end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The irrigation booster pump at the Huntington Central Park Sports Complex has exceeded its useful lifespan and has become inoperable. Recent attempts to fix it have failed and it must be replaced. The grass in the ballfields cannot be watered as required without a functioning booster pump.
The scope of services needed to complete the project include removal of the failed pump, the installation of the new pump, connecting/reconnecting the inlet and discharge to the existing plumbing and station startup/certification. The cost will be approximately $98,000, including contingency.
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Goal 6 - Infrastructure Investment, Strategy C - Conduct an assessment of all City facilities to determine priorities for upgrades and repairs, implementation and financial priority.
