6.2.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er February 13, 2012 SUBJECT Final Acceptance — Glenwood Pump Station Improvements Project RECOMMENDATION Accept, by motion, the Glenwood Pump Station Improvements Project and authorize the release of bonds and retention, according to city procedures. BACKGROUND The Glenwood Pump Station is located within the Lakeview service zone near the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Canyon Lane. The Lakeview service zone is one of the largest in the City and services 625 homes within a one square mile area. The Glenwood Pump Station pumps water to the Lakeview Reservoir to serve all 625 homes in the Lakeview service zone. The old pump station was in an open area, exposed to inclement weather and enclosed by a chain link fence that provided minimal protection and security. This improvement project created a small, secure metal structure to house the pumps, the electrical and telemetry control equipment, new piping, a new emergency stand-by generator and enhanced pump control panels. Housing the equipment, providing better pump controls and adding a new generator increases both the security and reliability of the pump station's operations, enhances aesthetics, increases sound attenuation, and also reduces the need for maintenance. On August 22, 2011 the City Council awarded the construction contract for the Glenwood Pump Station Improvements Project to Conco-West, Inc., of Manteca in the amount of $513,680. ANALYSIS A final inspection was conducted and it was determined that the project has been successfully completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and on schedule for a total cost of $514,790. Five (5) change orders were issued totaling $1,110 which resulted from quantity adjustments and unforeseeable field conditions. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to accept the project or authorize the release of bonds and retention, which would be contrary to the terms of the contract, prior Council action, and public contracting code.
