anticipated economic development and growth.
Policy 6.1: Provide public improvements to support commercial, industrial and institutional

7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
To effectively minimize service interruption to the residents living in the northeast area of the
City during an emergency, the Water Division is proposing the installation of a standby
emergency generator at Reservoir 9A Pump Station. This station is currently utilized to lift water
from Zone 4 to Zone 5 to serve the community in hills in the northeast portion of the City. The
area currently has no backup power source.
The Water Division retained Gevork Consulting Engineering, Inc. to complete the design and
specifications of the emergency generator. Plans and specifications for this project call for the
furnishing and installation of one 150KW /I88KVA, 277/480V emergency power generator at the
station. The proposed sound attenuated generator will comply with the City's noise standard and
be equipped with a double wall fuel tank situated on a concrete pad to prevent potential leakage
during an emergency or operational maintenance. The generator fuel tank capacity is designed for
24 hours of continuous operation.
The total estimated construction cost including 15% for contingencies and construction
engineering is $150,000.
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA
Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1- Existing Facilities. This exemption applies to minor
alterations to existing public or private structures or facilities, involving negligible or no
expansion of the existing use. The project falls within this exemption because it involves adding
a new emergency generator at an existing City water pump station. The purpose of the generator
is to ensure electricity is available to power existing water infrastructure at the site during an
emergency event. Therefore, the project does not expand the existing use.
