This project was included in this year's Capital Improvement Program, and consists of installing
a 520 linear foot new 24 -inch reinforced concrete pipe below grade to convey storm flows to a
lower basin for energy dissipation and water quality improvement. The eroded areas will be
filled and the hillside slope revegetated to provide protection from future erosion. The upstream
improvements will occur between two residential properties (2600 and 2612 Mesa Drive) and
the lower improvements on County of Orange and State of California property.
Regulatory agencies have issued permits for the project, including approval of the Coastal
Development Permit by the California Coastal Commission on July 13, 2017. However, the
property easements and construction access easement from the County of Orange have not
been approved and finalized as expected during the bid period. In addition, staff is considering
material and construction method changes which may provide additional cost savings. Staff
recommends that the City Council reject all bids and direct staff to re -advertise the project at a
later time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15333 (Small Habitat Restoration Projects) of the
CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the
meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
