RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2004/2005
BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $232,442 FROM THE
AVAILABLE BALANCE OF THE SEWER FACILITIES
REPLACEMENT FUND FOR EQUIPMENT COSTS FOR
PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS
WHEREAS, PBS&J was hired by the General Services Department to prepare a
Wastewater Master Plan for the City; and
WHEREAS, one of the components of the project was the evaluation of the conditions of
the pipes and structures that make up the wastewater collection system, to determine if the
system was structurally adequate; and
WHEREAS, the data gathered through this process forms the basis of the City's annual
Sewer Rehabilitation Program; and
WHEREAS, when PBS&J was retained to prepare the master plan update, there was
insufficient data to do a system evaluation based on a review of videos ITom a global video
program; and
WHEREAS, since that type of data was unavailable, their analysis was based on a review
of the age of the system and the useful life of the pipes that make up the system; and
WHEREAS, PBS&J determined that the current level of expenditure was insufficient and
needed to be significantly increased to avoid long-term impacts; and
WHEREAS, PBS&J recommended the following measures: the establishment of a video
program that would be dedicated exclusively to videotaping the wastewater collection system;
and
WHEREAS, PBS&J further determined that the results of this effort would indicate a
need for a significant increase in the budget for the Sewer Rehabilitation Program, and estimated
the amount to be approximately $900,000 annually for both the Sewer Replacement and
Rehabilitation Program; and
WHEREAS, approximately 200,000 linear feet of video inspections should be conducted
annually in order to determine the true condition of the sewer system; and
WHEREAS, to accomplish this challenging task, staff evaluated the pros and cons of
contracting out this service versus using in-house staff and determined that it was preferable to
utilize City forces for doing this work; and
WHEREAS, the total impact to the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund is $315,432 and
of this amount, $232,442 will be allocated (one-time cost) for a TV van and equipment costs.
WHEREAS, the ongoing total is anticipated to increase $146,190 annually with no
impact to the general fund.
