BACKGROUND
Authorization to advertise for bids was originally received from the City Council on March 1, 1999.
Although the City received interest fi'om a number 'of contractors no bids were received on the scheduled
bid date. A number of contractors stated after the bid date that they did not have time to pre_pare a bid
because of the numerous other projects bidding during this time period. A number of general contractors
were contacted and have stated they will have time to prepare a bid in June for this project.
The construction of the well site facilities upgrades was budgeted as Water Capital Improvement Program
project within the current Fiscal Year and are Phase III projects to be constructed under the Program
Management Contract with ASL Consulting Engineers. City Project No. 600077 consists of the
replacement of the electrical equipment at the Beneta, Pankey, Prospect, Tustin Avenue, Walnut and Yorba
Well Sites and the implementation of automated chlorination at the Beneta, Yorba, and Walnut Well Sites.
Construction of these improvements will enhance safety at the existing sites, improve the electrical
reliabiliD~ and enable the maintenance of a chlorine residual throughout the distribution system for the
protection of public health.
