Appropriate $8,000 from the unappropriated balance of the General Fund and $32,000 in grant revenue and move it the Santa Rosa Street Bridge construction account for environmental monitoring. DISCUSSION: In December of 1996,the Council approved an agreement with Quincy Engineering for the design of the Santa Rosa Street bridge. That work included right of way acquisition. At that time, the Council authorized funding for the acquisition of temporary construction easements. The right of way agent has made these acquisitions in conformance with Federal laws for such work. One acquisition is still outstanding;however,the property owner indicates they do not have any problems with the agreement and expect to get it to us shortly. The proposed bridge project does not include acquiring any additional property,but rather the purchase of temporary construction easements to facilitate construction, allow for stream diversions through the construction site and complete mitigation planting as required by the Army Corps of Engineers. In addition to planting to offset the impacts of construction,there will be the need for the City to hire consultants to monitor construction activities and practices. The monitors will insure that steps are taken to comply with the permits received from regulating agencies and to watch for archeological material during excavation. Construction of the bridge is planned for this summer. We anticipate that plans and specifications will be before the Council for approval the second meeting in May. C9-1 Council Agenda Report - Santa Rosa Bridge Acquisition of Easements and Environmental Monitoring Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT: This project is funded in part through the Federal Highway Administration Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Reconstruction program. The project will receive 80%reimbursement for the right of way expenses and environmental monitoring. Funds Budgeted for Acquisition: Acquisition Costs: Federal Grant Funds $16,000 City Funds $4,000 $2,100* for John Smet-Lessee $1,000 for Donald Smilovitz-Trustee $1,000 for Dan O'Neil-Lessee $ 500 for John Roffini-Trustee $ 500 for Thomas Parks-Owner $1,300 for Peter M. Kardel $ 1,000 for Renal Care Center-Lessee Total: $209000 $79400 * The final document for a portion of this property has not been signed. The portion has been valued at $500. The need for the additional acquisition at this property was not known until the final Army Corps of Engineers permit was issued requiring mitigation planting on the area adjacent to the project site. Environmental Monitoring: No funds have been budgeted for Environmental Monitoring as this is a relatively new requirement of the regulatory agencies. Staff estimates the cost will be between $30,000 and $40,000 depending on the duration of creek work. The City portion would be$6,000 to$8,000.
