TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Adopting Amended City of Hemet Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and Repealing Resolution No. 4390

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Adopting Amended City of Hemet Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and Repealing Resolution No. 4390.

BACKGROUND:

The City maintains Standard Specifications for the Public Works Construction, historically based on the American Public Works Association (APWA) Greenbook Standard Specifications with few deviations. The Public Works Standard Specifications set forth the general guidelines and requirements for design and construction for City projects, projects within the City right-of-way, and private developments. The purpose of these standards is to set a level of quality and consistency in public works construction. Quality and consistency, combined with active inspections, increase the life and function of public improvements and reduce long term maintenance costs.

The Standard Specifications should be periodically updated to reflect changes in construction practices, materials, and to add clarifications. The City’s current version of Public Works Standard Specifications, were adopted in 1989, with updates in 1997, 2003, 2009 and 2011.

ANALYSIS:

The current proposed updates are significant updates to the Public Works Standard Specifications.

Some of the updates to the Standard Specifications consist of the following:

Page 1 of 141 ends

 Replacing SOX luminaires with LED luminaires in Table A and updating in general standard specifications for street lighting. Major updates include concrete type for foundations, material used Light Street type, cabinet conduit, and for specifications conduit, for burying Improvement Plan submittal guidelines.
 Prohibiting the use of metal pipe for underground retention/detention and referring to Section 7 of the Storm Drain Criteria and Drainage Design Manual for related standard specifications.  Revised frontage roads to no longer require bulb type intersections on because of the maintenance issues they present.
 Updated the minimum clear distance for driveways to include utilities, power poles and street lights.
 Requiring asphalt pavement be laid in multiple lifts and increased the minimum AC pavement section to use 4 inches of AC from 3 inches of AC.
 Increased maximum static design pressure for water system from 100 psi to 125 psi.  Clarified blow off assembly installation requirements to require valves between the main and the assembly.
 Require buried valves and fittings to be wrapped in 8 mil polyethylene.  Clarified that no service shall be connected to a water main within 24" of a fitting.  Require a hydro-pneumatic pump system to have a backflow device installed.  Material for sewer main updated from vitrified clay to SDR 35 PVC.  Clarified sewer main installation in relation to water and require marking tape be installed 12" above pipe.
 Removed asbestos cement from acceptable forced main material.  Changed “W-700A” to “W-700B” on subsection for Fire Hydrants (pg. 30) with regards to the blue reflective fire hydrant markers “spotters.”
 Updated traffic signal controller type and require reflective backplates.  Updated Table "A" for minimum street design standards for pavement thickness, traffic index, right-of-way widths, and streetlight specifications.

DISCUSSION:

Staff recommends that City Council adopt the revised Public Works Standard Specifications, effective January 14, 2025.
