Workshop Memorandum 19-002
Date: January 8, 2019
Prepared By: Matthew Porras, Implementation Manager
Subject: Status Report on the Construction of an 8-Inch Sewer Mainline in Yucaipa
Boulevard
Background
On October 4, 2016, the Board of Directors
authorized the General Manager to execute
an Agreement between the City of Yucaipa
and the Yucaipa Valley Water District for
Yucaipa Boulevard Sewer Utility [Director
Memorandum No. 16-094].
On November 14, 2017, the Board of
Directors authorized the District staff to solicit
bids for the construction of Yucaipa Boulevard
Sewer from Hampton Road to 18th Street
[Workshop Memorandum No. 17-163]. The
project includes the construction of
approximately 2,550 linear feet of 8-inch
Vitrified Clay Pipe, including manholes,
laterals and appurtenances. The sewer main
project is categorically exempt from environmental review in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301(C).
As discussed in a Board Workshop on February 13, 2018, the District received 6 bids for the
pipeline project. Weka, Inc. was the low bidder in the amount of $526,193.00. On February 20,
2018 at a regular Board Meeting [Director Memorandum 18-035] the Board of Directors awarded
a construction contract with Weka, Inc. to complete the project.
Funding for this project will be from Sewer Fund, Infrastructure Reserves [GL Account #03-
10311]. This project was not included in the 2017-18 budget, however, there is sufficient funding
available in the reserve fund listed above.
Status Report
Weka, Inc. has made the connection to the manhole in Hampton Road in front of the Chevron gas
station. Progress is hard won with conflicting underground infrastructure all occupying the same
space. The installation of a bored casing is one solution that the District has implemented in
areas where traditional excavation is not feasible. We have installed a 15-foot casing in the
planter bed near the Chevron parking lot to accommodate the existing infrastructure and newly
constructed work. A second casing may need to be installed near Ridgecrest Drive to navigate
