Council accepts trunk-line manhole project; staff cites major drop in inflow
Summary
The council accepted final completion for the trunk-line manhole rehabilitation project and approved associated change orders and payouts; staff reported roughly 4,000,000 fewer gallons of inflow to the system compared with last year and described storm-driven spikes.
The council voted to accept final completion of the trunk-line manhole rehabilitation project (Resolution 23) after approving a change order and a payout related to the work. Staff said the rehabilitation appears to have significantly reduced infiltration at the system: "I believe we had about 4,000,000 gallons less of of water that was going in there this year than we did the previous year," a staff member reported during the meeting.
Council approved change order number 3 (an $11,500 increase) and payout number 2 for $81,877.70 associated with the project before adopting the resolution accepting final completion. Staff and council members also discussed how large storm events drive temporary spikes (staff cited figures in the transcript noting roughly 12,000,000 gallons during a large storm versus about 1,200,000 in drought conditions) and agreed to continue monitoring and follow up reporting from the contractor and operations staff.
