SUMMARY: Staff proposes to retain CLA-VAL Western
Regional Service to service CLA-VAL pressure reducing and pressure sustaining
valves at the Santa Margarita Facility. Funds expended to complete this work
will be reimbursed to the District through the Aquifer Storage & Recovery
Project Management and Operations agreement between the District and California
American Water (CAW). The requested
amount is larger than the quote to include a 10% contingency for replacement
parts that are not covered in the quoted rebuild kits and an estimate for tax. The last service of these valves was June
2017.
RECOMMENDATION: The Finance and Administration
Committee should recommend the Board authorize the General Manager to enter
into an agreement with CLA-VAL Western Regional Service to complete the five-year
maintenance of the CLA-VALs located at the Santa Margarita ASR facility.
BACKGROUND: During the ASR injection season, portions of the
CAW Monterey Main System are being used for water storage and transmittance of
water diverted from the Carmel River and delivered to the ASR injection
facilities. Because the system is also
supplying water to CAW customers, it is subject to daily and seasonal
variations in customer demand. Changes
in demand result in pressure variations to the water delivered at the ASR
facilities. Pressure reducing and
pressure sustaining valves help to maintain constant injection rates and
protect the ASR wells from spikes in system pressure. This equipment requires servicing from
approved contractors every five years in order to maintain guarantee of
functionality.
