Board awards $1.66 million slip-lining contract to address sewer I&I
Summary
The Lake Arrowhead CSD awarded Insituform a $1,656,784 contract to slip line about 5,533 linear feet of sewer pipe and rehabilitate manholes, authorizing change orders up to $2.5 million to reduce inflow and infiltration under CDO R6V-2013-0022.
The Lake Arrowhead Community Services District Board on Dec. 9 approved a contract with Insituform for Year #1 Slip Lining Project #268, a sewer rehabilitation effort intended to reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I) into the wastewater system.
Engineering Manager Scott Schroder told the Board the contract covers slip lining approximately 5,533 linear feet of pipe and includes manhole rehabilitation. "The project is intended to reduce I&I and ensure compliance with Cease-and-Desist Order No. R6V-2013-0022," Schroder said. Funding will come from the Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan (Fund 210).
The Board authorized the General Manager to add additional footage by change order during construction, not to exceed a total project authorization of $2,500,000. President John Wurm moved the award and Director Jacqueline Brown seconded; the motion carried with Directors Ambrozic, Boydston, Brown and Wurm voting yes. The project was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Staff said the work is a targeted step to meet the District's mandated I&I reduction goals and to extend the service life of aging sewer pipelines. The action follows the District's broader compliance work under the referenced CDO, with staff emphasizing timely implementation to reduce wet-weather flows at the wastewater treatment plant.
