Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Maintenance of Laguna County Sanitation District Wastewater Reclamation Plant Storage Ponds, Fifth District, as follows:
Acting as the Board of Directors, Laguna County Sanitation District:
a) Approve plans and specifications for Laguna County Sanitation District Wastewater Reclamation Plant Pond Slide Gates Replacement project;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a contract with W.M. Lyles Company, Incorporated, (not a local vendor), 1210 West Olive Avenue, Fresno, CA 93728, in the base amount of $162,416.00 for maintenance and replacement of pond slide gates and pipes at the Laguna County Sanitation District wastewater reclamation plant, subject to the provisions of the documents and certifications as set forth in the plans and specifications applicable to the project and as required by California Law;
c) Authorize the Director of Public Works, or his designee, to approve change orders in connection with the Contract in an amount not to exceed $15,000.00;
d) Find that the maintenance and installation of infrastructure for the pond system at the Laguna County Sanitation District Wastewater Reclamation Plant is an exception to Public Project requirements pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22002(d)(5); and
e) Determine that the proposed actions are categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Sections 15301, subdivision (a), and 15302 of the state CEQA Guidelines, because the project involves the maintenance and replacement of equipment at an existing wastewater reclamation facility involving negligible or no expansion of the existing use and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption on that basis.
