BACKGROUND: On January 11, 2005 the County of Riverside Board of Supervisors approved Tentative Tract Map 30473 and the development of approximately 32 single - family residential lots located along La Sierra Avenue south of McAllister Parkway within the unincorporated limits of the County of Riverside. Although the development is located outside city limits, the development is located within Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) Water Division service boundary. RPU has sufficient existing water infrastructure to serve this development. In order to support and sustain water demands for the proposed development project, the developer obtained approval from the RPU 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. Water plan approval was issued on July 7, 2015. On July 10, 2015, Riverside Board of Public Utilities approved a capital expenditure of $52,492 for City provided construction and inspection services. Following water plan approval, on or about September 25, 2015, RPU was notified by the County of Riverside Inspector for the project that all work in La Sierra Avenue must be constructed during nighttime working hours. Additional construction charges were assessed by RPU to the developer in the amount of $29,474 for the increased labor charges associated with nighttime construction. Staff will perform all construction activities related to system connections to the existing potable water system. RPU construction services consist of installing two 8 -inch system connections and two fire hydrants along La Sierra Avenue. All construction in La Sierra Avenue will be performed during nighttime working hours in accordance with the requirements of the County of Riverside. RPU will also provide inspection services for the 8 -inch and 4 -inch waterlines constructed by the developer's licensed contractor.
