ISSUE: The District Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to the Board of
Directors' consideration of an ordinance to establish or amend the District's Standard
Specifications for Design and Construction.
RECOMMENDATION: Set September 1, 2011, as the date for a public hearing to
consider a proposed ordinance to adopt the 2011 Edition of the District Standard
Specifications for Design and Construction.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None by this action. Design and construction of new facilities in
accordance with the proposed specifications will minimize future maintenance costs
and ensure that the facilities have an acceptably long service life.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board of Directors may decline to set the
recommended public hearing date, or may elect to choose a different date. However, a
public hearing must be held if the updated specifications are to be adopted
BACKGROUND: The District's Standard Specifications for Design and Construction
was updated in 2010. Since that time, staff has collected errata, reviewed customer
requests for clarification and revised the document to include corrections and
incorporate the latest information on materials, methods, industry practices and
technology. The updated document is now ready for publication. Section 9.08.010 of
the District Code requires that the Board of Directors establish the standard
specifications by ordinance after conducting a public hearing.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Set September 1, 2011 as the date for a public
hearing to consider a proposed ordinance to adopt the 2011 Edition of the District
Standard Specifications for Design and Construction.
