BACKGROUND Sanitary Sewer Pump Station No. 10 ("PS 10") is located near the intersection of Davit Lane and Shell Parkway, in Redwood Shores. It was reconstructed in 1994 to replace the pump station constructed in 1969. PS 10 receives wastewater flow from sixteen other pump stations and then pumps those flows directly to South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) wastewater treatment plant. Functionality of PS 10 and its associated force main are critical to the overall operation of city's wastewater collection system in Redwood Shores, as PS 10 conveys more than half of the system's wastewater flow. ANALYSIS On August 25, 2010, a sewer spill occurred from the force main for PS 10. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in November 2010, and the electrical engineering firm of DLT&V was hired to investigate PS 10's electrical, instrumentation and control systems. That study was completed in November of 2011. On April 23, 2012, City Council awarded a contract to TJCAA to design the electrical improvements for PS10. The project was advertised for bid on October 22, 2012. Three (3) bids were received at the bid opening on November 14, 2012. Bidder Bid Amount Anderson Pacific, Inc. —Santa Clara $342,100.00 Blocka Construction, Inc. — Fremont 339,500.00 D. W. Nicholson, Inc. - Hayward 399,000.00 Engineer's Estimate $340,000.00
