Director of Public Works /City Engineer 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 Agenda Item N 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, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
