SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATION AND AUTHORIZATION TO
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A WICK IRRIGATION
SYSTEM ON JAMBOREE ROAD (CIP NO. 1538)
SUMMARY
The installation of the Wick Irrigation System on Jamboree Road is a joint project with the
Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) that will modify a portion of the existing irrigation system
to evaluate the potential water saving and reduction in water run-off in the medians.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 02-79 approving the plans and
specifications for the installation of the Wick Irrigation System on Jamboree Road, and
authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2002/2003 Capital Improvement Project budget for Jamboree Road Irrigation system
replacement (CIP NO. 1538) provides adequate funds for this project. The engineer's
estimate for this portion of work is $25,000, of which IRWD will reimburse the City 50% or
$12,500 as their share of this joint project.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Tustin and the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) executed an agreement on
January 31, 2002 for the design and construction of the proposed demonstration project.
The agreement .provides for an equal share of the construction costs between the City of
Tustin and IRWD, and for IRWD to pay for the total cost of the design. The project will
modify a portion of the existing irrigation system (4 irrigation valves) on Jamboree Road at
Patriot Way to install new water conservation components. This demonstration/modification
will. be evaluated over a period of time for efficiency and water usage. If successful, the
system may be expanded to the rest of the medians on Jamboree Road and eventually to
other locations throughout the City. This project will reduce water run-off and assist with the
City's compliance with new NPDES requirements while also extending the life expectancy of
the pavement.
