Discussion:
HISTORY OF ITEM/BACKGROUND
County's Pavement Preservation Program (Program) is an ongoing effort to improve the quality of Sonoma County roads by administering large-scale pavement treatment projects. County uses a long-term, network-level management approach designed to utilize limited funding as efficiently as possible for the Program. Since 2012, County and Sonoma Water have routinely collaborated on various utility relocation and infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects.
To minimize impact to the public, manholes and vaults lids that have been identified as in need of replacement or adjustment, will be included in the County’s bid packages for the various pavement treatment projects. Sonoma Water understands that County will award the contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders. County will take the lead in this process and is requesting funding from Sonoma Water for its respective portions of the costs.
SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED
Under the proposed agreement, County will replace or adjust Sonoma Water facilities in the unincorporated areas of Guerneville, Sonoma Valley, and Larkfield-Wikiup as part of County’s Program projects in these areas. Sonoma Water will reimburse County for costs of the replacement or adjustment.
The cost of services under the agreement will not exceed $173,013; the term end date is June 30, 2023.
