DEPARTMENT VERIFY CURRENT EL CENTRO BUSINESS LICENSE,
CONTRACTORS LICENSE, REFERENCE CHECKS, INSURANCE, ETC:

NA
BACKGROUND:

Our wastewater master plan calls for constructing a regional sewer lift station near Farnsworth and Danenberg. The regional pump station would eliminate the need for three existing local pump stations, resulting in less maintenance needs.

The new regional station will allow for the development of property generally located southerly of Interstate 8, northerly of McCabe Road, easterly of Farnsworth Road, and westerly of Dogwood Avenue. This includes the ability to provide service to the recent 8 Packet Pg. 19
Resolution (ID # 4185) Meeting of May 7, 2024
Dogwood Annexation.

On September 20, 2006, the Council approved a contract for design services with Nolte Engineers.

In early 2012, Psomas took over the design work through the City’s on-call contract, and Psomas completed the design in 2014.

An environmental review was completed in December 2014.

On November 14, 2019, the Council approved a design contract with Psomas to update and revise plans and phase the project. The phasing of work was pursued in an effort to reduce costs to manageable amounts while allowing for the completion of the work and enjoyment of its main benefits in a more expedient manner.

Staff has obtained the required ROW for this property and is working with the railroad to update the required permits.

On June 1, 2021, the City Council authorized the plans and specifications for the Southern Pump Station to be placed to bid.

On December 7, 2021, City Council authorized the rejection of bids after receiving a single unfavorable bid.

DISCUSSION:

After discussing this with contractors, city staff worked with Psomas Consultants to divide the project into more manageable pieces for contractors. Phase 1 has been split into Phases 1a and 1b to allow more contractors to bid, and Phase 2 is proposed as a future project.

Phase I completes the station and enables wastewater service to the above mentioned area by providing sewer service along Danenberg Avenue.

Staff will continue looking for wastewater funding sources that enable system reliability to hopefully proceed with Phase II of the project in the near future.

Staff is ready to release the project for public bidding upon the Council's approval.

Due to size, the document entitled "Contract Documents Volume II for the Construction of Southern Pump Station Specifications" is available at the City Clerk's Office for review.

CONCLUSION:

Approve the Southern Pump Station Project Plans and Specifications and direct staff to release the project for public bidding.

B. The OWNER's final determination on any proposed substitutions may not be made until after the CONTRACTOR's Detailed Construction Schedule is prepared and accepted as provided in this Section.

1.8 USE OF FLOAT
A. Total Float is the number of days by which a part of the Work in the Construction Schedule may be delayed from its early dates without necessarily extending the contract time. Contract Float is the number of days between the CONTRACTOR's anticipated date for early completion of the Work, or specified part, and the corresponding contract time. Total Float and Contract Float belong to the project and are not the exclusive benefit of any party. They shall be available to the OWNER or the CONTRACTOR, to accommodate changes in the Work, or to mitigate the effect of events which may delay performance or completion.

1.9 EARLY COMPLETION
A. An early completion schedule anticipates completion of all or specified part of the Work ahead of the corresponding contract time. Since Contract Float belongs to the Project, the CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any extension in contract time, or recovery for any delay incurred because of extensions in an early completion date, until all Contract Float is used or consumed and performance or completion of the Work extends beyond the corresponding contract time. The CONTRACTOR shall adjust or remove any Float suppression techniques, e.g., preferential sequencing (crew movements, equipment use, form reuse, etc.), extended durations, imposed dates, scheduling of Work not required for a contract time as required Work, and others, as a prerequisite to a request for an increase in contract price or contract time.

Use of restraint dates should be minimized and require approval by the CONSTRUCTION MANAGER.
