SUBJECT:
Award of Contract -- Fair Oaks Sanitary Sewer Extension Project, (UY-97-2) RTC 99-414REPORT IN BRIEF
On September 1, 1999, the City opened bids for the Fair Oaks Sanitary Sewer Project. Ten bids were received. Staff is recommending award of the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Pacific Underground Construction, Inc., in the amount of $630,947.
BACKGROUND
The Lawrence Trunk Sewer, between Arques Avenue and Highway 101, has a maximum capacity of 14.5 million gallons per day (MGD). Presently, the peak flow in that reach is 14.4 MGD. The Fair Oaks Sanitary Sewer Extension Project will reduce the peak flow in the Lawrence Trunk Sewer. The new Fair Oaks Sanitary Sewer Extension will intercept up to 2.8 MGD from the Old San Francisco Road sewer at Fair Oaks Avenue. The flow, which is discharged to the Lawrence Trunk Sewer, will be redirected to the existing, underutilized Old Cannery Sewer at Fair Oaks Avenue and Washington Avenue.
DISCUSSION
The Fair Oaks Sanitary Sewer Extension Project involves construction of new sanitary sewer, storm drain, and appurtenances. This includes (a) approximately 3,233 linear feet of new 18-inch diameter sanitary sewer in Fair Oaks Avenue between Old San Francisco Road and Washington Avenue and (b) approximately 991 linear feet of new 18-inch diameter storm drain within the Heritage Park East Village.
