i�•� REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager July 10, 2000 Subject Award of Contract - Redwood Shores Levee Improvement Project — Segment 1. Engineering File No. 803-02 Recommendation Adopt a resolution awarding the contract for the Redwood Shores Levee Improvement Project — Segment 1, to the lowest responsible bidder, Granite Construction Company, Inc. of Watsonville, California, for their low base bid of $339,457; waive any irregularities in the lowest responsible bid; and instruct staff to return all unsuccessful bidders' bid bonds. Background On April 24, 2000, the City Council approved the Contract Documents and authorized the advertisement for bids for this project. The project was designed by staff with the help of Bay Area Geotechnical Engineers, CAD Masters (Computer Aided Design), GeoCAD (aerial surveying), and recent experience with the other segments of the levee. Originally, this project was to be constructed during the spring/summer of 1999. However, the project was delayed, so the design could be revised to accommodate concerns raised by neighboring residents. To be in compliance with the agency permits, the revised design had to be re-approved by the agencies. The project was further delayed due to the expiration of the Corps permit to complete the levee system. A permit extension had to be requested and that review took some time. The permit has been issued with only one condition, which is to extend the existing fence lines further out into the marsh area. This segment of the levee stretches east, approximately from the cul-de-sac at Spar Drive to the boundaries of the Sunrise development, and the Sandpiper Lagoon development along Steinberger Slough. The project will raise the flood protection level, and add anywhere from two (2) to three (3) feet of height to the top of levee, bringing this segment of the levee into compliance with the Federal Emergency Management and Assistance (FEMA) guidelines. This project also includes the construction of the trail being sponsored by the Coastal Conservancy (Agreement approved by City Council February 14, 2000, by Resolution No. 13830). The design of this trail is appended to the design of this levee segment to attain cost efficiency in contract administration. This trail extends from the western terminus of the levee, along Steinberger Slough, behind the water storage tank, and will merge into a future trail system that is part of the proposed hotel development (across a slough from the southern terminus of Twin Dolphin Drive). _.__ . .� .�
