McCluskey, Public Works Director PREPARED BY: Morris D. Witbeck, Engineering Assistant SUBJECT: Bids for Four Creek Bank Stabilization Projects at Various Locations: 1. San Luis Creek at 236 Higuera St. , Specification 9556-520-553 2. San Luis Creek at 3046 S. Higuera, Specification 9555-520-553 3. San Luis Creek at 35 Prado Road, Specification 9554-520-553 4. San Luis Creek at 3546 S. Higuera, Specification 9553-520-553 CAO RECOMMENDATION: A. Reject all bids. B. Adopt the mitigated negative declaration and monitoring program for the four creek repair projects. DISCUSSION: On September 5, 1995 the City Council: 1) Authorized staff to advertise for bids; 2) Authorized the CAO to approve the plans upon completion of the environmental process; and 3) Authorized the CAO to award each contract if the lowest responsible bid was within the engineer's estimate, or to award all contracts if the aggregate of the lowest responsible bids was within the aggregate of the engineer's estimates for all four projects. On September 26, 1995 bids were opened, the results of which are shown on the attached bid summary sheet. Unfortunately, the required permits and approvals from regulating agencies were not received before the beginning of the rainy season, defined by those agencies as October 15 or October 31, depending on the agency. Since work in the creek is not allowed after those dates, the projects could not proceed as planned. The Corps staff expressed concern regarding the number of creek bank repair projects when they were here in the spring looking at the flood damage. Before issuing any more permits for bank projects that "harden" the bank, they want a professional hydrologist to review the cumulative impacts of past, the current and potential future projects. The need to provide this report prior to permitting these four projects was not made clear to staff until late September. It is staff's intention to continue forward with these projects and readvertise next spring upon obtaining the delayed permits and approvals. Should design changes be mandated by those agencies, staff will revise the plans and resubmit to Council next spring. After awarding a contract in the spring, Public Works will issue a purchase order for the creek landscaping (estimated at $5,000-$10, 000) required for environmental mitigation. mdW1#eblds Vlcn �, OQOO ..

McCluskey, Public Works Director Np^� PREPARED BY: Morris D. Witbeck, Engine ung Assistant SUBJECT: Four Bank Stabilization Projects at Various Locations: 1. San Luis Creek at 236 Higuera St. - Spec. No. 9556-524-553 2. San Luis Creek at 3046 S. Higuera St. - Spec. No. 9555-520-553 3. San Luis Creek at 35 Prado Road - Spec. No. 9554-520-553 4. San Luis Creek at 3546 S. Higuera St. - Spec. No. 9553-520-553 CAO RECOMaIENDATION: 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 EMPACT: 9556-520-553 Estimate $120,000 10% contingencies 12,000 9555-520-553 Estimate. 1202000 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: $495,000 Estimated cost for mitigation measures: $ 51000 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. mdw 1141oc.v by
