Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE Advertisement of the North Richmond Pump Station Diversion Project (WJ7246)
FISCAL IMPACT:
63% Environmental Protection Agency grant funds and 37% Stormwater Utility Area 17 Assessments.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the project is to participate in a pilot project to divert storm water to a sanitary district treatment plant
to determine the feasibility of treating storm water at a wastewater treatment plant before it is discharged into a
receiving water body. The project will divert storm water from the existing North Richmond Pump Station to a West
County Wastewater District sewer main on Gertrude Avenue. The diversion will be conducted on a temporary basis.
Inside the existing pump station, two new pumps will be installed (currently estimated at 250 gallons/minute
capacity) into the wet well of the existing pump station, automated level sensors will be installed to operate the new
pumps, and a new circuit breaker and control panel will be installed. Installation of the new pumps will also help
rehabilitate the pump station which is in need of repair.
Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the Public Works Department by LCA Architects and
filed with the Clerk of the Board by the Public Works Director. The construction cost estimate is $345,000 and the
general prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates
paid on this project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the project is not approved, the County and Cities in the County will not meet the requirements of their stormwater
permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, the existing pump station will continue to
deteriorate and will ultimately be unable to protect the community from flooding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
