Romero Wayne A. Peterson Prepared by: Gerald W. Kenny Public Works Director City Engineer Supervising Civil Engineer SUBJECT: Acceptance of Tank Farm Road/SPRR Underpass - EDNA-ISLAY area (Pacifica Corp. , subdivider) CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution accepting Tank Farm Road/SPRR Underpass DISCUSSION: The subdivider/developer of the Islay area of the Edna-Islay Specific Plan has completed the new railroad bridge over Tank Farm Road, and has asked the City to accept it for maintenance and operation. The work has been approved by the Southern Pacific Transportation Co. and has been used for railroad purposes for several months. The bridge structure is to be maintained by the City with Southern Pacific responsible for the ballast, tracks, signals, etc. in accordance with an existing agreement between the City and Southern Pacific Transportation Co. Landscaping of the slopes are requirements of the respective adjacent tracts. The street improvements are separate from the bridge structure and since Tank Farm Road is not yet constructed easterly of the railroad, public traffic will not be utilizing this underpass until later this year. Faithful Performance and Labor & Materials bonds in the amounts of 1 .1 million and 550,000 dollars, respectively, were posted by the subdivider. Acceptance of the work will allow release of 90% of the Performance Bond and 100`6 of the Labor & Materials Bond per the Developer's Agreement. ALTERNATIVES: Option 1 . Adopt resolution accepting the Tank Farm Road/SPRR Railroad Undercrossing and releasing 90% of the Faithful Performance Bond and the Labor & Materials Bond in accordance with the Developer's Agreement. The primary advantage would be to eliminate the bonding requirement for the completed work. Option 2. Postpone acceptance until completion and acceptance of Tank Farm Road improvements, but reduce the Performance Bond to 10% to guarantee the work for one ( 1 ) year after future acceptance. An advantage would be to postpone the maintenance responsibility, although the City is responsible to the SPRR per an agreement and the trains are already using the bridge. Another advantage would be the subdivider would be required to maintain the structure for a longer period of time even though the structure is complete. ►��u►►uIIIIIIIIIIP°�°�►��III city of san Luis osispo IN = COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Staff Report Page Two CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING THE RECOMMENDED ACTION: Requires the subdivider to maintain the structure and bonds for a longer period even though the structure is complete.
