BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) owns and operates a regional sewer in the area of Tustin Avenue and Orangethorpe Avenue in the cities of Anaheim and Placentia. The vitrified clay sewer was originally installed in 1960. The Sanitation District has identified significant cracks in the pipe as well as a manhole defect resulting from an Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) sewer relocation project.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
* Comply with California Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award construction contract to lowest responsive, responsible bidder
* Achieve less than 2.1 sewer spills per 100 miles
PROBLEM
The Sanitation District sewer in Tustin Avenue south of Orangethorpe Avenue has pipe and manhole defects that need repair.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award a Construction Contract for the Tustin Avenue Manhole and Pipe Repair, Project No. FE17-06, to repair the cracked pipe and replace the improperly abandoned manhole.
TIMING CONCERNS

RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The possibility of spills in the 24-inch sewer system along Tustin Avenue would remain.
