The project budget has <br />sufficient allocations to fund the increased cost. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The construction phase of the WPCP Rehabilitation Project generated excess soil that must <br />either be reused on-site or hauled to a disposal location. The soil can be reused on site as <br />cost savings measure by filling in a portion of an existing storage pond to create a level area <br />for equipment staging and storage. The existing storage pond has excess capacity and the <br />proposed work will not negatively impact plant operations. This work requires a permit from <br />the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). <br />The City has contracted with Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo) for a feasibility study, <br />geotechnical evaluation, permit documents, and detailed design of the soil relocation work. <br />If the Water Board denies the City's permit application, the soil will be hauled to a disposal <br />location. <br />Analysis <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 7/14/2015 <br />
