Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Neil Kaufman
Date: April 28, 2005
Subject: Construction of the Donner Lake Pipelines-2005 Project
1• Why this matter is before the board:
District Staff has prepared a set of Bid Documents for construction of the Donner Lake Pipelines-
2005 Project.
Approval from the Board of Directors is necessary for two issues related to this project;
1) Approval of the plans and specifications for the project
2) Authorization to advertise for Bids
2. History:
The purpose of this project is to continue the District's ongoing efforts of rehabilitation and
reconstruction of the Donner Lake Water System.
3. New information:
This project is smaller in scope than the previous Donner Lake pipeline projects. This project
involves the sliplining of some existing pipelines and installation of new services to customers that
have not yet been replaced. There are also a couple of miscellaneous items such as fire hydrants
that the District was not able to construct in the past.
The portion of the work along Donner Pass Road was originally part of the Installation of
Services for the North Shore of Donner Lake — Contract B project that was constructed last
year. This work includes installation of temporary aboveground piping so that water service can be
maintained while the sliplining is performed. The contractor last year had planned to perform this
work in September and October. However, the significant early snowfall in the Fall of 2004
required that this work be postponed until 2005 due to concerns over freezing of the temporary
aboveground piping. The other portions of the project have not been included in any previous
construction contracts.
4. Recommendation:
I recommend that the Board:
1) Approve of the plans and specifications for the project.
2) Authorize staff to begin advertising for Bids with a Bid Opening Date of June 8, 2005.
