7. REPORT ITEMS  
7.1  
REPORT - CONTRACT AWARD - LAGUNA TREATMENT PLANT  
DISINFECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT  
BACKGROUND: Ultraviolet (UV) light is the primary disinfection  
process for the Laguna Treatment Plant (LTP). In 2012, the State  
Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (DDW)  
re-evaluated and subsequently de-rated the disinfection system  
capacity from 67 million gallons per day (MGD) to 48.5 MGD, creating a  
disinfection deficiency under some wet weather conditions. The UV  
system has been operating over 20 years and is beyond its useful  
service life. Plant staff must provide greater resources to address  
disinfection system limitations such as periodic UV under-dose, coliform  
exceedance, and cleaning frequency issues. These conditions triggered  
the need to evaluate disinfection equipment options to ensure that LTP  
has adequate disinfection capacity of up to 67 million gallons per day.  
Through various analyses, the City determined that replacing the  
existing UV system with a new UV system is the most feasible approach  
to address the capacity and reliability deficiencies.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Contract Review  
Subcommittee and the Transportation and Public Works and Water  
Departments that the Board of Public Utilities, by motion, approve the  
project and award Construction Contract No. C00284 in the amount of  
$68,109,000 to the lowest responsive bidder, Shimmick Construction  
Company, Inc. for the Laguna Treatment Plant Disinfection  
Improvements Project, approve a 10% contingency, and authorize a  
total contract amount of $74,919,900.
