establish or amend the District's Standard Specification for Design and Construction by
Ordinance. A public hearing must be held before the Board considers adopting an
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Establish August 5, 2010 as the date for a public hearing to
receive comments on a proposed ordinance to adopt the 2010 edition of the District's
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 establish
the recommended public hearing date or may elect to choose a different date. However, a
public hearing must be held if the new specifications are to be adopted
BACKGROUND: The District's Standard Specifications for Design and Construction were
last updated in 1993. Over the past twelve years, staff comprehensively reviewed and
reformatted the document to make it more user-friendly and to incorporate the latest
information on new materials, methods and technology. During this period, a number of
interim revisions covering specific technologies and practices, such as pipe bursting and
directional drilling were issued. The updated document entitled: the CCCSD Standard
Specifications for Design and Construction, 2010 edition is now ready for publication. The
District Code requires that the Board of Directors establish the standard specifications by
ordinance after conducting a public hearing.
