ITEM #16 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COLTON UTILITY AUTHORITY MEETING OF APRIL 3, 2007 TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND UTILITY AUTHORITY MEMBERS FROM: ERIC R. FRASER, DIRECTOR OF WATER & WASTEWATER OPERATIONS SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE FILING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETIONS FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT MAINLINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT FOR VARIOUS CITY STREETS DATE: MARCH 26, 2007 BACKGROUND: The City of Colton has numerous old steel water mains that are over 50 years old. The old steel pipes are corroded with rust, causing leaks and discolored water to City customers. To correct the problem of the discolored water and leaks in the old steel pipes, the Mainline Replacement Project was implemented in November 2003 to replace the old steel pipes, starting in the Western Zone of Colton. Beginning in August 2005, the Water Division staff identified numerous segments of water mains that were in need of replacement. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The contracts for the Mainline Replacement Project were awarded to Merlin Johnson Construction, Inc. and Ross A. Guy & Son, Inc., in accordance with the City's policies and procedures for public contracting. Through the Mainline Replacement Project, 28,073.49 feet of old steel pipe has been replaced with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, as well as new fire hydrants and appurtenances being added to the affected areas. A listing of the street segments where the pipeline has been replaced is in the attached Exhibit "A." California Civil Code section 3093 requires a Notice of Completion to be recorded for any public works project. In compliance with this statute, City staff has prepared a Notice of Completion for each of the twenty-three (23) completed pipeline replacements listed in Exhibit "A." FINANCIAL IMPACT: See attached Exhibit "B" for a listing of Account Numbers for budgeted funds for the above projects. The completed areas of the Mainline Replacement Project came to a total of $1,425,616 of which $950,000 was paid through bond proceeds and the remaining portion was paid with the Department's water sales revenue.
