SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications and authorize
Staff to initiate the bidding process for the Alley Utility Replacement Project, No.
49813C and 50062C.
BACKGROUND:
This is the third phase of the Old Town Alley Utility Replacement Program and Re-
pavement Program. In the previous two years, major improvements to the Main Street
alley utilities and the alley utilities between 130i /le Street and 10/150 Streets were
successfully completed including reconstruction of water and sewer mains. Most water
and sewer mains in Old Town date back to the 1920s and have reached the end of their
service life. Due to high ground water, inflow and infiltration to sewers is prevalent.
The alley utility reconstruction program is being undertaken in conjunction with the
Cooperative Projects Program of the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County
(OCSD). The City of Seal Beach competitively secured the grants monies from OCSD
for this needed project. The Cooperative Projects Program will allow OCSD to
reimburse the City for up to one -half of the construction costs associated with the
replacement of Old Town sewer mains in order to reduce the Inflow/Infiltration. This in
turn reduces the flow arriving at the OCSD wastewater treatment plants.
The contractor will be given 80 working days to complete the project and it is anticipated
that the project would be completed by November 2002.
Agenda Item /
The plans and specifications were prepared by AKM Consulting Engineers and reviewed
by the City staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The engineer's estimate for the total cost including design, construction, inspection and
contract administration is $1,150,000. One half of total costs associated with the sewer
line replacement up to $ 278,218 are eligible for reimbursement from Orange County
Sanitation District. Funds are available as noted in the FY 2001/2002 Capital
Improvement Program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Plans and Specifications entitled
"Alley Utility Replacement Program (Water and Sewer), 13°i /14a' & 14a'/Dolphin alleys
from Ocean Blvd. to Electric Ave. and 15'116'h Alley from Electric Ave. to PCH, Project
