CITY MANAGER f /A—
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2010-140 terminating the local emergency for repair and stabilization of a
roadfill failure along the number two lane of Carlsbad Boulevard, Southbound southerly of the Encinas
Creek Bridge, Project No. 6032.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On January 17, 2010, and for several days following, severe storms produced substantial rainfall,
flooding and destructive tidal-surge wave action in Carlsbad. These events occurred on or about the
same time as higher than normal tides produced by an astronomical high tide event. On February 2,
2010, during a routine inspection, staff determined that the roadway along Carlsbad Boulevard, south
of the Encinas Creek Bridge had been compromised and the integrity of the roadway was at risk. Staff
implemented protocols to ensure the safety of the motoring public, bicyclists, and pedestrians, and a
local emergency was declared on February 5, 2010.
Construction for Carlsbad Blvd Emergency Riprap Repair, Project No. 6032 has been completed.
The Contract with Bert W. Salas is in the process of being executed and the Emergency Declaration
is no longer necessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Emergency projects are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15269.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The February 5, 2010 declaration initiated reviews by appropriate State agencies to determine if the
damage incurred is eligible for reimbursement from either the State or Federal Government. The
Governor declared a State of Emergency for the San Diego County on March 30, 2010. Staff has
been working with California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) to potentially obtain FHWA funding for the Carlsbad Blvd Emergency Riprap
Repairs, Project No. 6032. Staff has met FHWA representatives on site and is currently in discussion
with them to determine if the project qualifies for federal funding.
