BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: May 3, 2013 <br />ITEM NO: 4 <br />SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF THE HEDRICK AVENUE AND JONES AVENUE WATER <br />MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT — WORK ORDER NO. 1318305 <br />ISSUE: <br />The item for Board of Public Utilities consideration is approval of the capital expenditure in the amount of <br />$205,500 to construct the Hedrick Avenue and Jones Avenue Water Main Replacement Project. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />That the Board of Public Utilities approve the capital expenditure of $205,500 for Work Order No. <br />1318305 which includes all design, construction, paving, contract administration and construction <br />contingency costs for the Hedrick Avenue and Jones Avenue Water Main Replacement Project. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The construction of the Hedrick Avenue and Jones Avenue Water Main Replacement Project is part of <br />Riverside Public Utilities' (RPU) on -going water main replacement program to replace old and high <br />priority leaky mains. The project area consists of an existing 10 -inch steel water main that was installed <br />in 1955 and has experienced several leaks. The work will entail the construction of approximately 600 <br />linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron pipe, seven service tie -overs and four system connections. The work <br />identified will be constructed by the Water Division's field forces. <br />Once the new water pipelines are installed, RPU will be responsible for standard trench repaving in <br />accordance with the Public Works paving standards. Due to the relatively small size of the project area, <br />the trench resurfacing work will be performed by the Public Works Department Streets Division. <br />However, if the backlog of Streets Division projects precludes the paving to occur on schedule, staff will <br />solicit paving bids from RPU's Contractor Panel. A budgetary estimate for the paving work has been <br />included in this authorization. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The total capital expenditure for Work Order No. 1318305 is estimated to be $205,500, as summarized in <br />the following table: <br />Description <br />Cost <br />Percent of Total <br />Design <br />$8,000 <br />3.9% <br />Construction (City Forces) <br />$125,000 <br />60.8% <br />Construction Contingency <br />$12,500 <br />6.1% <br />Paving Budget <br />$50,000 <br />24.4% <br />Construction Survey /Testing <br />$5,000 <br />2.4% <br />Contract Management/Inspection (Paving) <br />$5,000 <br />2.4% <br />Work Order Total <br />$205,500 <br />100% <br />
