| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
On behalf of County Service Area (CSA) No. 6-Jones Valley Water, approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an amendment, effective date of signing, to the agreement with PACE Engineering, Inc. to increase compensation by $25,100, for a new total not to exceed $154,000, and to retain the term July 18, 2017 through July 17, 2020, to provide additional design services to add a backwash pump and design for a new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, in addition to the existing leak detection and meter replacement project. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
Engineering services are proposed to design automated controls and a backwash pump for the CSA. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
County Service Area No. 6-Jones Valley Water (CSA) provides potable water to 500 customers. A state grant was received to conduct leak detection and design a meter replacement project in the CSA. On July 18, 2017, the Board approved a related engineering services agreement with PACE Engineering, Inc. On November 7, 2017, the Board amended that agreement to include associated environmental studies.
Water is pumped out of the Shasta Lake, filtered, chlorinated and delivered to customers. Winter storm events create high turbidity in the Lake. The treatment plant must be operated manually and lengthy backwash cycles are required. The State Division of Drinking Water has recommended automated controls and a backwash pump to enhance performance. The State has agreed to fund the associated engineering work under their current grant. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to approve the amendment. Existing operations would continue. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has approved the amendment as to form. Risk Management has reviewed and approved the amendment. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The proposed work will be funded through the existing $200,000 State grant. Adequate funds are included in the Adopted 2017/2018 CSA No. 6 budget. There is no General Fund Impact. |
