Item 6d
POLICY CONTEXT
On May 17, 2022, Council approved a Purchasing Policy Update to the Financial
Management Manual that required Council approval for Public Projects that cost over
$200,000.
The Mid-Higuera Bypass (“Project) was identified in the Council-adopted Waterway
Management Plan as a preferred project. The Waterway Management Plan was prepared
as part of the San Luis Obispo Creek Waterway Management Program which was created
in coordination with the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District Zone 9 Advisory Committee (Zone 9 Committee) and adopted by City Council in
2003 (Resolution No. 9494). This followed the requirement from the Army Corp of
Engineers to create a comprehensive plan for the SLO Creek Watershed in 1996 after
several significant flood events.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Project was identified in the Council adopted
Waterway Management Plan as a way to reduce
flooding from San Luis Obispo Creek along the Mid-
Higuera Corridor (see Figure 1, right). The Mid-
Higuera Corridor suffers from frequent flooding from
10-Year storm events (1 in 10 chance every year).
The Project will increase flood capacity by 40%
during a 25-year storm event and reduce the
floodwater surface elevation by 6-18 inches
depending upon the location within the project limits.
Key project components that will increase flood
capacity include:
Excavating over 23,000 cubic yards of soil for
flood benches and two bypass channels (see
Attachment E) to create additional pathways
for flood water.
Replacing the existing Bianchi Lane Bridge ,
which was originally constructed in 1905 and
is structurally failing, with a new concrete
bridge with nearly double the span and an
increased surface elevation which will allow
more water to flow under during large storm
events.
Removing over 70 trees and shrubs that
constrict flow within the creek channel, many
of which are non-native and invasive.
Replanting over 300 native trees and shrubs to provide a healthy riparian habitat
and tree canopy.

Item 6d
Project
Staff is recommending approving the project design and advertising the project in order
to secure a construction contract by fall of this year, planning for construction work to
begin in 2025. The project will need to begin construction following the next rainy season
with the majority of work being completed between June 1st and October 1st, 2025, in
order to comply with all creek regulatory permits and meet Proposition 1 grant funding
deadlines with the State. Staff executed a Proposition 1 grant funding agreement with the
State on March 14, 2023, which allocated $6,078,707 in State funding for this project. To
meet legislative deadlines under Proposition 1, all work for the project must be completed
by March 31, 2026, and no funds may be requested after September 30, 2026. Staff will
work concurrently to complete utility relocation and easement acquisition throughout the
fall in preparation for construction in 2025.
Utility Relocation
Staff are currently coordinating with utility companies to design and execute the relocation
of facilities that conflict with the Project. Staff anticipate relocation costs from PG&E,
SoCal Gas, and AT&T will not exceed $600,000. PG&E has submitted the cost of
relocation of their facilities not covered under the City Franchise Agreement at $218,565.
SoCal Gas and AT&T relocation costs are subject to final design but anticipated to be
less than that of PG&E. Staff are requesting delegated authority for the City Manager to
execute service fee agreements within available project budget (Recommendation 7).
PG&E Easement
Existing PG&E facilities need to be relocated to accommodate Project construction, as
referenced in the paragraph above. The revised alignment for PG&E facilities cross City
owned open space. To accommodate this relocation, PG&E requests a no cost easement
permitting the right to construct, replace, maintain, and inspect the defined easement area
within City Open Space (Attachment D). Further, in executing the easement the City
agrees not to place or construct any building or structure within the agreed upon
easement areas. Staff is requesting that Council authorize the Mayor to execute this
easement agreement with PG&E in a form subject to approval of the City Attorney
(Recommendation 8).
SoCal Gas
Existing SoCal Gas facilities need to be relocated to accommodate Project construction,
including a buried gas pipeline that currently runs under the Bianchi Lane Bridge which is
planned to be demolished and relocated as part of this project. The existing facilities are
located across City open space and an adjacent private property on the west side of the
creek. SoCal Gas maintains a private easement across both parcels for their existing
facilities and claims that the City is liable for all costs incurred for relocating the facilities;
however, City staff have countered that since the easement across the City property was
not recorded on the property, the relocation work across this parcel would be subject the
Franchise Agreement that SoCal Gas executed with the City in 1978, and therefore SoCal
Gas would be liable for the cost of the work.
Page 115 of 401
Item 6d
Staff proposes the cost of the facility relocation be shared between the City and SoCal
Gas in a manner proportional to the total length of pipe across each parcel. The portion
of existing gas line to be relocated that lies on City property is approximately 40% of the
total length, while 60% of the existing gas line to be relocated lies on private property over
which SoCal Gas maintains a private easement. As such, staff have proposed that the
cost of the facility relocation be shared at a rate of 60% City cost to 40% SoCal Gas cost,
though final share remains subject to negotiation with SoCal Gas and Staff is requesting
that delegated authority be provide to the City Manager to execute the final agreement if
within available project funding (Recommendation 7).

flood damage, with recognition of the ecological and aesthetic values of the programs.
With the purpose and need of the project established in the W aterway Management Plan,
the Zone 9 advisory body and community members in attendance have been supportive
of the project through its planning, environmental review, and design phases, and have
approved yearly funding recommendations to the County Board of Supervisors to support
ongoing design and property acquisition work necessary to get the project to the
construction phase.

To date, approximately $1,530,000 has been spent towards Project design and easement
acquisition from 2012 to present, with approximately $105,000 in remaining design
encumbrance.
The 2023-25 Financial Plan allocated an additional $2,850,000 in LRM Funds at the start
of the 24-25 Fiscal Year to supplement the construction budget and meet our state grant
required match fund limits. The FY 2024-25 Supplemental Budget allocated an additional
$45,000 from the Water Fund to account for increased Project costs associated with City-
owned utility relocation. At that time, staff were anticipating a significant increase in
project cost that exceeded the available budget, but did not have sufficient information
available to fully itemize all pertinent costs such as construction management and
easement acquisition costs. Since the Project estimate was still being developed, the
Supplemental Budget identified that additional funding beyond the allocated $45,000
would be requested from Council once costs could be finalized.
An additional $225,000 was allocated by the Zone 9 Committee to help supplement
escalated construction costs at the start of the 24-25 Fiscal Year. Staff is recommending
Council appropriate this funding to the project account to supplement construction costs
(Recommendation 5). Only specific items of work1 are eligible for Zone 9 reimbursement,
and the cost of these items is evaluated at the end of each calendar year with the Zone
9 Committee. $225,000 was determined to be the amount of construction cost escalation
for these items of work since the previous Zone 9 allocation. After bids are received, staff
will review the eligible reimbursement items to determine the total of those costs. If the
cost of those items exceeds the current Zone 9 funding allocation, staff will have another
opportunity to request a funding supplement in Fall 2025, which would be appropriated
with the County’s FY25/26 budget.
Staff is recommending appropriating $1,000,000 of Local Revenue Measure funds from
the Capital Reserve fund to support construction of the Project per the Dr aft Resolution
(Attachment A) (Recommendation 6a).
1 Eligible construction items for Zone 9 reimbursement include: removal of invasive plant species, pruning
of trees and roots, tree removal, trash and debris removal, sediment removal, planting & plant establishment
work.
Page 119 of 401
Item 6d
On June 20, 2024, the Roadway Sealing 2024, Specification No. 2000615 received bids
significantly lower than the engineer’s estimate. Upon award of the construction contract
in July of 2024, staff anticipate realized remaining project budget. The anticipated
Roadway Sealing 2024 cost following the award to the low bidder is $3,773,246 and the
account balance (2000615) is $6,741,783, leaving a remaining balance of $2,968,537 in
LRM funds. Staff is recommending transferring $1,000,000 from the Roadway Sealing
2024, project account 2000615 per the Draft Resolution (Recommendation 6b).
The increase in overall cost of the Project since the 2023-25 Financial Plan is primarily
due to construction cost escalation of Bianchi Lane bridge replacement and property
value increases related to utility relocation and property easement acquisition.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Deny the approval to advertise the Project. City Council could choose to deny
authorization to advertise this project. Staff does not recommend this alternative as
the Project is part of the Waterway Management Plan previously adopted by Council.
Furthermore, the City received grant funding that must be expended by 2026 and
therefore must advertise the project at this time in order to complete construction
before the grant deadline.
2. Deny the allocation of additional LRM funds. City Council could choose to deny
the appropriation of LRM funds from the Capital Reserve Fund Balance and Roadway
Sealing 2024 project account until contract award. Staff does not recommend this
alternative as a construction contract could not be awarded without additional City
funds and this would further increase the risk that the project will not meet the
construction timeline.
3. Deny delegated authority to enter into cost sharing agreement with SoCal Gas.
City Council could choose to deny the delegated authority for the City Manager to
enter into a cost sharing agreement with SoCal Gas and require staff to return to
Council once the final terms of the agreement have been negotiated. This is not
recommended because SoCal Gas must relocate their facilities well in advance of the
project entering construction, and there is likely insufficient time to do so due to project
schedule constraints of working within the creek.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company
EXHIBIT “A”
GRANT OF EASEMENT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
This Disclosure Statement will assist you in evaluating the request for granting an easement to Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) to accommodate a utility service extension to PG&E’s applicant. Please read this disclosure
carefully before signing the Grant of Easement.
You are under no obligation or threat of condemnation by PG&E to grant this easement.
The granting of this easement is an accommodation to PG&E’s applicant requesting the extension of
PG&E utility facilities to the applicant’s property or project. Because this easement is an accommodation for
a service extension to a single customer or group of customers, PG&E is not authorized to purchase any such
easement.
By granting this easement to PG&E, the easement area may be used to serve additional customers in the
area and may be used to install additional utility facilities. Installation of any proposed facilities outside of
this easement area will require an additional easement.
Removal and/or pruning of trees or other vegetation on your property may be necessary for the installation
of PG&E facilities. You have the option of having PG&E’s contractors perform this work on your property,
if available, or granting permission to PG&E’s applicant or the applicant’s contractor to perform this work.
Additionally, in order to comply with California fire laws and safety orders, PG&E or its contractors will
periodically perform vegetation maintenance activities on your property as provided for in this grant of
easement in order to maintain proper clearances from energized electric lines or other facilities.
The description of the easement location where PG&E utility facilities are to be installed across your
property must be satisfactory to you.
The California Public Utilities Commission has authorized PG&E’s applicant to perform the installation
of certain utility facilities for utility service. In addition to granting this easement to PG&E, your consent may
be requested by the applicant, or applicant’s contractor, to work on your property. Upon completion of the
applicant’s installation, the utility facilities will be inspected by PG&E. When the facility installation is
determined to be acceptable the facilities will be conveyed to PG&E by its applicant.
By signing the Grant of Easement, you are acknowledging that you have read this disclosure and understand that you
are voluntarily granting the easement to PG&E. Please return the signed and notarized Grant of Easement with this
Disclosure Statement attached to PG&E. The duplicate copy of the Grant of Easement and this Disclosure Statement
is for your records.
