TITLE:
Receive Report and Consider Adoption of Municipal Improvement District No. 1 Resolution Approving the Contract with Fort Bragg Electric, for the Elm Street Lift Station Project; Authorizing City Manager to Execute Contract (Amount Not to Exceed $98,417.00, Account No. 716-7007-0731 & 714-4713-0741); and Finding the Project Exempt from CEQA under 14 CCR 15301b Existing Facilities ISSUE:
Public Works staff solicited informal quotes for the repairs to the Elm Street Lift Station. The City received three responses, two contractors who were unavailable to provide a quote and one responsive quote. The Elm Street Lift Station is a project in the City’s 2022/2023 Capital Project list with an estimated cost of $80,000. The lowest bid was received from Fort Bragg Electric for $98,417.00. The remaining $18,417 will be covered by the Machinery and Equipment line item from the Waste Water Enterprise Fund for the Municipal Improvement District.
ANALYSIS:
This project scope includes the replacement of the interior pump piping, addition of bypass valve for bypass pumping during construction, and replacement of all piping and valves. The replacement of The Elm Street Lift Station is necessary to prevent leaking and ensure the waste water collected within this section of town is efficiently pumped back to the waste water treatment plant where it will be treated.
The project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 15301b Existing Facilities, which includes operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, and minor alteration of existing public facilities and publicly owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept the bid of Fort Bragg Electric as the lowest responsible responsive bid, adopt the Municipal Improvement District No. 1 Resolution awarding the contract for construction to Fort Bragg Electric for The Elm Street Lift Station Project and find the project exempt from CEQA under 14 CCR 15301b.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Refuse quotes and solicit the project again.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project was budgeted for $80,000 in the FY 22/23 CIP budget and the remaining $18,417 will be covered by the Machinery and Equipment line item from the Waste Water Enterprise Fund for the Municipal Improvement District.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IMPACT:
There will be a short-lived increase of greenhouse gas emissions during construction from processes and equipment necessary for the performance of the work. All Air Quality Management District best management practices for minimizing greenhouse gas emissions during construction, such as reducing idling vehicles, will be incorporated into the daily activities of this project.
CONSISTENCY:
This project is consistent with General Plan Element 3 Public Facilities, which is intended to identify essential public facilities, buildings, and services and to ensure that the existing and future population of Fort Bragg is provided the best feasible level of public services and infrastructure. Repair of The Elm Street Lift Station will ensure that the public in the service area is provided the necessary service of waste water collection.
