January 28, 2002 Subject Approval of Agreement - Temporary Construction Easement - Friendly Acres Area Storm Drain Improvements Project - Phase II - Engineering File No. 801-04 Recommendation Approve an agreement for a temporary construction easement with Harbor Village LLC for the construction of the Friendly Acres Area Storm Drain Improvements Project - Phase II. Background On June 11, 2001, the City Council awarded a contract to McGuire & Hester of Oakland, California, to construct Phase II of the Friendly Acres Area Storm Drainage improvement Project. Construction began on September 17, 2001. On November 14, 2001, the 66-inch storm drainage pipe was successfully installed from 5th Avenue/Rolison Road to East Bayshore Road by crossing under Highway 101 using the Micro-tunneling technique. On November 17, 2001, the Contractor informed the City that the Micro-tunneling process (for some undetermined reason) had lost the precision control by six inches. A Specialist from out of State was hired by the Contractor to evaluate the situation. It was concluded that, by continuing to increase the jacking force, or making any attempt to correct the six inch offset, may damage the pipes already installed under Highway 101. Therefore, staff agreed to stop the Micro-tunneling process and approved the emergency retrieving process to retrieve the jacking head and electronic devices. The reason for the six-inch offset is still under investigation. In order to restart the Micro-tunneling process to complete the remaining 200 feet of the 66-inch storm drainage pipe within Harbor Village Mobil Home property, a temporary construction easement, in addition to the existing storm drainage easement, is required. On January 8, 2002, City staff members and the Owner of Harbor Village LLC reached an agreement on the conditions for allowing the City access for a temporary construction easement. The primary concern was the schedule to complete all of the work within the mobile home park. The work will be completed by March 4, 2002. A complete copy of the Agreement is available for review in the office of the City Clerk. Alternative There is no viable alternative to complete this portion of the storm drain project.
