'A TITLE: APPROPRlATlON OF FUNDS FOR UPGRADE DEPT.w ~~fi ANDREPLACEMENT OF MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN FACILITY "AC LOCATED AT NORTH END OF HIGHLAND DRIVE, CITY ATTY.GE? PROJECT NO. 3905 CITY MGR. % RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. ~002-297 appropriating funds from Planned Local Drainage Area "A" Fund for upgrade and replacement of Master Planned Drainage Facility "AC located at the north end of Highland Drive, Project No. 3905. ITEM EXPLANATION: The City's Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan (Master Drainage Plan) adopted by Council in March of 1994 calls for the upgrade and replacement of an existing storm drainage facility extending from the north terminus of Highland Drive to the Hosp Grove Park property. The facility to be upgraded and replaced is part of a larger storm drainage project identified as Facility "AC" in the Master Drainage Plan. In addition to the proposed facility to be upgraded and replaced, Facility "AC includes the extension of a new storm drain line from the existing line at the north terminus of Highland Drive southerly to Forest Avenue. A video survey was conducted in November of 2000 on the existing portion of storm drain Facility "AC". The video survey identified numerous areas where the pipe was broken and disjointed allowing drainage water to be discharged into the adjacent soils. Visual inspection of the area surrounding the pipe indicates a significant amount of erosion has occurred in the immediate vicinity visual inspection by staff the eroded materials are being deposited on City park property and do not of the pipe, resulting in a complete loss of function to the lower reaches of the pipe. Based upon a appear to have found their way into the Buena Vista Lagoon. In February of 2001, Mr. Dunn, the owner of the property located between Highland Drive and the City's Hosp Grove Park site, across which the existing drain pipe extends, submitted plans to the City for preliminary review of a proposed single family residence. One of the issues raised in the City response letter to Mr. Dunn was the matter of resolving the storm drain facility problems. On November 1, 2001, Mr. Dunn's engineering consultant, Mr. Gary Lipska, submitted a letter constructing the portion of Facility "AC that extends across his property. requesting City consideration of a reimbursement agreement with Mr. Dunn to pay him for After conducting an investigation of the matter, the Engineering Department responded by letter to Mr. Lipska on March 11. 2002 informing him that we would make a recommendation to Council to fund the project in the Fiscal Year 2002-03 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. We also stated we would consider entering into a reimbursement agreement with Mr. Dunn to construct the storm drain concurrent with his single family residence project in an effort to advance its construction. Due to time and resource constraints, staff was unable to include this project in the budgetary request for the FY 2002-03 CIP. We are therefore requesting appropriation for this project by way of this agenda bill. Subsequent to our letter of March 11, 2002, Mr. Dunn retained an attorney to assist him with the resolution of this matter. Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 16,920 Staff intends to proceed with the preliminary engineering for the project and obtain the environmental and permitting approvals for the storm drain project. Once the permits have been whether to proceed with construction as a City project or as a reimbursement agreement with Mr. obtained, we will proceed to final design of the project. Once final design is complete, we will assess Dunn. In either case, City staff will return to Council for either approval of a reimbursement agreement or approval to bid the plans and specifications for the storm drain reconstruction as a public works project. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The replacement of the storm drain is categorically exempt from CEQA per Section 15301(d) as the repair of an existing facility. Consultation with the Planning Department and, if necessary, a biological survey will be performed in conjunction with preliminary design. Final design will not commence until after environmental approval has been obtained FISCAL IMPACT: The portion of Drainage Master Plan Facility "AC" extending from Highland Drive to its terminus at Adequate funds currently exist within Planned Local Drainage Fee Area "A to fund the estimated Hosp grove Park is estimated within the Master Drainage Plan Fee program to cost $256,600. costs. Should the actual cost to construct this project exceed the Master Drainage Plan cost estimate, Council will need to fund the balance from other funding sources or revise the Master Drainage Plan fee program in accordance with City Code.
