DISCUSSION:
On May 14, 2002, the City Council authorized the award of contract for the Balboa Island
Bayfront Repairs to GCI Construction, Inc. of Costa Mesa, California. The contract
provided for the construction of new concrete sidewalks and the installation of area
drains and 6 -inch diameter PVC drainpipes at select locations along North Bay Front
between Ruby Avenue and Marine Avenue. Surface drainage was re- directed toward
the public bulkhead to convey the surface runoff for below grade discharge into the
nearby street end catch basins. A 15 -inch diameter PVC storm drain was installed and
capped below the new sidewalks between Diamond Avenue and Coral Avenue in
anticipation of a future project to install an electric tide gate at the Sapphire Avenue
street end. The concrete curb and the adjacent roadway pavement were reconstructed
along the southerly side of Park Avenue from Collins Island to the first alley easterly
thereof to improve drainage. The deteriorated sidewalk panels along the easterly side
of Pearl Avenue between Park Avenue and South Bay Front were also reconstructed.
