Prepared by: Eric Bauman, Assistant Utilities Director Cr4
SUBJECT: Replacement of gate valve (GV) C11-217, to allow work on fire hydrant (FH)
B11-57 for Del Obispo Widening project.
Description: The City's Del Obispo Widening Project necessitated the relocation of FH
B11-57, along with several service meters(Location shown on Attachment
1). That relocation work is covered under the Widening Project contract.
However, one of the isolation valves, GV C11-217, fails to provide a drip
tight shut down to allow for the relocation of fire hydrant B-11-57. This was
unanticipated and was not included in the Project. Staff solicited and
received three informal bids for the work conditioned upon the ability to
perform the work on or before 5/24/18. Three firms responded with a price
and date commitment (see bid tabulation section below). The low bid by
Doty Brothers Construction Company(DBCC)was non responsive because
they could not start work by the date required.
Funding for this work is in the CIP Valve Insertion Program (CIP 17803),
which, as of 4/30/18, still has $200,000.
This project has been reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City's Environmental
Administrator has determined that the project is Categorically Exempt under
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301; Class 1(c) "Existing Facilities". The
project is consistent with Section 15301(c) because it replaces an existing
facility with no expansion; and does not disturb any previously undisturbed.
