CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the Council Meeting of May 16, 2000 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL: HENRY T. GARCIA, CITY MANAGER FROM: THOMAS K. CLARKE, UTILITY DIRECTOR _<M� SUBJECT: ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION TO DECLARE THAT EMERGENCY CONDITIONS EXISTED AT THE CITY'S 24" WATER TRANSMISSION LINE, AND DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE UTILITY DIRECTOR TO ORDER ACTIONS REQUIRED AND AUTHORIZE PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT NOT - TO -EXCEED $34,104 DATE: MAY 4, 2000 BACKGROUND: A 24" water transmission line extends from the City's northern well fields south into the City. The transmission line crosses the intersection of La Cadena Drive, Bordwell Street and Laurel Street. Located at various locations along the water transmission line are valves that allows the Water Division to stop the water from flowing at any given point, when needed. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The construction of a new sewer main in Laurel Street from the railroad tracks east to Bordwell Street and La Cadena Drive was halted due to the Water Division's inability to stop the flow of water in the transmission line. It has been determined that the valves need to be replaced. In order to do so, two plugs must be inserted into the transmission line to stop the flow of water during the installation of the new valves. Only three companies perform this type of service, and a quote was requested from each, however only two responded. Listed below are the results: 1. International Flow Technologies $18,900 Cost for additional days beyond estimated time to complete installation of valves $625 2. Kopple Company - Flowserve $19,807 Cost for additional days beyond estimated time to complete installation of valves $850 The Water Division is not equipped to install the size of valves required for the transmission line. Therefore, a quote was obtained from a local contractor who is able to install the needed valves. EI -Co Contractors will install the two valves for $11,104. Page 1 of 2 Item #14
