6. Discussion and Background
Existing water mains on Santiago Blvd. and Nohl Ranch Rd. are scheduled to be replaced as part of the Annual Pipeline Renewal Project. These water mains were constructed in the late 1960s and have had leaks due to corrosive soils, and are undersized per current standards. The repairs are challenging as they also impact large service areas.
Plans and Specifications have been prepared by water engineering staff to replace these existing water mains. The new equipment will provide more reliable water service and fire protection to the residents in the area.
The scope of work consists of utility potholing, installation of approximately 3,000 feet of new water mains, new water meters, lateral services, fire hydrants, valves, fittings, and other appurtenances in accordance with current water standards.
The engineering estimate for construction costs for this project is $925,830. Construction is scheduled to begin in January of 2022 and is expected to be completed within 120 calendar days.
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA guidelines Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” Class 1 (c). The CEQA Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Recorder’s Office upon Council’s approval of the plans and specifications.
