WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1980

Hall Caucus Room.

Present: Barton, Ratty, Bergen, Hoagland
Absent: Payne
Staff Present: Bogart, Hansen, Hostmyer, Needham

The minutes from the regular meeting of January 9, 1980, were
approved as presented.
Transfer of $100,000.00 from 1979/80 Agricultural Water Capital
Improvement Budget to complete final phase of Water Department
operations and conference building was presented to the board for
considara~ion. At this time a brief.explanation followedby Gene
Bogart, Agricultural Water Superintendent. As explained, the
final cost for constructing the Water Department building was'
now established at $269,334.00 and architectural/engineering
fees would add approximately. $27,000.00 to this figure. Because
$200,000.00 was originally budgeted for the building, a transfer
of $100,000.00 wou. ld be required to' award the contract for con-
struction. If transferred, these funds would be replaced in the
1980/81 Capital Improvement Budget. Furniture, fixtures and re-
lated items for the building would, also, be~included in the
1980/81 Capital Budget.
Upon a motion by Councilman Ratty, the Board unanimously approved
the transfer of $100,000.00 Capital ImproVement funds to begin
construction of the Water Department operations and conference
building.
A Resolution of the Water Board of the City of BakersfieLd es-
tablishing boundaries for the service area of the Bakersfield
Municipal Water System (Ashe Division) was presented to the board
to consider for action. Domestic Water Superintendent John Hansen
outlined the areas involved and after discussion by staff and
board, Mr. Hoagland made a motion that the Resolution be adopted.
The motion was passed.
California Water Service Company has provided repairs at three (3)
well sites and the final repair costs for each proj~ect exceeds
the City'S $4,000.00 limitation for work without formal bid pro-
cedures. Mr. Hansen presented these bills to the board for con-
Sideration of payment. Mr. Bergen made a motion that the bills
be approved for payment and that the individual aspects of each
billing be reflected as follows:
a. Estimate No. 63 provided automatic controls for Pump-
ing plant No. 2, so that the wells natural gas engine
would respond to emergency conditions if there was a
power loss, or if the pressUre dropped to..low within
the system. The emergency nature of this repair was
such that this is the only well within the system so
equipped to answer to these conditions.
The following is an itemization of costs for Estimate No. 63:
Labor $2,039.93
Stores Materials 174.29
Contract/Accounts Payable 3,699.51
Construction Overhead .473.10
Total Due $6,386.83
b. Estimate No. 72 removed a burned out 125 horsepower
motor. This work was performed under emergency con-
ditions created by both Pumping Plants No. 3 and
No. 6, being inoperative during the hottest part
of the year. This condition made it extremely
difficult to provide water under normal demands
to northern portion of the system, and it would
have been even more difficult if a fire would
have occurred during peak demands period; therefore,
the decision to order the work.
The following is an itemization of costs for Estimate No. 72:
Motor
Labor $
Stores Materials
Contract/Accounts Payable 6,540.54
Miscellaneous
Construction Overhead 523.24
Total $7,063.78
c. Estimate No. 29 raised the pump'base and adjusted
the pump discharge piping at Pumping Plant No. 8
to protect against flood water contamination. Due
to the rainy season the work was considered to be
of an emergency nature, and was preformed to guard
against flood water contamination.
The following is an itemization of costs for Estimate No 29:
Labor $ 164.48
Stores Materials .25.34
Contract/Accounts Payable 5,402.12
Construction Overhead 447.36
Total Due $6,039.30
The above mentioned invoices total $19,489.91. The motion made
was passed. Mr. Bergen .at this time, also, made a motion that
the staff review the procedures for paying the above bills with
the City Attorney's Office and the Purchasing Department. The
motion was passed.
Staff Comments
John Hansen presented for information copies of the Bid Summary
for the construction of an 18" diameter drain line pipe for PumP-
ing Plant No. 3 of the Ashe Water Division which will be presented
.to the City Council at the meeting tonight.
Board Comments
At this time Councilman Barton informed the board that the Water
Board and the City Council is continuing to receive requests to
use the City's river bed properties, including the 2800 acres, for
various uses from several organizations, among them the Plaza Bobby
Sox Softball League. Mr. Barton and Mr. Bergen stated they felt
the staff should give these requests immediate priority. It was
felt that the Water Department should be the lead-department in
dealing with the above requests, and they should work with Develop-
ment Services and the Public Works Department.
There being no further business to come before the board, Chairman
