MAIN STREET RESERVOIR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council authorize staff to solicit
proposals for the preparation of the site investigation/ plan and
environmental documentation for a 2.2 million gallon reservoir
at the Main Street site and authorize a supplemental budget
appropriation in the amount of $40,000 from the Water Capital
Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The recent Water System Storage Evaluation Study indicated that
the City's water system has significant deficiencies in its
reservoir storage. The Main Street site has been identified as
a logical location on which to construct a major storage
facility. Staff has also identified this site as a priority
site to have on line to facilitate the reconstruction of the
other reservoirs identified within the study.
DISCUSSION:
The Main Street site located at 235 East Main Street, currently
houses an office building, a vacant house, a water operations
shop building, a small 180,000 gallon storage facility, two
water wells, the denitrif ication plant and miscellaneous storage
areas. In addition to the existing site, the City is in the
process of acquiring the vacant parcel on Prospect Avenue
located northerly of the Main Street site. Prior to the final
structural design of the reservoir, staff is recommending that
a site investigation/plan and environmental documentation be
completed prior to commencing with the final reservoir
structural design and plans. It is estimated that this work
will cost about $40,000.00. The final design cost is estimated
to be $260,000.00 in addition to the previously mentioned
$40,000.00. The site investigation/plan will also address the
impact of the reservoir location to the denitrification plant,
the existing wells, the office building and the operations shop
building.
The proposed reservoir would provide an additional 2.2 million
gallons of storage at an estimated $3,000,000 construction cost.
Construction funding for this project has not been identified at
this time, but will be addressed in March, 1991 as outlined in
the City Managers December 19, 1990 memorandum.
Staff is requesting authorization to solicit proposals for the
preparation of the site investigation/plan and environmental
documentation and a supplemental budget appropriation from the
Water Capital Fund in the estimated amount of $40,000.00.
