The project will rehabilitate approximately 1,967 linear feet of 24-inch, 1,849 linear feet of 30-inch, and 3,907 linear feet of 48-inch sewer trunk lines along Navy Drive between Fresno Avenue and I-5 (Attachment A). The project was included in the 2015-20 Five-Year CIP.
On March 10, 2015, by Motion No. 2015-03-10-1401, Council approved a Professional Services Contract for design services. Design was completed and advertised for construction bids in April and July of 2017. However, the project bids were rejected due to the price and eventually put on hold pending completion of the City’s Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update process. The Master Plan Update process was a comprehensive study of the City’s entire sanitary sewer system and included revalidating the Navy Drive project. The Master Plan Update project took many years and was completed in FY 2023-24. On July 17, 2024, the City Manager approved a Professional Services Contract for additional services to update the plans, specifications, and estimates documents based on the Master Plan Update project.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. On August 20, 2024, by Motion No. 2024-08-20-1203, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2029. The CWTA was applied to this project as the estimated construction cost is over $1 million.
