A RESOLUTION DISPENSING WITH BIDDING
PROCEDURES FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A
PERMANENT PUMP STATION FOR WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT NO.3, NOT TO EXCEED $8,000,000,
DUE TO IMMINENT THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH,
SAFETY AND WELFARE.
WHEREAS, on June, 2002, the Buena Vista Phase II sewer trunk line was
completed with major sewer trunk facilities which included a pump station located at the
northwest corner of Gosford Road and McCutchen Road; and
WHEREAS, the pump station was designed as a temporary facility until such
time that nearby Treatment Plant No.3 was expanded and a permanent pump station
installed; and
WHEREAS, on June 17, 2004, approximately 500,000 gallons of wastewater
overflowed the collection system at the corner of McCutchen and Gosford Roads; and
WHEREAS, this was the first of several failures which occurred at the temporary
pump station causing a spill at the intersection of Buena Vista Road and McCutchen
Road, the low point in the system; and
WHEREAS, with the tremendous growth the City has experienced in the last few
years, the flow greatly outpaced design assumptions made when the temporary pump
station was first contemplated; and
WHEREAS, the frequency of problems at the temporary pump station has
steadily increased to the point where the temporary pump station is monitored 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week with the pumps being back-flushed three times a day; and
WHEREAS, a recent analysis of the temporary pump station determined it needs
to be replaced as soon as possible to protect the health, safety and welfare of the
residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, expansion for Wastewater Plant No.3 is currently being designed
and the designers have been working on the project for over two years; and
WHEREAS, if the design and construction of the permanent pump station follows
standard design and formal bidding requirements, the new permanent pump station
would not be operational for approximately eighteen months; and
