Webb, Public Works Director 949 -644 -3311, dawebb(o)newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Fong Tse, Principal Civil Engineer 949 - 644 -3321, ftse(a)newportbeachca.gov APPROVED: TITLE: 19th Street Tide Gate Retrofit — Notice of Completion and Acceptance of Contract No.4773 ABSTRACT: On May 22, 2012, the City Council awarded Contract No. 4773, 19th Street Tide Gate Retrofit, to Palp Inc.

Authorize the City Clerk to release the Labor and Materials Bond 65 days after the Notice of Completion has been recorded in accordance with the applicable portions of the Civil Code. 3. Release the Faithful Performance Bond one year after Council acceptance. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Funds for the construction contract were expended from the following accounts: 1 of 19th Street Tide Gate Retrofit -- Notice of Completion and Acceptance of Contract No.4773 May 28, 2013 Page 2 Account Description General Fund Tide and Submerged Lands Total Construction Cost: DISCUSSION: Account Number 7012- C2502006 7284- C2502010 Amount $ 95,089.60 $ 93,185.44 $ 188,275.04 There is currently a Tidal Gate value on the City Storm Drain at the end of 19th Street (on the Bay side). This manually operated metal tide gate value is consistently submerged in seawater and due to that fact, it requires a higher level of maintenance and repair. Due to the significant depth of this gate value, large drainage area, as well as very low surface elevation, Municipal Operations field crews were required to often stage portable pumps at this street -end during high tides and heavy rain events to pump out the runoffs to prevent the adjacent low lying areas within 190' Street, Bay Avenue, and Balboa Avenue from flooding. This project replaced the high maintenance traditional metal tide gate with a passive rubber tide valve, similar to the unit that has been operating successfully at Pearl Ave /South Bay Front and at Seashore Drive /Santa Ana River. The new rubber valve with the automated remote - controlled submersible runoff water pump installed in the tide vault eliminates the need for City crews to manually operate the valve and also position and operate portable pumps to clear standing water that accumulates during rain and high tide events. Other improvements completed under this Contract included street -end landscape and planter renovations, below grade electrical system upgrades and connections for the new runoff water pump, relocation of existing streetlights, and new concrete sidewalks and ramps for improved pedestrian access to the 19th Street street -end public dock. The contract has now been completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department.

Approximately two- thirds of the extra cost was due to the relocation of a trash enclosure and railing requested by the nearby homeowners. The remaining extra cost was the result of additional planter wall waterproofing and conduits determined necessary by staff to reduce future maintenance costs. A summary of the project schedule is as follows: Estimated Completion Date per July 2012 Baseline Schedule: December 24, 2012 Project Awarded for Construction: May 8, 2012 Completion Date from Award with Approved Extensions: March 6, 2013 Actual Substantial Construction Completion Date: April 11, 2013 "It should be noted that the extra work days required to complete this project as tabulated above was solely the result of the unresponsiveness of the submersible pump manufacturer in delivering the pump to Excel Paving Company to field install. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: At Contract Award, the City Council found this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQK) pursuant to Section 15301(d) (Restoration of deteriorated facilities to meet current safety standards) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. NOTICING: This agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act. In addition, the City Clerk will be filing a Notice of Completion for the project as a result of this action.
