<br />6.1J <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />REPORT <br /> <br /> <br />June 25, 2007 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Rejection of Bids - Lakeview Pump Station Improvements Project <br /> <br />ReCOMMENDATION <br />Reject, by motion, all bids for the Lakeview Pump Station Improvements Project, direct <br />the return of all bid securities, and authorize the re-design of the project and re- <br />advertisement for bidding purposes. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Lakeview Pump Station is located within the Lakeview Reservoir site near the <br />intersection of Lakeview Way and Woodland Way. The Lakeview Reservoir zone is one <br />of the largest in the City and services 625 homes within a one square mile area. The <br />Lakeview Pump Station previously pumped water to storage tanks in the California zone <br />but has been idle since the demolition of those storage tanks in 1998. <br /> <br />The proposed improvements to the existing Lakeview Pump Station will return the <br />facility to use. The rehabilitated pump station will circulate water in the Lakeview <br />reservoir to maintain water quality in the Lakeview reservoir. The pump station will also <br />provide additional water supply to the Emerald Lake Hills area in the event of an <br />emergency such as a disruption of water service at the Edgewood connection to San <br />Francisco Public Utilities Commission's Hetch Hetchy pipelines. <br /> <br />The proposed improvements include providing a new structure to enclose the pump <br />station (pump control valves and piping), a stand-by engine generator for use during <br />power outages, and resurfacing the existing access road. <br /> <br />Five (5) bids were received at the bid opening on May 16, 2007 and are summarized <br />below. <br /> <br />Bidder Electrical Sub-Contractor Bid Amount <br />Precision Enaineerina, Inc.
