The City has budgeted funds for two sewer projects in this year's
Capital Improvement Program. project 51-06 budgeted funds to hire a
consultant to investigate the existing sewer lines in the Country Club
area. These sewers have been a continuous maintenance problem and
expense to the City. The second project, 51-07 & BF-l, is the
reconstruction of an existing concrete sewer main between "G" and "J"
Streets along the Coronado branch line of the railroad (west of the 1-5
freeway). We suspect that this main is falling apart. Included in the
$340,000 budgeted for these two projects was approximately $13,000 to
cover the costs of engineering consultant fees to investigate and
prepare a report on the existing condition of the sewers and make
recommendations as to what type of corrective action should be made to
repair and/or replace the sewers. It is my

TOTAL FUNDS
$28,000.00
Total funding available for the two projects is $340,000. We
anticipated that a consultant study would cost approximately $13,000.
We originally anticipated that any cleaning necessary would be done by
City crews. In discussion the project with the consultant, we became
convinced that it would be better to have the consultant be responsible
for all the phases of the project (cleaning, T.V. inspection, and
report). That way, the consultant is held accountable that the sewers
will be clean enough for T.V. inspection. If we cleaned the lines'with
City crews, and the T.V. inspection wasn't adequate, excess costs would
be involved. The consultant was unwilling to give us a fixed cost if we
cleaned the lines.
