A-1,-REPORT-ON BIDS - DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Dave Romero,. Public Works Director, reported on bids received for. "DRAINAGE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - FLORA STREET SWALE ", City Plan No. H -22 -H; bid
estimate $24,000, without contingencies•(see file no.83- 26)... He.said.this
was priority number 3 on the Minor Waterway Modification.list.recently.
adopted by Council, and that the Administrative Officer had approved•the
plans and specifications and authorized staff to go for bids. The only
reason staff was requesting Council approval at this time; was because the
bid estimate had been estimated'at $24,000 and the low bid came in $273
over the $25,000 limit that requires Council approval. He felt that based
upon the short bid period allowed, the complexities and unknowns involved
in hillside constriction work of this type, and the fact the contractors in
the area are still overextended with.work, this was a low and reasonable
bid and should be awarded. He would, therefore, recommend Council adoption
of the resolution awarding the low bid to R. Burke Corp. in the amount of
$25,273'.
Mayor Billig was-concerned that it: appeared that the drainage problems in
this area were expanding and questioned if this project would mitigate the
problem.
Dave Romero, Public Works Director, stated that although there -were no
guarantees,. he did feel.that this would be sufficient.
Councilman.Duni.n stated.that.he would like-to see developed a system that
when a development occurs above an existing project in the city, that the
people below would in some way be protected. He would like to see what the
owners above;.or.the development that occurs above the landowners, might
contribute towards its mitigation. To that extent, he would like.to put
the County on notice that the property on the periphery of the city, if
there was-any flooding; would be held responsible.
Councilman Settle agreed; that if any impact was such that-the offsite had
helped to contribute to it, that there should be some way to require the '
above development to contribute towards its mitigation.
Upon question; Roger Picquet, City Attorney, stated that he would look into
the legality of the responsibility of the other property owner. He also
cautioned Councilwoman Dovey that, because this project.does'take.place
behind her property, there would be a possible conflict of interest.
Councilwoman Dovey stated that although she did not believe there was an
interest connected directly as far as her property was concerned, she would
abstain from voting and at 12:20 p.m. left the meeting.
