Lindley, Director of Community Services tvc DATE: May 27, 2001 (CC Meeting of June 6, 2001) SUBJECT: Budget Amendment for the Design of Backup Power System for Arroyo Vista Recreation Center SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to adopt the attached resolution, which would amend the FY 2000/01 budget by allocating $8,000 to design a backup power system (generator) for Arroyo Vista Recreation Center (AVRC). DISCUSSION In light of the current energy crisis facing California and the significant likelihood that the City will experience power blackouts throughout the summer, staff is proposing that the City secure backup power for AVRC. When a power blackout occurs, all business at AVRC comes to a standstill. Staff is not able to answer the phones, process recreation registrations or facility rentals, operate their computers and other office machines, and what little work they can perform must be done without lights. Additionally, should the power blackouts occur during scheduled classes and building rentals, these activities will be disrupted and the City may be faced with refunding fees. As a result, the anticipated power blackouts will create significant inconveniences for the public and non productive staff time. An additional consideration for AVRC is the need to ensure that the sewer pump and grinder remain fully operational when necessary. The sewer pump and grinder handle all of the park's \ \MOR PRI SERV\ home_ folders \MLindley\Facilities\AVRC Backup Power ccagd.doc sewage, including the Recreation Center. When the sewage level in the system reaches a certain level, the grinder and pump are activated and the waste is pumped into the main sewage line located in Tierra Rejada Road. If the sewage level rises too high, and /or waste material is not sufficiently grinded, the potential for burning out the pump's motor is great. The first step in the effort to provide AVRC with backup power is to secure the services of an electrical engineer. Staff proposes to secure the services of Lundeen and Associates, the firm that designed the existing City Hall backup system, for a cost not to exceed $8,000. The design effort will be funded from the FY 2000/01 Budget. The scope of work will include a connection from the backup power system for AVRC to the sewage pump, if determined feasible. If not, the electrical engineer will be asked to identify and design a separate backup power system for the pump. The cost to purchase and install a backup power generator to serve AVRC is estimated to be approximately $55,000 based on the City's cost for the generator at City Hall. Staff will have a better idea once the electrical engineer has completed his analysis. The cost to perform this work has been included in the draft FY 2001/02 Budget currently under consideration by the City Council. Staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Manager to amend the existing Agreement with Lundeen and Associates to provide for a backup power system for the Annex. Additionally, the Council is asked to appropriate $8,000 from the unallocated General Fund Reserve to pay for the design work. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote) Adopt Resolution No. 2001 -_, amending the FY 2000/01 Budget by appropriating $8,000 from the General Fund Reserve for the design of a backup power system for the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center and sewer pump, and authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the City's Agreement with Lundeen and Associates to perform the design work.
