Ready, City Manager BY: Engineering Services Department SUMMARY Formal City Council acceptance of the Calle Palo Fierro Sewer Line Replacement, City Project No.16-14, is required to document the completion of the public works improvement, and to allow the City's filing of a Notice of Completion with the Riverside County Recorder in accordance with Section 9200 of the California Civil Code. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Accept the public works improvement identified as the Calle Palo Fierro Sewer Line Replacement, City Project No. 16-14, as completed in accordance with the plans and specifications; and 2) Authorize the City Engineer to execute and file for recordation with the Riverside County Recorder a Notice of Completion for Calle Palo Fierro Sewer Line Replacement, City Project No. 16-14. STAFF ANALYSIS: The City has approximately 230 miles of sewer mainline in its sewer collection system that conveys untreated sewage to the Wastewater Treatment Plant ("WWTP") where it is treated for reuse and reclaimed water purposes. On November 4, 2015, the City Council approved a Wastewater Services Agreement (O&M) with Veolia Water West Operating Services, Inc., ("Veolia"), providing for Veolia's operation and maintenance of the City's sewer collection system and WWTP. As part of Veolia's services, Veolia monitors the sewer collection system by routinely video-taping, recording, and providing condition ratings for each sewer line segments and sewer manholes. During its routine maintenance and inspection of the sewer collection system, Veolia identified the sewer line segment between sewer manhole ITEM NO. 1-•E- E12039 and E12045 in need of replacement due to several areas along the sewer line that are cracked, broken, and deformed. Veolia confirmed that soil has intruded into the sewer line at two locations where the sewer line has broken and tree roots have intruded into the sewer flow. Additionally, Veolia identified a sag in the sewer line where its video camera could not access. Veolia has rated this segment of sewer line at 5, in accordance with Veolia's Pipeline Assessment Certification Program ("PACP"). The PACP ratings range from 1 to 5 with repairs required for ratings of 3 or higher; a rating of 5 is the worst condition and requires replacement. A location map of the proposed sewer line replacement between manholes E12039 and E12045 is shown in Figure 1 and a Vicinity Map showing a 500 feet radius of the project location is provided as Attachment 1. r . . A. o a o 2. Figure 1 Section 5.3 of the Operations and Maintenance Agreement, allows Veolia to undertake such a capital project. On October 5, 2016, the City Council authorized the City Engineer to issue a Notice to Proceed (NTP) Authorizing Veolia West Operation Services, Inc. (Veolia) in the amount of $90,568, for the Calle Palo Fierrc Sewer Line Replacement, City Project No. 16-14, (the "Project"). Veolia has completed the replacement of approximately 200 linear feet of 12" sewer main (manhole to manhole) on the segment between sewer manholes E12039 and E12045 on Calle Palo Fierro north of Sonora shown as the highlighted segment in Figure 1. The line segment was replaced due to several areas along the sewer line that were cracked, broken, had 02 severe root intrusion, and the line was also unreachable by CCTV video camera to perform maintenance. With any capital project undertaken by Veolia, Veolia operates as the general contractor under its own contractor's license. As the general contractor, Veolia is responsible for ensuring all construction is performed in accordance with State and federal rules and regulations, and is liable for all risks and damages that may occur. Accordingly, Veolia obtains general liability insurance for each project, which is passed as a direct cost to the City. The Project was administered and contracted to Veolia, who subcontracted to G&M Construction the construction of the sewer line. Veolia has determined that G&M has satisfactorily completed the Project on November 15, 2016, has conducted a final inspection and found the work to be in compliance with the plans, specifications and standards of the City of Palm Springs as evidenced by letter from Veolia dated February 21, 2017, and included as Attachment 2. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Project, as required by Section 9200 of the California Civil Code, and authorize the City Engineer to file and record a Notice of Completion within 15 days of the City Council's action. A copy of the Notice of Completion to be submitted to the County is included as Attachment 3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment, and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 projects consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, which includes restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures, or facilities to meet current standards of public health and safety. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15301(d), staff determined that repair of the sewer line on Calle Palo Fierro is considered categorically exempt from CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT: The Project was funded through Wastewater Treatment Funds under account no. 420- 6800-57041. The project had no contract change orders. Five percent retention is held for final payment until 30 days after the filing of the Notice of Completion. The total amount for construction was $90,568. Table 1 below is a summary of the total costs incurred for the Project. 03 FY 15116 FY 16/17 Phase Expenditure Expenditure Final Cost Administration & Design $19,500 $19,500 Construction Contract $90,568 $90,568 Total Cost $19,500 $90,568 $110,068 Table 1 The Project was funded through the following sources as shown in Table 2: Fund Name Account Actual VWVfP Funds 420-6800-57041 $110,068 Total Expenditures for Project $110,068 Project Budget $110,068 Remaining Balance $0 Table 2 The City is holding retention of $4,528.40 for Veolia, pending acceptance of the improvements and filing of the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's office.
