OVERVIEW:

On November 15, 2000 (1), the Board approved the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to form the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority (JPA) on behalf of Alpine Sanitation District, Lakeside Sanitation District, Spring Valley Sanitation District, and the Winter Gardens Sewer Maintenance District. Other member agencies of the JPA are the Cities of Coronado, Del Mar, El Cajon, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Poway, the Lemon Grove Sanitation District, Otay Water District and the Padre Dam Municipal Water District.

National City is now requesting membership in the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority. The Second Amendment to the Joint Powers Authority Agreement will allow National City to become a participating member if approved by all JPA members.
This is a request to approve the Second Amendment to the Metro Wastewater Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to add National City as a participating agency.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, this request will result in no current year or annual cost, and will require no additional staff years.

SAN2. / SUBJECT: / ALPINE SANITATION DISTRICT
ADVERTISE AND AWARD CONTRACT TO REPLACE GALLOWAY WASTEWATER PUMP STATION EQUIPMENT (DISTRICT: 2)

OVERVIEW:

The Department of Public Works has completed plans to replace equipment at the Galloway Wastewater Pump Station on Arnold Way in Alpine (Thomas Guide page 1233; F-5, 2003 edition). The existing pumps, motors, generators, and electrical controls are at the end of their useful life and need to be replaced to assure system reliability and to avoid service interruption.
The Fiscal Year 2002-03 Operational Plan included replacement of existing wastewater pump station equipment at an estimated cost of $1,200,000. A subsequent study determined the equipment needed to be resized to handle peak flows anticipated during the 10-year operational life of the pump equipment, resulting in a revised cost of $1,855,000.
This is a request to establish additional appropriations of $655,000, and approve advertisement and subsequent award to lowest responsible bidder of a contract to construct the wastewater pump station improvements. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2003 and be completed in one year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,200,000 in construction funding was approved in the Fiscal Year 2002-03 Alpine Sanitation District budget. This request establishes additional appropriations in the amount of $655,000. Funding source is Replacement Reserves and Expansion Reserves for the Alpine Sanitation District. If approved, this request will result in $1,855,000 current year cost, no annual cost, and will require the addition of no staff years. There will be no fiscal impact to the County General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
1.  Find in accordance with Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines that the project is exempt from the provisions of the Guidelines since it consists of minor alterations of an existing facility.
2.  Authorize the Chief Financial Officer to reduce Replacement Reserve Designation for Alpine Sanitation District in the amount of $200,000.
3.  Authorize the Chief Financial Officer to reduce Expansion Reserve Designation for Alpine Sanitation District in the amount of $455,000.
4.  Establish appropriations of $655,000 in the Alpine Sanitation District for replacement of Galloway Wastewater Pump Station Equipment, based on Fund Balance available in the Alpine Sanitation District. (4 VOTES)
5.  Authorize the Director, Purchasing and Contracting, to take actions authorized by Section 403 of the Administrative Code with respect to contracting for replacement of Galloway Wastewater Pump Station Equipment.
6.  Designate the Director, Department of Public Works, as the County Officer responsible for administering the construction contract, in accordance with Board Policy F-41, Public Works Construction Contracts.
Relates to Board of Supervisors Agenda Item No. 11

ON MOTION of Director Slater, seconded by Director Roberts, the Board of Directors took action as recommended, on Consent.
