The bid line item for soundwalls was a placeholder in the amount of $150,000 because the design was not finalized at bid time.  As the design progressed, it became apparent that there is insufficient space for a soundwall, protective bollards, vehicle passage, and the temporary chlorination facility housing.  A soundwall may be revisited as part of a future project.  No standby time was used for the project, resulting in a $10,000 savings.

 

Cal-Am was required to install a flow meter (Meter Works) on the lateral pipeline connecting the Santa Margarita site to the transmission pipeline CalAm shares with Marina Coast Water District.  MPWMD and Cal-Am agreed to install the meter as part of the Santa Margarita construction project in an effort to reduce cost and minimize public nuisance due to traffic impacts.  A separate bid line item was created for the reimbursable Meter Works.  MPWMD is submitting a reimbursement request to Cal-Am now that the construction contract final payment request has been received.
