AGENDA 8/17/93 �o ��Dtrl i17�o btJ✓4 1(e)i); August 17, 1993 TO: Arcadia City Council FROM: Joseph R. Lopez Director of Public Works / Eldon G. Davidson EO Water Manager SUBJECT: Authorization to Retain a Consultant to Provide Design Services for Huntington Drive Rehabilitation (Santa Anita Avenue to Fifth Avenue) and Huntington Drive Water Line Reconstruction (Santa Anita Avenue to Second Avenue) BACKGROUND: At their meeting on August 3 , 1993 , the City Council adopted the Downtown Revitalization Strategy and Program Concept. In another action by the Council, staff was authorized to retain Freedman, Tung and Bottomley (FTB) , with ASL Consulting Engineers as a subcontractor, to design the Huntington Drive/First Avenue Streetscape Improvements. In yet another action, the City Council directed staff to report back with a proposal from ASL for the design of Huntington Drive Rehabilitation (overlay) and Huntington Drive water line reconstruction. DISCUSSION: Huntington Drive Rehabilitation Project This project involves the cold-planing of the existing asphalt pavement and construction of new asphalt pavement overlay on Huntington Drive between Santa Anita Avenue and Fifth Avenue. The portion of the project between Santa Anita Avenue and Second Avenue is within the area of the Downtown Revitalization. The project is in the approved Capital Improvement Program with $900, 000 budgeted from the Gas Tax Fund. ASL has provided the City with a proposal to prepare the plans and specifications (P&S) for this project. The P&S, when completed, would be combined with the P&S for the Huntington Drive/First Avenue Streetscape Improvements. ASL proposes to do this work at a cost of $20, 000. Huntington Drive Water Line Reconstruction Project Prior to having any knowledge of the specific design concepts for Huntington Drive Streetscape Improvements, the Water Division had approval from the City Council to construct two water projects on Huntington Drive between Santa Anita Avenue and Second Avenue. The two water projects are described below: LASER 9_ 7 - 9 _3 1. Cement Lining of Existing 16" Steel Water Line This project involves cement lining of the existing 16" water line in Huntington Drive within the area of the Downtown Revitalization. The City Council, on February 2 , 1993 , appropriated $185, 000 from the Water Facilities Replacement Fund to construct the project. The existing 16" water main was constructed in 1936 and has experienced a major leak in January 1993 . The purpose of the project was to prevent future leaks in the 16" water main especially after the construction of the new roadway. 2. Construction of ten (10) - 8" Water Main Laterals in Huntington Drive This project involves constructing five (5) - 8" water main laterals on each side of Huntington Drive (see Attachment 1) . There is $50, 000 budgeted in the approved Capital Improvement Program from the Water Facilities Replacement Fund. The purpose of this project was to avoid perpendicular street cuts for new water services after completion of the new asphalt pavement. Each property owner needing a new water service would still be required to extend the 8" lateral longitudinally in Huntington Drive to provide water service connection to their building. Since some specific design concepts for Huntington Drive Streetscape Improvements have been made available, Water Division staff felt it necessary to re-evaluate these two projects to determine if they could be modified to better serve the Downtown Revitalization area. One of the key factors in our re-evaluation was to develop a water project that would eliminate the need to replace the existing 16" water main in the near future and minimize street cuts for the longest period of time possible. A second factor was to have water facilities located in Huntington Drive in an area that would require the least amount of street cuts when adding new water services in the future. After careful review of these two factors, it was concluded by staff that the two water projects should be replaced with a new water main replacement project. Essentially, this means that the existing 16" water main (constructed in 1936) would be abandoned in place and two new water mains would be constructed near the gutter on the north and south side of Huntington Drive (Parallel Main Project -. PMP) . (See Attachment 2) The construction of the PMP would allow future water services (domestic and fire) to be added with only minor street cuts (approximately 4' x 4' ) for connection purposes rather than making any perpendicular or longitudinal street cuts to access existing mains. Without the PMP, any new water service would involve a longitudinal street cut from 50' to 150' in length to connect the property owner's water service to the new 8" laterals. If the property owner did not connect to the new 8" laterals, then the -2- LASER IMAGED only other location for a new water service would be at the existing 16" water main near the median in Huntington Drive which would involve a perpendicular street cut. One economic benefit of the PMP is that new ductile iron mains would last approximately 50 years longer than the cement lining of the existing 16" water main. Another economic benefit would be realized by the business owners because their costs to install a new water service (domestic and fire) would be much cheaper. Depending on the location of a particular property, a business owner could save between $5, 000 and $15, 000 as a result of the PMP because the PMP would greatly reduce the amount of water main work required to construct a new water service. It is staff's recommendation that the two prior approved water projects be eliminated and replaced with the PMP. The estimated cost to construct the PMP is $415, 000. With the approval of City Council, staff would utilize the already approved funds of $235, 000 toward the PMP. If the PMP is approved, staff requests that the City Council appropriate an additional $180, 000 from the Facilities Replacement Fund for a total of $415, 000 for the PMP. ASL has provided the Water Division with a proposal to prepare the plans and specifications (P&S) for the PMP in Huntington Drive. As with the P&S for Huntington Drive Rehabilitation, the P&S for the PMP would be combined with the P&S for the Streetscape Project. ASL proposes to do this work for $13, 500. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize staff to replace the two prior approved water projects (cement lining of existing 16" main and 8" water main laterals) with the Parallel Main Project in Huntington Drive from Santa Anita Avenue to Second Avenue. 2 . Appropriate an additional $180, 000 from the Water Facilities Replacement Fund for the Parallel Main Project. 3 . Authorize staff to issue a Purchase Order to retain ASL Consulting Engineers in the amount of $33 , 500 to prepare plans and specifications for Huntington Drive Rehabilitation and Huntington Drive Water Line Reconstruction (Parallel Main Project) .
