BOARD MEETING DATE: |
April 2, 2002 |
| |
TO: |
Honorable Board of Supervisors |
FROM: |
Neil R. Cullen, Director of Public Works |
SUBJECT: |
Construction of Valley Gutters and the Resurfacing of Harvard Avenue, County Road No. 966 - MidCoast Area (Project No. R6W01, F-116 [200-B]) |
| |
Recommendation |
Adopt a resolution adopting plans and specifications, determining prevailing wage scales, and calling for sealed proposals for the construction of valley gutters and the resurfacing of Harvard Avenue between Broadway and Vassar Street. |
| |
Previous Board Action |
Authorized the Director of Public Works to execute agreements with utility agencies for utility type work less than $50,000 proposed to be done in conjunction with County road projects. |
| |
Key Facts |
1. |
Valley gutters need to be constructed to channel storm water along Harvard Avenue as the road is relatively flat and water currently ponds in the shoulder area which is causing damage to the road's structural section. |
| |
|
2. |
The road also needs to be resurfaced in order to maintain its structural integrity. |
| |
Discussion |
The proposed project, totaling approximately 0.23 miles in length, consists of the construction of valley gutters, pavement repair work, installation of pavement reinforcing fabric and resurfacing of the road. |
| |
The Coastside County Water District and the Granada Sanitary District have requested that the County include work on their facilities in conjunction with this proposed project; and agreements with the two districts will be executed by the Director as authorized by your Board prior to recommending that a contract be awarded to the low bidder. |
| |
The San Mateo County Planning Department has determined that this project is exempt: |
| |
| |
1. |
from the requirements for preparation of an EIR pursuant to Section 15301(C) of the California Environmental Quality Act and we have filed a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk in accordance with County guidelines. |
| |
| |
2. |
from the requirement for a Coastal Development Permit and a Certificate of Exemption has been filed with the County Clerk in accordance with County guidelines. |
| |
Vision Alignment |
We believe our recommendation is consistent with the County's Shared Commitment to "Ensure Basic Health and Safety for All," and Goal Number 7 "Maintain and Enhance the Public Safety of All Residents and Visitors," as the project will maintain the riding quality of the road while improving the drainage in the area for the benefit of the adjacent property owners as well as the public. |
| |
Fiscal Impact |
The total estimated cost of construction is $263,000 which is proposed to be financed as follows: |
| |
| |
Funds Appropriated in the County Road Fund in fiscal year 2001/2002 |
$260,200 |
| |
Coastside County Water District |
$ 1,200 |
| |
Granada Sanitary District |
$ 1,600 |
| |
| |
Total |
$263,000 |
| |
There is no impact to the General Fund |

A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel. |
