Body
OVERVIEW
The Department of Public Works (DPW) manages a sewer system for communities that are within the jurisdiction of the San Diego County Sanitation District (District). The District's service area encompasses unincorporated communities within Supervisorial Districts 1, and 2 and 4, The District sewer system is comprised of approximately 432 miles of sewer lines, 8,200 maintenance holes, eight pump stations, several pressurized force mains, and three wastewater treatment plants.
The District completed a condition assessment of its entire sewer system in 2021 using closed-circuit television inspections and identified sewer segments that need to be rehabilitated based on consequence and risk of failure. The prioritized list of sewers to be rehabilitated includes various locations in the communities of Lakeside and Alpine. Rehabilitating identified sewer segments will help prevent interruption of sewer service for important daily activities for the community such as taking a shower, flushing toilets, and/or draining a sink. Additionally, it will minimize the likelihood of sewer spills and will allow for efficient transport of wastewater. While rehabilitating sewer segments, sewer service laterals will not be disconnected from the sewer main for more than one workday and the laterals will be monitored to prevent sewage backup. Notices will be sent to property owners in advance for all construction activities. The engineering plans and specifications to rehabilitate identified sewer segments in Lakeside and Alpine are complete and the project is ready to be advertised.
This is a request to approve the advertisement and subsequent award of a construction contract for the Lakeside Small Diameter Sewer Improvements Project. Construct...
