COUNCIL
FROM: LAURI AYLAIAN, PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR

SUBJECT: FRED WARING DRIVE WIDENING
REIMBURSEMENT OF CVWD FOR WELL SITE COSTS
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council, by minute motion, authorize the reimbursement
of up to $111,622.64 to the Coachella Valley Water District for relocation of their
equipment at Well Site 5661 at the northeast corner of Fred Waring Drive and Portola
Avenue. Funds are available in the current Capital Improvements Program budget for
this work.
Background:
The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) owns a well site at the northeast corner of
Fred Waring Drive and Portola Avenue. The well itself is not located within the
proposed new right-of-way for Fred Waring Drive, but much of the mechanical
equipment and piping is. In order to accommodate the street widening that is planned,
the following work will have to be completed by CVWD:
1. Relocate the existing chlorine building.
2. Relocate and re-pipe the existing inlet structure.
3. Remove the manifold motor, relocate the manifold, replace and rewire the motor.
4. Remove and reconstruct the block wall on the south, east, and part of west sides
of the property.
5. Relocate and re-pipe the existing pressure tank, and construct a new pad for it.
The City purchased the parcel adjacent to CVWD's well site on 14 February 2001, and
will be abating asbestos and demolishing the home on that site within the coming
weeks. A re-configured well site parcel will be deeded to CVWD in exchange for the
portion of their existing parcel that is needed for the new right of way.

CVWD has provided a cost estimate for the necessary relocation work, and is prepared
to begin with the design and construction of Items 1-5 listed above. Authorization of an
amount not to exceed $111,622.64 for the work described will allow it to be completed
before the utility undergrounding work begins in May 2001.
