retention according to City procedures. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />On October 10, 2011, the City Council accepted the Water System Master Plan Report <br />and directed staff to move forward with specific recommendations and projects for <br />future Council consideration. The Water System Master Plan forecasts improvements <br />necessary to accommodate water demand by new and redevelopment activities <br />anticipated by the city’s General Plan; analyzes and identifies improvements for reliable <br />performance during normal and emergency conditions, such as fires and earthquakes; <br />and prioritizes capital improvements to the system for following 20 years after approval. <br />Implementation of the Water System Master Plan includes a City-wide Water System <br />Seismic Reliability Sub-Program to upgrade water pipelines, tanks and pump stations to <br />make the water delivery system more reliable and better able to withstand the effects of <br />an earthquake. The Sub-Program has been divided into various projects that are being <br />performed in order of priority and availability of funds. The Water Tanks and Pump <br />Stations Seismic Improvement Project is the third of these projects. <br />ANALYSIS <br />On March 10, 2014 the City Council awarded the construction contract for the Water <br />Tanks and Pump Stations Seismic Improvement Project to Anderson Pacific <br />Engineering Construction, Inc. of Santa Clara, CA for the amount of $510,300.00. <br />The Water Tanks and Pump Stations Seismic Improvement Project included improving <br />seismic performance at steel tanks and pump stations, by performing modifications to <br />several water tanks inlet, outlet, overflow, and drain pipes; improving foundation and <br />anchorage at Cambridge 2 tank; reinforcing tank shell at Wilmington tank; anchoring <br />miscellaneous equipment at all pump stations; updating roof systems at Carson and <br />Cambridge pump stations; and restoring paint inside and outside of steel tanks where <br />needed after the modifications were completed. <br /> <br />7.3.A. - Page 1
