ISSUE: Section 9.08.010 of the District Code requires that the Board of Directors adopt
an uncodified ordinance to establish or amend the District's standard specifications.
RECOMMENDATION: Set October 2, 2014 at 2 p.m. as the date and time for a public
hearing to consider a proposed ordinance to establish the document entitled: CCCSD
Standard Specifications for Design and Construction, 2014 Edition as the District's
standard specifications.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None by this action.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to set a public
hearing, however, this is not recommended since it is important that the most current
materials, methods and practice be covered by a Board - established specifications
document.
BACKGROUND: The District's Standard Specifications for Design and Construction
was last updated in 2011. Since that document was published, staff has continued to
solicit comments from internal and external customers, and has revised the document to
clarify requirements, and include additional requested information on materials,
methods, technologies and industry practices. 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 uncodified ordinance.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Set October 2, 2014 at 2 p.m. as the date and
time for a public hearing to consider adopting an uncodified ordinance to establish the
document entitled: CCCSD Standard Specifications for Design and Construction, 2014
Edition as the District's standard specifications.
