A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE SOLE SOURCE USE OF PREDL MANHOLE
LINERS FOR THE EASTSIDE TRUNK SEWER PHASE 3 — PROJECT NO. 2014-01
WHEREAS, the City of Rohnert Park is finalizing the design of Phase 3 of its Eastside
Trunk Sewer, the final phase of a cross -town sewer contemplated by its General Plan to provide
capacity for new development; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the Eastside Trunk Sewer is complicated because it is a
deep sewer at a very flat grade, which requires special care in the installation to ensure quality of
construction and performance; and
WHEREAS, during the construction of Phase 2, the design engineer approved and the
construction contractor installed pre- manufactured PREDL manhole liners which increased the
accuracy with which the manhole base structures were constructed; minimized workmanship in
the field; reduced the size of the manhole structures and attendant construction traffic impacts;
and increased the speed and accuracy of construction; and
WHEREAS, the use of the pre- manufactured liners contributed to the success of the
Phase 2 construction project which finished ahead of schedule with change orders at 0.1% of
construction costs; and
WHEREAS, the use of the pre- manufactured liners increases corrosion resistance and
minimizes infiltration and inflow into the sewer, providing the City with long -term operational
benefits in addition to the construction benefits; and
WHEREAS, Phase 3 of the Eastside Trunk Sewer has the same complications as Phase 2
including deep installation at flat grades and the need to complete construction expeditiously to
both minimize traffic disruption and provide capacity for planned new development; and
WHEREAS, the Public Contracting Code, Section 3400(c) allows the sole- source use of
a product either when the product will match existing facilities or when the necessary item is
only available from one source; and
WHEREAS, use of the pre- manufactured PREDL manhole liners for Phase 3 will match
the product used in the existing portions of the trunk sewer and are available from only one
source; and
WHEREAS, the PREDL product is a unique product that is particularly well suited for
use in the installation of deep sewers at flat grades; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rohnert Park Municipal Code Title 3 Chapter 3.04 provides that
the City's purchasing functions shall be governed by the City's purchasing policy, and;
WHEREAS, consistent with City of Rohnert Park Purchasing Policy Section 7.2, the
City Council hereby finds that the product meets the requirements for Sole Source product
because it performs a "complex and unique function" by facilitating the speed and accuracy of
deep sewer construction, maintaining the same quality of workmanship in the liner as was
achieved in Phase 2, and providing long -term operational benefits; and
WHEREAS, the sole source product will be included in the specifications for a larger
competitively bid project, providing the City with the opportunity to secure the best value for the
overall construction project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park that the above recitals are true and correct and material to this Resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby authorize and
approve the sole source specification of pre- manufactured PREDL manhole liners for the
Eastside Trunk Sewer Phase 3 - Project No. 2014 -01.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed
to take all actions to effectuate this authorization on behalf of the City of Rohnert Park.
DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED this l Oth day of February, 2015.
