CAO RECONZIENDATION:
By motion: 1) Authorize staff to advertise for bids; 2) Authorize the CAO to approve the
plans upon completion of the environmental process, and 3) Authorize the CAO to award
each contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the engineer's estimate, or to award
all contracts if the aggregate of the lowest responsible bids is within the aggregate of the
engineer's estimates for all four projects.
DISCUSSION:
Creek banks at several locations in San Luis Obispo have been eroding over the years. During
the storms of March of this year, erosion was accelerated to the point that immediate remedial
action is imperative to avoid losses to private property.from next winter's storms.
In order to accomplish the work prior to the upcoming rainy season, the Council is being asked
to authorize advertising the project and delegation of project approval to the CAO after
completion of environmental documents. While staff is confident all environmental approvals
will be received, staff feels awaiting Council action until those approvals are received would add
between three and four weeks processing time. The procedure described for these projects is
only proposed due to the quickly approaching storm season.
Applications and notifications have been sent to all permitting agencies. A biologist has provided
the necessary information for an environmental determination. The environmental documents
are being circulated, and approval of plans and award of contracts cannot be considered until
that process is completed. If the environmental work identifies something unexpected and cannot
be easily incorporated, the projects may have to be deferred and not approved and awarded.
Mitigation measures identified by the biologist will closely follow in a separate contract after the
banks have been stabilized.
FISCAL EIIPACT:
9556-520-553 Estimate $120,000
10% contingencies 12,000
9555-520-553 Estimate 120,000
10% contingencies 12,000
9554-520-553 Estimate 125,000
10% contingencies 12,500
9553-520-553 Estimate 85,000
10% contingencies 8.500
TOTAL: $4959000
Estimated cost for
mitigation measures: $ 5,000
It is anticipated that full reimbursement of project costs will come from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). Representatives from Public Works and Finance are working
closely with local FEMA representatives to ensure full compliance with FEMA regulations.
There is a possibility that projects or portions of projects at certain locations may be ineligible
for reimbursement. In these cases the City will have to cover the ineligible costs. Staff has
applied to Zone 9 for revenue to pay for possible ineligible costs. General Fund money will be
used as a last resort.
