SUBJECT: Consent Item No. 7 — Laguna l.zi Dredging and Sediment Management,
Specification No. 91392, Contract Award and Budget Amendment
A Council member has asked two questions regarding Consent Item No. 7 on the agenda for
tonight's regularly scheduled City Council meeting. The questions are below, with staff's
response shown in italics:
1) The recommendation is to award a consultant agreement for $445,000, but the original budget
and amended budget comes to $450,000 - why the discrepancy of $5,000?
The $5,000 in question was used to conduct updated lake survey work to include a new, geo-
rectified aerial photograph of the lake under completely dry conditions this past summer.
2) The original budget called for $250,000 for "construction." What particular activities were envisioned
with that $250,000 that is now proposed for the MNS contract?
The approved Laguna Lake Dredging and Sediment Management CIP indicates that the
intention of the $250,000 identified for construction was to begin setting aside funds: "The first
phase also begins to set aside funding for implementation once all of the conditions precedent
to beginning a physical dredging project are in place... "(Capital Improvement Plan, pg. 344).
A request was also made to provide an update to Council on the Laguna Lake Accessible Path:
This is a separate project (see Capital Improvement Plan, pg. 321) that is not on the January 19
City Council agenda; however, a brief update is as follows: The staff team reviewed 50%
drawings last month. Minor adjustments were suggested to ensure that this facility can be
constructed within the project budget of $250, 000. This project is being designed in -house by
Public Works Engineering and it is on schedule for construction to begin this summer. Mr. Dan
Van Beveren is the project manager (805) 783 -7715.
As always, please feel free to be in touch with me at (805) 781 -7211 or by email at
rhill a,slocity.org with any questions or concerns.
