This project will renovate approximately 5,100 feet of sewer mains, primarily 6- and 8-inch clay sewers, and several aerial crossings located at Lost Valley Drive in the City of Orinda. Construction activities will include open trench, pilot tube guided boring, and pipe bursting within public rights-of-way and private easements. Due to the location of the easements, several permits including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and State Water Resource Board will be finalized and included in the project. Due to COVID-19, the community outreach is performed through online resources and posted on the District's website and notification letters have been sent to the impacted residents and neighborhoods. This project will be advertised January 11 and 19, 2021, and the bid opening is scheduled for February 2, 2021. The Engineer's estimate is $4,250,000. More information will be presented when the Board is asked to award the construction contract on March 4, 2021. 2) Central San Seeking Professional Engineering Services for the Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Replacement, District Project (DP) 10012, and UV Hydraulic Improvements, DP 10013 The UV Disinfection Replacement Project will perform a condition assessment and determine the optimal future disinfection system for Central San. The UV Hydraulic Improvements Project will complete a hydraulic evaluation of the UV disinfection system and final effluent channels to increase disinfection capacity and recommend improvements. Staff has recommended combining the evaluation, planning, future design, and potential engineering services during construction with one engineering consultant firm since the projects are interrelated and needed to determine the best alternative for Central San. Staff is scheduled to solicit a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) from qualified consultant firms in January 2021. Consultant fees are estimated to reach up to $3,500,000 if fully utilized. At this time, planning and predesign fees are estimated at $750,000. The projects and services under the RFP have been presented to Central San's Executive Technical Review Team and were supported by the Engineering and Operations Committee on December 1, 2020.
