Adopt a Resolution Approving the Plans and Specifications, and Calling for Bids for the Sewer Rehabilitation Project on Hesperian Boulevard at West A Street, Project No. 07832, and Approving the Appropriation of $1,350,000 from the Sewer Replacement Fund

The City Council is considering a resolution to approve plans and call for bids for the Sewer Rehabilitation Project on Hesperian Boulevard at West A Street (Project No. 07832). This project involves rehabilitating approximately 700 linear feet of 33-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) sewer main using the trenchless cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method. A localized excavation will also address a section with a significant void. The project is necessary due to the sewer main's age (installed in 1952) and identified structural deficiencies, including a void and general degradation, which pose risks to public health and could lead to costly emergency repairs, similar to a sinkhole incident in June 2024 on a downstream segment.

The estimated total cost for the project is $1,350,000, which will be appropriated from the Sewer Replacement Fund (Fund 611). The construction contract is estimated at $905,000, with an additional $271,500 for contingency and $117,650 for administrative changes.

Key Details:

• Location: Hesperian Boulevard between West A Street and Sueirro Street.
• Method: Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining and localized excavation.
• Funding: $1,350,000 from Sewer Replacement Fund (Fund 611).
• Timeline: Bids to be received by April 14, 2026; construction completion targeted for September 2026.
• Impact: Temporary lane closures in southbound Hesperian Boulevard between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM are anticipated, with access to businesses and properties maintained. No disruption to sewer service is expected.
