The Delmann Heights Water System Upgrade Project entails upgrading the system to continue providing dependable, safe, and potable drinking water for the low and moderate income persons in the Delmann Heights Water District. The Delmann Heights Water System was originally acquired by the City of San Bernardino Water Department in November 1989 from the Southern California Water Company. Acquisition of the Delmann Heights System by the Water Department came about because of Southern California Water Company's inability to provide potable water and adequate water service to the area. Since obtaining the Delmann Heights Water System, the Water Department has initiated several activities to improve the system. The current project funded with CDBG funds will upgrade the water service for the upper one third lots (approximately 184 lots) of the area to meet current health and fire code requirements. To date, Water Department construction crews have installed approximately 60% of the scheduled replacement water mains and service for the project. When crews exposed the existing main on Darby Street (which was not included for replacement), it was determined that the main was in worse condition than originally anticipated. The Delmann Heights Water System Upgrade required connecting the new pipelines installed in Glenview Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Flores Street, and Gardena Street to the existing Darby Street water main. The decision was made to replace the water main in Darby Street from California Street to Cajon Boulevard (approximately 1,400 feet). This water main will provide better water circulation to the aforementioned streets. It will also eliminate the need to replace the Darby Street water main in the near future which would necessitate removal and replacement of new asphalt and removal of numerous water main fittings (gate valves and tees) at the interconnects to the aforementioned streets. It was also determined that an additional 300 feet of water main would be required in California Street south of Darby Street to eliminate a dead-end water main between Gardena Street and Darby Street. The approximate cost of the two pipeline additions is $85,000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KJH:L1ML:nm1:de1mann.agd COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 10/04/1993 Agenda Item Number: DEVELOPMENT DEPARTN 1T STAFF REPORT DELMANN HEIGHTS WATER SYSTEM UPGRADE September 28, 1993 Page 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this time, Water Department staff is requesting additional funds in the amount of $85,000 to cover the cost of the two pipeline additions. Development Department staff concurs with this request,; however, staff would like to see any savings realized from the Delmann Heights Water System Upgrade to be applied prior to the use of any new funds requested herein. If CDBG savings are realized, Development Department staff will amend the Memorandum of Understanding with the Water Department to include expenditures related to the two pipeline additions. Based upon the foregoing, staff recommends adoption of the form motion. NWIAk KENNE H J.

Henderson Executive Director Development Department 201 North "E" Street, 3rd Floor San Bernardino, CA 92401-1507 Dear Mr. Henderson: RE: DELMANN HEIGHTS - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (EDA) FUNDED WATER SYSTEM UPGRADE PROJECT To date, Water Department's construction crews have installed approximately 60% of the scheduled replacement water mains and services in the EDA-funded Delmann Heights water system upgrade project. When we exposed the existing water main on Darby Street, which was not included for replacement, it was determined that the main was in worse condition than originally anticipated. The Delmann upgrade project required connecting the new pipelines installed in Glenview Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Flores Street, and Gardena Street to the existing Darby Street water main. The decision was made to replace the water main in Darby Street from California Street to Cajon Boulevard (approximately 1400 feet) to provide better water circulation to the aforementioned streets, and to eliminate the need to replace the Darby Street water main in the near future which would necessitate removal and replacement of new asphalt and removal of numerous water main fittings (gate valves and tees) at the interconnects to the aforementioned streets. It was also determined that an additional 300 feet of water main would be required in California Street south of Darby Street to eliminate a dead-end water main between Gardena Street and Darby Street. The approximate cost of the two pipeline additions is $85, 000. Mr. Kenneth J. Henderson September 16, 1993 Page 2 According to our records, we appear to be on budget on the EDA approved portion of the Delmann water system upgrade. However, if the project completes under budget, we ask your consideration in amending the existing EDA contract to include the additional replacement costs of the Darby Street and California Street pipeline replacement. i If the project completes on budget and no funds remain, we request II your consideration in fundin g the additional $85, 000 required to complete the aforementioned pipeline additions in a future EDA funding cycle. Your continued support this water system upgrade project is greatly appreciated.
