CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item ReportMeeting Date: December 17, 2019Submitted by: Robert KotasekSubmitting Department: Engineering Item Type: ResolutionAgenda Section:

Subject:Consider approving a budget amendment ordinance for the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Storm Water Utility budgetto transfer $145,000.00 from the Office Creek Stream Bank Protection at Bristol Oaks Apartments project to theEastvale Storm Drain Improvements project. (Hartline)

Suggested Action:Summary of Request:Consider approval of a budget amendment resolution for the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Storm Water Utility budgetto transfer $145,000.00 from the Office Creek Stream Bank Protection at Bristol Oaks Apartments project to theEastvale Storm Drain Improvements project.

Background:During an inspection of Office Creek performed by city staff in 2018, erosion issues were identified on thechannel bank of Office Creek near the Bristol Oaks Apartments. A budget of $230,000.00 was approved in thisyear’s fiscal budget for design and construction services to help improve the erosion issues at this location. During a subsequent site visit in 2019, staff has determined that these erosion issues are stable enough todelay repairs in this area so that another project can be completed using this funding.

Staff is requesting that $145,000.00 be transferred from this project and be reallocated to the Eastvale StormDrain Improvements Project. Public storm water drainage from the Eastvale subdivision currently collects at thesoutheast corner of Lakecrest Drive and West Shore Drive and backs up onto the residential property at thislocation. It has been determined that a closed conduit storm drain system is necessary in order to improve theoverall subdivision drainage in this area and will also prevent public drainage from collecting on the residentialproperty. Transferring these funds to this project will also allow staff to complete this drainage work prior torepaving the asphalt roads in the Eastvale Subdivision that will begin in 2020. This drainage project was recentlyadvertised for bid and the low bidder was Iron T Construction, Inc. at a cost of $144,811.00. To fund theconstruction for this project, a transfer of Storm Water Utility funding from the Office Creek Stream BankProtection at Bristol Oaks Apartments project to the Eastvale Strom Drain Improvements project is necessary.

The Office Creek Stream Bank Protection at Bristol Oaks Apartments project will be designed and constructedin the future when an additional Storm Water Utility funding becomes available.

Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of a budget amendment resolution for the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Storm WaterUtility budget to transfer $145,000.00 from the Office Creek Stream Bank Protection at Bristol Oaks Apartmentsproject to the Eastvale Storm Drain Improvements project.

CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item ReportMeeting Date: December 17, 2019Submitted by: Evan GroeschelSubmitting Department: Public Works/Water Distribution Item Type: PresentationAgenda Section:

Subject:Discuss and consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement withInsituform Technologies, LLC for the rehabilitation of Curry Drive and Carr Street sewer lines in the amount of$381,034.50 utilizing the Local Purchasing Cooperative Contract. (Groeschel)

Suggested Action:This project is to replace the sewer main under Curry Drive and Carr Street. We recently had an issue where aportion of the main collapsed due to deterioration of the pipe. While making the repair to the main it wasobserved that the wall thickness of the pipe was non uniform and lacked the structural integrity required to beconsidered reliable. While the repair was successful, this line has been keenly observed until the project ofreplacing it could be put in motion. While discussing the different methods and options for replacing the linesuch as traditional open trench methods or CIPP (Cured-in-Place Piping) it was agreed that CIPP would be themost economical, expeditious and least impactful option opposed to traditional open trench which would takelonger to complete, could be more costly and cause unnecessary disruption to our citizens. CIPP is atrenchless technology where a liner is place inside an existing pipe and is then cured allowing for the existingpipe being replaced to no longer be needed for service. This allows for a quick turn-around for reinstatingservice to the public while minimizing the negative impacts commonly experienced from construction oftraditional methods. The five step CIPP process:Step 1: The composite materials are saturated with a thermosetting epoxy resin system either on the jobsite orin an authorized Insituform wetout facility.Step 2: Using water or air pressure, the tube is then inserted into the host pipe by either a pull-in or inversionmethod.Step 3: Following installation, hot water or steam is circulated throughout the tube to cure the thermosettingresin.Step 4: The pipe is cooled, the ends are cut off and the pipe is returned to service. Lined sections arereestablished to the existing system using standard pipe fittings.Step 5: Service connections on the existing host pipe are robotically restored from inside the lined main. Usinginnovative technology to locate the connections from inside a lined main, a remote operator robotically cutsthrough the liner at each service opening.

Item Title:

Curry/Carr CIPP (Cured-in-Place Piping) sewer rehabilitation.

Background:

This project is to replace the sewer main under Curry Drive and Carr Street. We recently had an issue where a portion of the main collapsed due to deterioration of the pipe. While making the repair to the main it was observed that the wall thickness of the pipe was non uniform and lacked the structural integrity required to be considered reliable. While the repair was successful, this line has been keenly observed until the project of replacing it could be put in motion. While discussing the different methods and options for replacing the line such as traditional open trench methods or CIPP (Cured-in-Place Piping) it was agreed that CIPP would be the most economical, expeditious and least impactful option opposed to traditional open trench which would take longer to complete, could be more costly and cause unnecessary disruption to our citizens. CIPP is a trenchless technology where a liner is place inside an existing pipe and is then cured allowing for the existing pipe being replaced to no longer be needed for service. This allows for a quick turn-around for reinstating service to the public while minimizing the negative impacts commonly experienced from construction of traditional methods.

Cured-in Place Piping (CIPP) Open Trench Method

The five step CIPP process:

Step 1: The composite materials are saturated with a thermosetting epoxy resin system either on the jobsite or in an authorized Insituform wetout facility.

Step 2: Using water or air pressure, the tube is then inserted into the host pipe by either a pull-in or inversion method.

Step 3: Following installation, hot water or steam is circulated throughout the tube to cure the thermosetting resin.

Step 4: The pipe is cooled, the ends are cut off and the pipe is returned to service. Lined sections are reestablished to the existing system using standard pipe fittings.
