CITY OF COLTON Item #26 AGENDA REPORT For the Colton Utility Authority Meeting of August 6, 2002 TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND UTLITY AUTHORITY MEMBERS FROM: ERIC R. FRASER, DIRECTOR OF WATER & WASTEWATER OPERATIONS SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF THE PULLING, INSPECTION, REPAIRS, AND REINSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT AT WELL #22 AS 100% COMPLETE AND AUTHORIZATION FOR THE DIRECTOR OF WATER AND WASTEWATER OPERATIONS TO FILE THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION DATE: July 22, 2002 BACKGROUND On May 7, 2002 Colton Utility Authority adopted Resolution No. 50-02 to declare that an emergency condition existed with the City's water supply and delegated authority to the City Manager to order actions to ensure the reliable delivery of a pure, wholesome and potable water supply. This was in compliance with Section 22050 of the Public Contract Code which allows the City Council (Colton Utility Authority) to pass a resolution by a four-fifths vote of its membership declaring an emergency condition exists and delegating authority to order actions required by that emergency without giving notice for bids to let contracts. DISCUSSION /ANALYSIS An action plan to address the problem was initiated which included activation of connections to the City of San Bernardino, renting the necessary equipment to re -activate older wells that were not being used, and making physical changes to the distribution system booster stations to re-route water to different pressure zones. The motor was pulled and the pump for Well #22 received necessary repair. ALTERNATIVES Without Resolution No. 50-02 water rationing would have had to be initiated or we would have had to serve water that exceeds the action level for perchlorate and notified the public. FISCAL IMPACT Funds from the Water Operations Capital Equipment Account Number 521-8100-8101-4955 were used. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT None. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Colton Utility Authority accept the pulling, inspection, repairs and reinstallation of equipment at Well #22 as 100% Complete. The Colton Utility Authority is also requested to authorize the Director of Water and Wastewater Operations to file the necessary Notice of Completion documents.
