• Page 2 of 2 CUA Meeting of February 19, 2002 Harper & Associates February 4, 2002 Due to the need for both reservoirs to be in-service during the summer months, staff needs the rehabilitation work to begin in mid-September 2002, on the Domecq Reservoir. This allows the Domecq Reservoir back in-service no later than June 1, 2003. The La Loma Reservoir work will begin after the completion of the 4 -million gallon Montecito Reservoir No. 2. Staff estimates the Montecito Reservoir No. 2 completion date as late December 2002. With this date established, the remaining months allow sufficient time for the completion of the rehabilitation of La Loma Reservoir before June 2003. Staff recommends facilitating both projects together to better meet the needs of our residents. Additionally, it is more cost effective to solicit for engineering design services on similar projects as a package. Under the proposed Agreement, the City receives plans and specifications for both projects as a single package and staff will then bid the rehabilitation of both reservoirs as one project with staggered completion dates. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The FY01-02 and FY02-03 Water Development Budget included funds for the rehabilitation of reservoirs. Sufficient funds are available in the Water Development --Reservoirs Capital Improvement Account No. 551-8100-8104-3890 for the engineering design Agreement and the rehabilitation of both reservoirs. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: These two projects are exempt under California Environmental Quality Association (CEQA), Section 15301. Staff will file a Notice of Exemption as required by CEQA. RECOMMENDATION: Award the Professional Services Engineering Design Agreement for the Rehabilitation of Domecq and La Loma Reservoirs to Harper & Associates in the amount not to exceed $64,110.50.
