3. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board
a. Review draft Position Paper to authorize the General Manager to execute
a professional engineering agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc., in an
amount not to exceed $300,000 for design of sewer mains to facilitate
abandonment of the original 39-inch trunk sewer as part of the Large
Diameter Sewer Renovations, District Project 100007; and find the project
is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Ms. Lawson provided a detailed review of the presentation included in the
agenda materials.
Ms. Lawson stated the intent of this project is to abandon 6600 Linear
Feet (LF) of the oldest pipe bringing flow into the treatment plant that was
built in the 1950s and which has reached the end of its useful life. She
also stated there are still several points of connection from the mobile
home parks that tie into this pipe. In response to Chair Pilecki's question
about who is responsible for overflows in the mobile home parks, Ms.
Lawson said the mobile home parks are responsible for the site collection
systems. A discussion ensued.
Ms. Lawson stated public outreach and Right -of -Way efforts will begin
shortly. Chair Pilecki suggested having a community meeting at the
mobile home parks with all utilities involved in the project to attend and
discuss easement issues, and the responsibility for maintaining the lines.
He also suggested having a quarterly newsletter sent out to the residents
of the mobile home park during the construction to keep them updated.
Chair Pilecki recommended clarifying that re-routing in the upper reach is
to the existing A -Line and is beyond where the relocation is required for
the CCTA project, and suggested that staff make the following changes to
the Position Paper:
1. Page 1, Background, in the first and second paragraphs, change
wording from "39-inch trunk sewer" to read "Main Trunk No. 1 ".
2. Page 2, Background, change reference to "(78" A -Line and 102"
Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor)" to read "(A -Line and Relief
Interceptor) and in paragraph three, change "Pleasant Hill Relief
Interceptor" to read "Relief Interceptor".
COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended Board approval with the
recommended changes.
