RANCHO CARLSBAD CHANNEL MAINTENANCE PROJECT
PROJECT NO. 3338
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. --3-@7? approving a consultant agreement with Rick Engineering
Company for the completlon of envlronmental documentation and permitting and final engineering plans for the Rancho Carlsbad Channel Maintenance Project, Project No. 3338.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park (RCMHP) is an existing 108-acre, 504-space mobile home park located north and east of El Camino Real at Rancho Carlsbad Drive (see Exhibit 1). The RCMHP is a flood prone area due to the flooding potential of Agua Hedionda Creek and Calavera Creek that traverse the park and join together north of El Camino Real.
The Rancho Carlsbad Channel Maintenance Project is the first project in a series of recommended
significant reduction to the flooding potential in this area. Other recommended improvements to be improvements contained in the Drainage Concept Plan for this drainage basin that will lead to a
drainage detention basins upstream of the RCMHP. constructed by developing properties or future Capital Improvement Projects consist of four (4)
On November 4, 1997, per Resolution No. 97-672, the City Council approved a consultant
the Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basin Project. The Drainage Concept Plan Report dated agreement with Rick Engineering Company for the preparation of a Drainage Concept Plan for
June 30, 1998 was completed by Rick Engineering Company. The Drainage Concept Plan Report includes preliminary environmental impacts and summarizes the hydrologic and hydraulic studies conducted on the basin. In addition, the report makes recommendations for implementing the concept plan and thereby minimizing the 100-year flooding to the Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park.
On October 20, 1998, per Resolution No. 98-350, the City Council approved a consultant agreement with Rick Engineering Company to complete the initial phase of implementation of the Drainage Concept Plan which would involve the completion of environmental documentation and permitting and final engineering plans for the construction of the following improvements:
1. Detention Basin BJB (Master Storm Drain Facility BJB).
2. Calavera Creek (Master Storm Drain Facility BJ) and Agua Hedionda Creek Silt Removal and Channel Improvements within the Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park.
Master Storm Drain Detention Basin BJB is sited at the northeast intersection of the future extension of College Boulevard and Cannon Road on property owned by the Robertson Ranch (see Exhibit 1). The Calavera Hills Master Plan Amendment EIR (EIR 98-2), which includes the extension of College Boulevard and Cannon Road, was initiated in 1999. Due to the fact that Detention Basin BJB abuts College Boulevard and Cannon Road, the environmental processing for Detention Basin BJB was removed from the scope of the stand-alone City CIP drainage project and included in the processing for EIR 98-2. In addition, due to the high appraised value of the right-of-way for Detention Basin BJB and with the impending development of the Robertson Ranch and the construction of Cannon Road and College Boulevard, Detention Basin BJB was removed from the scope of the City CIP drainage project. Detention Basin BJB is scheduled to be constructed by the developer with the construction of Cannon Road and College Boulevard. The attached consultant agreement and scope of work (see Exhibit 3) therefore includes only the work items to complete the Silt Removal and Channel improvements within the RCMHP, identified as the Rancho Carlsbad Channel Maintenance Project.

The technical reports and studies pursuant to CEQA for the Calavera Creek and Agua Hedionda implementation of the Drainage Concept Plan expired in October 2000 after a two (2) year period.
Creek improvements within the RCMHP have been completed. The project is being designed to be environmentally sensitive and to avoid all impacts to existing mature trees. On receipt of an exhibit (included in the scope of work) showing that the existing trees in each of the creeks will not be impacted by the construction actidty within the RCMHP, a CEQA determination MI be rendered.

Due to outside factors not related to the consultant's performance, certain of the tasks but not all of the tasks covered in the second agreement were completed. This agreement expired in October 2000. It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached consultant agreement with Rick Engineering Company (Exhibit 3) for completion of the environmental documentation and permitting and final engineering plans for the Rancho Carlsbad Channel Maintenance Project.

Drainage improvements included in the City's Master Drainage Plan are consistent with the City's General Plan. The Scope of Work includes the completion of exhibits which, together with
would be used as the basis for an environmental determination in accordance with CEQA. previously completed technical reports and studies and Environmental Initial Study and Checklist,
permits from the California Department of Fish and Game, the Regional Water Quality Control In addition, the Scope of Work includes the preparation of the application packages for securing
Board and the U.S. Armycorps of Engineers.
The Planning Director has determined that execution of this contract is exempt from CEQA because the first phase of the contract will include preparation of CEQA documents. A CEQA determination in the project will be made once the additional preliminary engineering work authorized pursuant to Phase 1 of the consultant agreement is completed. The Phase II final engineering work will not be initiated until affer completion of the appropriate CEQA determination.
