Description

San Bruno City Council Meeting January 8, 2013
10c. Authorize Engineering Services for Pressure Regulating Stations

A

Item 10c adopt a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a consult consultant engineering services. Contract west coast associates to provide engineering services for pressure regulating stations on the SFPUC service connections project in an amount not to exceed 120 thousand eight hundred and sixty dollars. Honorable.

B

Mayor councilmembers, Joseph Cervantes is the newest addition to our engineering division, and this will be his first presentation. He came to the city from city of San Jose and he is already taken on huge responsibilities. He is responsible for managing and reviewing all of the development. In the same time, he is key player on many of our major CIP projects.

C

Thank you good evening, mayor and council, as you're likely aware, um this is on as you're likely aware, this city obtains most of its water supply from water wells and from SFPUC pipelines.

C

Currently, the city has five turnouts or connections to these SFPUC pipelines.

C

This project will address three of the five connections or turnouts, the other one is already regulated and that set the sneeze and national intersection and another is that the Whitman way and Courtland drive and that particular location does not need regulation.

C

This project will install two pressure regulating stations at the Sneed and a cherry intersection and one pressure regulating station at the Bay Hill Drive.

C

Now, basically, what these pressure regulation stations do is reduce the pressures from the SFPUC connections, and the benefit for doing this is that the water distribution system can now operate at its design, condition, which is at the lower pressures, and this project can also benefit the upcoming well 15 project. As an example, we can save approximately ninety thousand dollars in costs just by implementing lower pressures in that area, and we could save approximately forty-three thousand dollars in just electrical pumping alone. So, in a ten-year span that can be, you know closer to a million dollars.

C

We went through a competitive RFP process and we are recommending West Yost to do the design on this project and we're recommending them because of their familiarity with the water system in san bruno, and not only that they've also recently installed two pressure regulating stations for the crestmore neighborhood reconstruction project and our water divisions very satisfied with the stations that they've recently built.

C

The design is expected to take about three months and construction will be about six months afterwards, and that concludes my presentation. Are there any questions? Any questions of staff.
