CONTRACT NO. B-2013-1: BURRIS PUMP STATION PROJECT PHASE I<br />
CONSTRUCTION – NOTICE INVITING BIDS<br />
SUMMARY<br />
Staff is proposing to construct the new Burris Pump Station in two phases in order to keep<br />
the existing pump station in operation during the FY2013 –14 storm season. The design of<br />
the Burris Pump Station Phase I <strong>Project</strong> is now complete <strong>and</strong> the bid documents are being<br />
prepared.<br />

Agendize for April 17 Board meeting: Authorize publication of Notice Inviting Bids for<br />
Contract No. B-2013-1: Burris Pump Station <strong>Project</strong> Phase I Construction<br />
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS<br />
The Burris Pump Station was constructed in 1989 as part of what was referred to as the<br />
“Santiago Creek Replenishment <strong>Project</strong>”. The project included the purchase of the Santiago<br />
Basins, the construction of a 66” discharge pipeline, <strong>and</strong> the construction of the Burris Pump<br />
Station. These facilities allow the District to pump captured storm water from the Santa Ana<br />
River through the 66” pipeline for recharge at the Santiago Basins. The pump station <strong>and</strong><br />
pipeline were designed to deliver up to 200 cubic feet per second (cfs) to the Santiago<br />
Basins.<br />
Operation of the Burris Pump Station to capture storm flows typically occurs in the winter<br />
following significant rain events. This allows operations to capture <strong>and</strong> recharge water that<br />
would otherwise be lost to the ocean. Additional pumping usually continues until May or<br />
June of each year as base flow declines in the Santa Ana River. Since the winter of 2005-<br />
06, an average of 34,000 acre-feet per year of water has been pumped from Burris Pump<br />
Station to the Santiago Basins <strong>and</strong> Santiago Creek for recharge.<br />
The large pumping units at Burris Pump Station are nearly 23 years old <strong>and</strong> are showing<br />
significant signs of wear. Staff is concerned that failure of one or more of the pumping units<br />
could occur <strong>and</strong> severely impact the District’s ability to pump water from Burris Basin to<br />
Santiago Basin for recharge. An engineering evaluation of the existing pump station
