DISCUSSION
The Public Works Water Systems Maintenance Division performs a variety of maintenance and
repairs to City's water distribution system which consists of approximately 4,500 miles of water
mains, 57,000 water services, 4,815 fire hydrants, 7 pumping stations, 20 production wells and
facilities and other water related assets. Current water main repair work is done through traditional
excavation methods which include digging a trench. A hydro- excavation unit will expedite repair
work to system disruptions, such as water main breaks or leaks, by performing "no dig" excavation
operations. Additionally, "no dig" excavation technology minimizes potential damage to other
underground utilities, reduces occupational hazards associated with traditional excavations and
reduces the excavation footprint.
Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any
public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The National Joint Powers Alliance contract
022014 -AMI with Atlantic Machinery Inc. for Vac -Con hydro- excavation units was awarded as a
result of open, competitive bidding, and meets the City's requirements. The award amount
includes a $10,000 contingency for unanticipated services, accessories and supplies.
