DISCUSSION
Santa Ana's west reservoir and pumping station was constructed in 1963
(Exhibit 1) The facility includes a six million gallon steel water
reservoir with five electric motor driven booster pumps used to supply
potable water to the City's distribution system. All equipment and
piping is currently located outdoors within a secured site. The pumping
equipment is worn and deteriorated from years of operation and exposure
to the elements; the electrical panels and wiring are obsolete and
operate inefficiently; and the site paving is badly deteriorated. The
project provides for replacement of the pumping and electrical
equipment, construction of a pump station building and reconstruction of
the site pavement.
The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on October 29 and 31, 2008, and
bids were opened on December 8, 2008. A summary of the bid invitations
mailed, the bids received, and the bid results follows.
