Title
Recommendation to Accept the Work of Ranger Pipeline Inc. for Cyclic 14 Easement Sewer Rehabilitation Project, No. P.W. 10-17-44. (Public Works 602)
Body
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Amy Wooldridge, Interim City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Alameda (City) has separate sanitary sewer and storm water drainage systems. "Infiltration and inflow" refers to storm water that should enter the storm drainage system, but instead enters the sewer system through cracks and other defects in the sewer pipes. Storm water in the sewer system can cause excessive flows during wet weather events that exceed both local conveyance and regional treatment capacity.
In accordance with requirements of the Consent Decree, the Public Works Department is rehabilitating old, deteriorating sewer pipes. The work in this contract serves as a subset of Project Year 2 and 3 of the 20-Year Rehabilitation Program, where pipe segments are located in easements over private property. Since this project entails work on private property, City staff and the City's contractor, Ranger Pipeline Inc., have continued to conduct extensive outreach to impacted property owners and residents throughout this work. The Cyclic 14 Easement Sewer Rehabilitation project has now been completed by Ranger Pipeline Inc.

As this work is more unique and distinct from simply replacing sewer mains in the public street, the City separately designed and bid this easement work to ensure a contractor with suitable skills and appropriate equipment completed the work. This work is also consistent with and furthers the objectives of the City's 2014 Sewer System Management Plan and adopted Capital Improvement Program.
