Also, after cleaning <br />and reinspecting the park’s storm drain outfalls, two additional outfalls were identified as <br />needing repairs. On February 1, 2022, the City Council authorized a task authorization <br />amendment for an additional $36,915 to complete the design and prepare biddable <br />construction documents, increasing the total task amount from $74,480 to $111,395. <br /> <br />On January 17, 2023, the City Council awarded the subject project to Golden Bay <br />Construction, Inc. for $1,561,960 and authorized staff to approve and execute project change <br />order(s) for a not-to-exceed project contingency amount of $235,000 (approximately 15 <br />percent), for unforeseen yet necessary related work. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />The designed system diverts recycled irrigation water collected in the underdrain system to the <br />sanitary sewer for treatment at the DSRSD plant as required by the State Water Board. The <br />system design includes valves that will allow the underdrain system to discharge to the storm <br />drain system during the wet weather season when the irrigation system is disabled. This <br />valving will avoid the expense of unnecessarily sending stormwater to the DSRSD plant for <br />treatment. <br /> <br />The work included the installation of 1,500 linear feet of new eight-inch gravity flow recycled <br />water pipe by open trench and horizontal directional drill operations, 14 new manhole <br />structures, two recycled water package pump stations with electrical and controls systems, and <br />600 linear feet of new two-and-a-half-inch PVC recycled water force mains by open trench. <br />The project also rehabilitated four concrete storm drain outfalls, including 570 linear feet of <br />existing 18- to 48-inch-diameter corrugated metal storm drainpipe using a cured-in-place pipe <br />liner. <br /> <br />During construction, there was minimal impact on the Val Vista Community Park’s daily field <br />usage. The park was open to the public during construction and the 2023 sports tournament <br />season. <br /> <br />DSRSD assessed a one-time capacity charge in the amount of $17,367 for diverting the park’s <br />soccer field underdrain recycled water to the sanitary sewer system. The fee was required for <br />the generation of additional flow and treatment of BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and SS <br />(Suspended Solids). Annual sewer fees, currently in the amount of $525, will be added to the <br />sewer billing account of Val Vista Park’s concession building for generating extra wastewater <br />flow into the sanitary sewer networks. The annual rates, which include local Pleasanton sewer <br />and regional DSRSD fees, are based on the assumed flow of 220 gallons per day or the <br />equivalent of one dwelling unit. <br /> <br />The City's on-call vendor performed miscellaneous park drainage improvements, including the <br />placement of cobblestone around inlets to prevent larger pieces of bark and mulch from <br />entering the drainage system and the installation of a chain-link fence to enclose the pump <br />control panels securely. <br /> <br />The project greatly reduced the efforts required to store and pump the recycled water as the <br />old manual operation was very labor-intensive and required continuous monitoring. <br /> <br />Page 44 of 554
