Workshop Memorandum 19-028
Date: January 29, 2019
Prepared By: Matthew Porras, Implementation Manager
Subject: Status Report on the Construction of an 8-Inch Sewer Mainline in Yucaipa
Boulevard
Project Overview: 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.
Financial Consideration: 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.
Current Update: The District’s contractor (Weka, Inc.) is constructing lateral lines in the areas of
completed main line. Although the District’s contractor experienced numerous conflicts in the
main line installation, as well as a few rain days, the project’s overall timeline remains mostly
intact. City of Yucaipa is providing traffic control in Yucaipa Boulevard for the District’s contractor.
