ANALYSIS:
The contracted work on the potable water main replacement on Cypress Point Drive and Oakland Hills Drive was completed on November 16, 2022. The pavement restoration portion of the work will be competitively bid in accordance with the CMC.
Before completing the asphalt paving restoration, Utilities Department staff reached out to SoCal Gas Company (SoCal Gas) to determine if they had any future gas main replacement projects for the area. At that time, SoCal Gas informed staff that they were in the design phase of their gas main replacement project. As of November 11, 2022, SoCal Gas is in the construction phase. Staff has postponed the paving restoration portion of the work until SoCal Gas completes its gas main installation project. Staff is collaborating and drafting an agreement with SoCal Gas to pay for its fair share of the paving restoration cost.
Since the emergency portion of the work is complete, staff recommends that the City Council terminate the emergency action.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There were no additional financial impacts beyond the cost of repairs approved by the City Council on September 7, 2022.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely terminates the emergency work to replace an existing potable water main to maintain public health and safety and therefore is exempt from the requirements of CEQA. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
