RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Public Utilities approve the capital expenditure of $53,157.00 and Work Order No. 1208833 which includes construction and inspection services associated with the single family residential development Tract 35932 -1, BACKGROUND: On February 22, 2011, the City Council approved Tentative Tract Map 35932 associated with the development of 111 single family residential lots located along La Sierra Avenue near Indiana Avenue. Upon City Council approval, the developer divided the Tentative Tract Map into two phases, Tract 35932 -1 and Tract 35932. Tract 35932 -1 consists of 64 lots with the remaining 47 lots associated with Tract 35932. In order to support the project's water demands, the developer obtained approval from the Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) Water Division to construct a potable water system. The developer hired a Registered Civil Engineer to prepare a water plan in conformance with the RPU's Standard Plans and Specifications. RPU approved the water plan on February 5, 2014. In support of the development and in order to ensure RPU protects the water quality provided to its customers, staff will perform all construction activities related to connection with the existing water system. This requires that RPU staff install three 8 -inch system connections, abandon two 4 -inch waterline segments, install one 2 -inch landscape water service and meter and relocate an existing fire hydrant. RPU will also provide inspection for the 8 -inch and 4 -inch waterlines constructed by the developer's licensed contractor. On January 31, 2014, the developer paid the required fees and charges as set forth in Water Rules 10 and 11 in the amount of $223,973.72, of which, $53,157.00 is allocated towards the construction and inspection related services provided by RPU. FISCAL IMPACT: The total capital expenditure for Work Order No. 1208833 is estimated to be $53,157.00. Sufficient funds are available in the Public Utilities' Water System Expansion Account No. 6230000 - 470701 and are fully paid for by the developer of the project.
