ITEM #14 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT I+'OR THL UITY UOUINUIL MLEI11NU OF AUUUNI 1-N. LUUO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., PW DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2006/2007 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) TO INCREASING THE BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $170,000 FOR THE MALIBU COURT STORM DRAINAGE PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE REQUEST TO SOLICIT PUBLIC BIDS FOR MALIBU COURT STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. DATE: AUGUST 7, 2006 BACKGROUND: Most of the surface run-off along Reche Canyon Road (from Shadid Drive to Topanga Road) runs into a concrete catch basin located on the west side -north of Topanga Road. At Topanga Road and Malibu Court the run off water bubbles up and becomes surface flow. This water drains into a catch basin with a 48" diameter pipe that connects to the Reche Canyon Channel. Heavy rains throughout the year cause debris and mud to collect in the catch basin and along Malibu Court. As a result, this area is prone to flooding. The absence of curb and gutter on the east side of Reche Canyon Road add to the existing concern. To address the above mentioned problem, the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2006/2007 included the Malibu Court Drainage Improvement Project. However, the original scope of work has been expanded to include installation of a 42" and 48" diameter reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), rather than 18", and catch basin on the east of Reche Canyon Road; this is shown on the attached Exhibit A. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Engineering staff prepared the plans, specifications, and estimate for this Project and the Project is now ready to commence the bidding process. To ensure a wide range of potential bidders are reached by the advertising process the City will advertise in local newspapers and `plan houses' where contractors can view the Project's: plans, specifications and documents. This procedure is compliant to the process depicted by the City's purchasing ordinance 0-12-03, Section 3.08.090 (d) and 3.08.090 (e).
