- I A Since we cannot get this work accomplished before the upcoming rainy season, the following procedures will be put in place by the Public Works Services Department, to mitigate potential clogging and overflow during rain storms on a continuous, as- needed basis: 1. During light or average rainfall events, a roving crew will be assigned to check the inlet while on duty in the Garrett Park vicinity. 2. When heavy rains are forecast, a city worker will be stationed at the park with a truck, tools and a cell phone. Additional crews with heavy equipment will be on standby, and should debris accumulation at the inlet reach a predetermined level, they will give immediate response a top priority. 3. Necessary overtime to provide adequate coverage shall be absorbed by the department's approved budget, utilizing funds created by vacant positions. Alternatives The only other alternative is to not do this project. Fiscal Impact The estimated cost for the construction of these improvements is approximately $120,000, including design and construction administration. At this time, staff is requesting approval to go forward with the design services for an amount not to exceed $31,000. The firm of Kennedy Jenks Consultants was selected for this assignment because they are the original designer of the Redwood Creek storm drainage system. Also, they are intimately familiar with the City's storm drainage system and in particular with the Emerald Branch of the Creek to which this park is served. Funds for this project will be available from the Capital Improvement Program, under Storm Drain Creeks and Channels.
