SUBJECT: AWARD BID FOR SEWER PUMP STATION 35 PHASE 2
UPGRADE, PROJECT NO. 49886
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed action will adopt Resolution No. and award a construction contract
for Sewer Pump Station 35, Phase II Upgrades, Project No. 49886 to the lowest
responsible bidder, SoCal Pacific Construction Corporation in the amount of $894,725
and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Sewer Pump Station 35 is located in the southeast corner of Old Town near the corner of
Electric Avenue and Seal Beach Boulevard. It is a large wet/dry well station which
receives all of the sewage flows generated in the Naval Weapons Station, Old Town,
Marina Hill and Bridgeport areas. These flows are delivered to an Orange County
Sanitation District's (OCSD) pump station located at Seal Beach Boulevard and
Westminster Avenue via a 16 -inch force main that lies in Seal Beach Boulevard. The
OCSD sewer pump station, then sends the flows on to their treatment plant, for treatment
and disposal.
The pump station was constructed in 1973 as part of a comprehensive program that
eliminated the City's treatment facility. This station is in need of refurbishment. The
existing pumps were installed approximately 8 years ago and show signs of premature
wear. Their power consumption is less efficient than some of the newer pumps available.
On average, this station pumps 1.2 million gallons per day with a peak flow of
approximately 2,800 gallons per minute.
The 1999 Sewer Master Plan defines Sewer Pump Station 35 as the most important
facility in the City's Sewer System, as such; it must be kept in top condition.
Improvements to the pump station were identified in the City's 1999 Sewer Master Plan
as project number 14. The 2005 update of the Sewer Master Plan also documented the
need for this upgrade. Construction costs have risen sharply over the last few years so
this project was split into two phases. The upgrade of the controls, pumps, meters and
improvements to the facility will increase the life of the facility; reduce power

consumption and maintenance costs; while improving reliability and the quality of
service to the residents and property owners of Seal Beach.
Phase 1 of the project was awarded in November of 2005 and concentrated on the
electrical and control upgrades and is expected to be completed by the end of the summer
of 2006. Phase 2 of the project will upgrade the mechanical components of the station.
On May 22, 2006 the City Council approved plans and specifications and authorized staff
to initiate the bidding process.
Four bids were received and opened by the City Clerk on Tuesday June 27, 2006 as listed
below:
1 SoCal Pacific Construction Corp. $894,725
2 Gantry Constructors, Inc. $1,060,000
3 Caliagua $1,279,555
4 Cora Constructors, Inc. $1,366,000
Staff has reviewed the submitted bid documents and found the low bidder to be in
compliance with the contract documents.
Upon the successful execution of the contract documents, the project is estimated to start
in September and completed by February 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will be phased to effectively use the funds available within the City's Sewer
Capital Fund to construct these improvements under project number 49886. The first
phase of the project was awarded to Cora Constructors at $ 534,800 and funding was
done through the previous Sewer Bond proceeds and sewer connection fees. The second
phase of the project will be funded through the 2 phase of the Sewer Capital Fee
increase.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt resolution , and award a
construction contract for Sewer Pump Station 35, Phase II Upgrades, Project No. 49886
to the lowest responsible bidder, SoCal Pacific Construction in the amount of $894,725,
