with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15074.1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures that it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure(s) is(are) equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment.
1) Based on the whole record (including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. 2) The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Redding.

DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.

MITIGATION MEASURES
The following mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project to minimize potential effects on biological resources:
• MM-1. Environmental awareness training for construction personnel will be conducted by a qualified biologist prior to onset of work to brief them on how to recognize and avoid impacts to all applicable species.
• MM-2. A qualified biologist will conduct at least one survey within suitable aquatic and upland habitat for northwestern pond turtles and their nests within one week of construction activities.
• MM-3. If northwestern pond turtles or their nests are encountered in the work area during construction and could be harmed by construction activities, work will stop in the area.

Individual turtles will be allowed to move away from the study area on their own accord. If a northwestern pond turtle nest is found, a qualified biologist (in consultation with CDFW and USFWS) will determine the extent of a construction-free buffer zone to be established around the nest.
• MM-4. If western spadefoot toads are encountered anytime during construction, project activities will cease in the immediate vicinity until the toads move to a new location (out of harm’s way) without human interference. Should relocation activity become necessary, consultation will be re-initiated with USFWS.
• MM-5. Prior to moving equipment or materials each day, construction personnel shall inspect underneath and around equipment, other project materials (e.g., stored pipes greater than 2 inches in diameter), and trenches located within 200 feet of aquatic habitat for western spadefoot toads.
• MM-6. For work conducted during the western spadefoot toad migration and breeding season (November 1 to May 31), a qualified biologist will survey the active work areas (including access roads) in mornings following measurable precipitation events. Construction may Packet Pg. 212 Attachment: Mitigated Negative Declaration (4.11(c)--Consider Approval of the Magnums Area Remote Sewer Project) City of Redding

commence once the biologist has confirmed that no spadefoot toads are in the work area. • MM-7. To the extent practicable, removal of brush will occur outside of the maternal denning period (i.e., July 1 through April 30) for ringtail cat. If vegetation removal is to occur during the maternal denning period (May 1 through June 30), a qualified biologist will conduct a preconstruction survey of the study area to locate maternity dens and identify measures to protect those maternity dens from disturbance. The pre-construction survey will be performed no more than seven days prior to the vegetation removal.
• MM-8. If construction or vegetation removal occurs during the nesting season, February 1 through August 31 for birds and November 1 through July 15 for raptors, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey to locate active nests. The pre-construction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a lapse in construction activities occurs for 7 days or longer, another pre-construction survey will be performed. If an active nest is found, a qualified biologist (in consultation with the CDFW) will determine the extent of a buffer zone to be established around the nest.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT PROGRAM

MAGNUMS AREA REMOTE SEWER PROJECT
(STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO. 2025-080307)

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM CONTENTS
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring and Environmental Commitment Program (MMP/ECP) for the Magnums Area Sewer Project (project). The MMP/ECP includes a brief discussion of the legal basis for, and the purpose of, the program, discussion, and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance; a key to understanding the monitoring matrix; and the monitoring matrix.

LEGAL BASIS OF AND PURPOSE FOR THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM California Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires public agencies to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs whenever certifying an environmental impact report (EIR) or a mitigated negative declaration (MND). This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.

The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project. It is intended to be used by City of Redding (City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation monitoring personnel during implementation of the project.

Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370 as a measure that does any of the following:
▪ Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action. ▪ Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation. ▪ Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment. ▪ Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project.
▪ Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.

The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation measures and permit conditions. The MMP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary, onsite identification and resolution of environmental problems, and proper reporting to City staff.

In addition to meeting the CEQA MMP requirements, this document incorporates environmental commitments, standard practices, conservation measures, and best management practices (BMPs). The environmental commitments may be part of the project design, standard contract specifications, City requirements, or conservation measures. These commitments are part of the project, but they do not constitute mitigation under CEQA as they have not been incorporated to reduce a potentially significant impact.

MITIGATION MONITORING/ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT PROGRAM TABLE The MMP/ECP Table identifies the mitigation measures and commitments proposed for the project.

The tables have the following columns:
▪ Mitigation Measure: Lists the mitigation measures identified within the Initial Study for a specific potentially significant impact, along with the number for each measure as enumerated in the Initial Study.
▪ Environmental Commitment: Lists the commitments identified within the project that are not related to a potentially significant CEQA impact, but further ensure environmental resource protection.
▪ Timing: Identifies at what point in time, review process, or phase the mitigation measure will be completed.
▪ Agency/Department Consultation: References the City department or any other public agency with which coordination is required to satisfy the identified mitigation measure. ▪ Verification: Spaces to be initialed and dated by the individual designated to verify adherence to a specific mitigation measure.

NONCOMPLIANCE COMPLAINTS
Any person or agency may file a complaint asserting noncompliance with the mitigation measures and commitments associated with the project. The complaint shall be directed to the City in written form, providing specific information on the asserted violation. The City shall investigate and determine the validity of the complaint. If noncompliance with a mitigation measure has occurred, the City shall take appropriate action to remedy any violation. The compliant shall receive written confirmation indicating the results of the investigation or the final action corresponding to the particular noncompliance issue.

Report to Redding City Council October 2, 2025
Re: 4.11(d)--Award BS 5497 Cypress Pump Station Facility Page 2 Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget. Due to the bid results coming in above the engineer’s estimate, staff identified additional funds from the Water Line Replacement Holding Account and performed an Appropriations Transfer (AT) pursuant to Council Policy 401 to the Water Line Replacement Account in the amount of $2,434,838 on October 1, 2025. There is no additional impact to the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the bid for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. If the project is not awarded, the City will not be able to maximize the use of higher quality surface water while minimizing reliance on more expensive groundwater sources.

Background/Analysis
Attached is a project tabulation of bids received and opened on August 28, 2025. The low bid in the amount of $3,713,625 was received from RTA Construction, Inc. of Redding, California. The engineer’s estimate was $2,855,000. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $910,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-ofway, environmental, and consultant services.

The project includes the demolition and removal of the existing pump station located at 777 Cypress Avenue – at the southeast corner of the City Hall campus - to be replaced with a new pump station housed in a masonry block building with a sloping metal roof. The pump station will consist of a new pump with associated appurtenances, a new 24-inch pipeline, electrical instrumentation, landscaping, paving, miscellaneous storm drain, and wrought iron fence with gate.

Due to long lead times for some of the equipment, it is anticipated that the project will be completed by Fall 2027.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project qualifies as categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301-Existing Facilities, Section 15302-Replacement or Reconstruction, and Section 15303-New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities, structures, or equipment involving negligible or no expansion of use. Class 2 exemptions consists of replacement or reconstruction where the new structure will be located on the same site and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity. Class 3 exemptions consist of construction and location of new small facilities and equipment, or conversion of existing structures. The new Cypress Pump Station Facility and associated electrical equipment will be installed at the existing emergency facility, and the project does not involve expansion of facility use. The project has been reviewed for sensitive resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Authorize and approve the following actions relative to the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge Replacement Project:
(1) Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the Mitigation Monitoring and Environmental Commitment Program; and
(2) Approve the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge Replacement Project as described, thereby satisfying the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines §15074.

Fiscal Impact
Approval of the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge Replacement Project (Project) along with adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) allows the project to move toward the final design and construction phases.

There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of adopting the MND, MMP, and approving the project.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not adopt the MND and the MMP, and not approve the project as described. This project could not proceed without the approval of these documents, as it would not be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Background/Analysis
The existing bridge, built in 1960, has narrow travel lanes and no shoulders for pedestrian and bicycle use. The existing bridge, which is 32-feet-wide and 100-feet-long, would be replaced with a 52-foot-wide and 109-foot-long bridge. The new bridge would incorporate two 12-foot lanes, eight-foot shoulders, and six-foot sidewalks. The roadway will be modified on the east and MEETING DATE: October 7, 2025

west sides of the bridge to conform to the new bridge width. The purpose of the project is to improve safety conditions for vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic and to improve the hydraulic capacity of Olney Creek at the bridge.

The project includes: sidewalk improvements; ADA compliant curb, gutter, and ramps; and lighting improvements. Construction work will consist of vegetation removal, access ramps, temporary clear water diversion, bridge demolition, earthwork, falsework, drilling, vibratory hammers, trenching, utility relocation, drainage installation and modification, bridge construction, rock slope protection, revegetation, paving, striping, and sign replacement/installation. The improvements will be constructed in the City of Redding’s (City) right of way and within easement areas. The bridge will be constructed over two seasons, with one side of the bridge being removed and reconstructed the first year, and the second side of the bridge being removed and reconstructed the following year. Traffic control will consist of a single lane of alternating traffic, controlled by temporary signals. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027 and continue through 2028. The current total project cost is estimated at $8.5 million dollars.

An Initial Study (IS) was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the CEQA. It describes why the project is being proposed and the potential impacts to the existing environment. The IS shows that the proposed project could have a significant effect on biological resources, but with implementation of mitigation measures, those impacts will be reduced to a level considered less than significant. The mitigation measures and conservation measures to be implemented are common practices and include, but are not limited to, biological pre-construction surveys, inwater work windows, water quality monitoring, impact minimization, exclusionary fencing, and erosion control.

Based on the conclusions made in the IS, an MND was prepared. The MND describes the project, including mitigation measures, and makes the determination that there will be no significant effect on the environment provided that the defined mitigation measures are implemented as part of the project. In addition, an MMP has been written and incorporated into the MND (CEQA Section 21081.6). The MMP will be used by City staff, contractors, agencies, and monitoring personnel during and after the project to ensure effective implementation of the adopted mitigation measures outlined in the MND.

The IS/MND/MMP documents were sent to the State Clearinghouse for a 30-day public review period and distribution to pertinent state agencies. They were sent to local resource agencies, the Shasta County Clerk, and posted on the Public Works Department website. A public notice was also sent to landowners in the vicinity of the project and posted in the local newspaper. One comment letter was received during the public review period.

Environmental Review
The City is the lead agency for the project pursuant to CEQA. As the lead CEQA agency, the Council is authorized to adopt the MND per Redding Municipal Code Section §18.24.070.E and state law. Upon adoption of the MND and approval of the project by the Council, a Notice of Determination will be filed with the Shasta County Clerk’s Office and the State Clearinghouse, completing the environmental review process. The IS/MND is available in the Public Works Department and is currently available online at:

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

GIRVAN ROAD OVER OLNEY CREEK BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO. 2025071047

SUBJECT
Girvan over Olney Creek Bridge Replacement Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Redding (City) proposes to replace the Girvan Road Bridge (O6C-0341) over Olney Creek.

The purpose of the project is to improve safety conditions for vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic and to improve the hydraulic capacity of Olney Creek at the bridge. The existing bridge, built in 1960, has narrow travel lanes and no shoulders for pedestrian and bicycle use. The existing bridge, which is 32 feet wide and 100 feet long, would be replaced with a 52-foot-wide and 109-foot-long bridge. The new bridge would incorporate two 12-foot lanes, 8-foot shoulders, and 6-foot sidewalks. The roadway will be modified on the east and west sides of the bridge to conform to the new bridge width.

The project includes: sidewalk improvements; ADA compliant curb, gutter, and ramps; and lighting improvements. Construction work will consist of vegetation removal, access ramps, temporary clear water diversion, bridge demolition, earthwork, falsework, drilling, vibratory hammers, trenching, utility relocation, drainage installation and modification, bridge construction, rock slope protection, revegetation, paving, striping, and sign replacement/installation. The improvements will be constructed in the City right of way and within easement areas. The bridge will be constructed over two seasons, with one side of the bridge being removed and reconstructed the first year, and the second side of the bridge being removed and reconstructed the following year. Traffic control will consist of a single lane of alternating traffic, controlled by temporary signals. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027 and continue through 2028.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
This project is located 0.60 mile east of Eastside Road near State Route 273 in south Redding, Shasta County, California. It is also located within the Enterprise, California 7.5-minute U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle at a longitude and latitude of -122.36904 and 40.51320 decimal degrees, respectively.

The approximately 1.63-acre project area largely consists single family residences, a community park (Cascade Park), and open space. Olney Creek flows south through the project area to the confluence with the Sacramento River. Riparian vegetation is located along Olney Creek to the north and south of the project area. Elevations in the project area are between approximately 420 and 450 feet above mean sea level and the topography along the Olney Creek terrace is nearly level.

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION
The City of Redding conducted an Initial Study (attached) that determined that the proposed project could have significant environmental effects on biological resources. Implementation of specific mitigation Packet Pg. 233 Attachment: ^Mitigated Negative Declaration Girvan Road Bridge (4.11(e)--Consider Approval of the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge City of Redding

September 2025
measures identified below will avoid or mitigate the potentially significant environmental effects identified, and the preparation of an environmental impact report will not be required. If there are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another environmental impact determination will be necessary.

Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable. In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15074.1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures that it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure(s) is(are) equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment.
1) Based on the whole record (including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. 2) The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Redding.

DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.

MITIGATION MEASURES
The following mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project to minimize potential effects on biological resources:

MM-1. The in-stream project construction period will be limited to the dry season (June 1–October 15). If water is present during construction, a temporary stream diversion will be used to divert water away from in-stream construction and maintain flow and fish passage.

MM-2. Prior to any in-stream work, the area will be visually inspected for fish presence. If presence of fish is noted, species data will be collected, and they will be herded away from the area using seines. If appropriate, seines could be placed upstream and downstream of the project area to prevent fish from entering the area. All translocation or removal of fishes will be conducted by qualified fisheries biologists.

MM-3. Any gravels or materials used for the temporary stream diversion will be rounded fish spawning gravel that is properly disinfected or cleaned prior to installation. The materials will be washed at least once and have a cleanliness value of 85 or higher based on Caltrans Test No. 227.

MM-4. Environmental awareness training for construction personnel will be conducted by a qualified biologist prior to onset of work to brief them on how to recognize foothill yellow-legged frog, western pond turtle, and other special-status animals that may occur in the project area.

Mitigated Negative Declaration Public Works Department, Engineering Division Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge Replacement Project Page 3 September 2025
MM-5. If foothill yellow-legged frogs or western pond turtles (including nests) are encountered in the project area during construction and could be harmed by construction activities, work will stop in the area and the City will consult with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

MM-6. If construction or vegetation removal occurs during the nesting season, February 1 through August 31 for birds and November 1 through July 15 for raptors, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey to locate active nests. The pre-construction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a lapse in construction activities occurs for 7 days or longer, another pre-construction survey will be performed. If an active nest is found, a qualified biologist (in consultation with the CDFW) will determine the extent of a buffer zone to be established around the nest.

MM-7. To the extent practicable, removal of large trees (greater than 10” dbh) with cavities, crevices, or snags shall occur before bat maternity colonies form (i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are volant (i.e., after August 31). If construction, including the removal of large trees, occurs during the bat non-volant season (March 1 through August 31), a qualified professional shall conduct a pre-construction survey of the study area to locate maternity colonies and identify measures to protect colonies from disturbance. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a lapse in construction activities occurs for 7 days or longer, another pre-construction survey will be performed. If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified professional, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities.

Comment 1. Natural Environment Study:

Response: A Natural Environment Study (Stantec 2022a) was prepared to review special-status species and other sensitive biological resources that occur or have the potential to occur in the project area and vicinity. In addition, a Biological Assessment/Essential Fish Habitat Assessment (BA/EFHA) was prepared to assess potential impacts of the proposed project on federally listed salmon and steelhead (Stantec 2022b). Information from these technical reports is included in Section IV. Biological Resources (page 12-19) of the IS/MND. Article 5, Section 15063, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) identifies both the purpose and required contents of an Initial Study. CEQA Section 15603 does not require an IS/MND to include the supporting technical studies. As indicated on page 7 of the IS/MND these studies are on file at the City of Redding and electronic copies of the reports are available upon request.

Recirculation of the IS/MND is not required or warranted.

Comment 2. Crotch’s Bumble Bee
Response: Crotch’s Bumble Bee was considered during the environmental phase of the project, and it was determined that the project and surrounding areas do not provide suitable nesting or foraging habitat for this species. The project area is 1.63 acres with 54% being comprised of the bridge, roadway, compacted dirt staging area, and an urban park. The remaining 46% is a linear Packet Pg. 245 Attachment: Response to Comments Girvan Road Bridge (4.11(e)--Consider Approval of the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge 2 stretch of Valley Oak Woodland, Valley Foothill Riparian, Riverine and Barren/Grassland that is immediately adjacent to the roadway. Surrounding land uses include the creek corridor, an urban grass/turf park, residential subdivisions, and roadways. Crotch bumble bees occur in California, southwestern Nevada, and Baja California. The bees inhabit open grassland and scrub habitats. Important food plants include Asclepias, Chaenactis, Lupinus, Phacelia, and Salvia. The species was historically common throughout much of the southern two-thirds of California, but now appears to be absent from most of it. California Natural Diversity Database, Bumble Bee Watch, and iNaturalist indicate that no records of the Crotch bumble bee have been found within a five-mile-radius of the project area. Further, the project site consists primarily of urban built environment with a little oak woodland and annual grassland understory; the site does not offer an abundance of floral resources, thus making it unlikely that bumble bees would depend on the project site as foraging habitat. Therefore, it is unlikely that Crotch’s bumble bee would be present on the project site or adversely affected by project implementation.

Comment 3. In-Stream Work Window
Response: The in-stream work window has been modified and now has an end date of October

15. Comment 4. Fish Presence and Translocation
Response: The measure has been modified to include species data collection.

Comment 5. Avoidance and Protection of Bats
Response: As indicated in the mitigation measure, a bat survey will be conducted by a qualified biologist and if suitable roosting habitat is identified the City and the biologist will consult with CDFW.

Comment 6. Limited Vegetation Removal/Exclusionary Fencing Response: The Biological conservations measures were provided by the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Letter of Concurrence for the project, and this language cannot be modified.

However, the City can include requirements in the plans and specifications that include highly visible markers in the riparian corridor, rather than exclusionary fencing, thus addressing wildlife entrapment concerns.

Comment 7. California Endangered Species Act (CESA)
Response: The City will coordinate with CDFW in compliance with CESA.

Comment 8. Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSAA) Response: The City will coordinate with CDFW to obtain a LSAA (permit) upon completion of CEQA.

SUBJECT: Review of Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge Replacement Project, City of Redding, State Clearing House Number 2025071047 Dear Amber Kelley:

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has reviewed the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND), dated July 2025, for the above-referenced project (Project). CDFW appreciates this opportunity to comment on the Project, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines1.

CDFW’s Role
CDFW is California’s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the state (Fish & G.

Code, §§ 711.7, subd. (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; CEQA Guidelines § 15386, subd. (a)). CDFW, in its Trustee Agency capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (Id., § 1802). Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on projects and related activities that have the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife resources.

CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA (Pub.

Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381). CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code. Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in “take” as defined by state law, of any species protected under the 1 CEQA is codified in the California Public Resources Code in section 21000 et seq. The “CEQA Guidelines” are found in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, commencing with section 15000.

California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.) or state listed rare plants pursuant to the Native Plant Protection Act (NPPA; Fish & G. Code § 1900 et seq.), authorization as provided by the applicable Fish and Game Code may be required.

Project Description:

The Project, as it is described in the ISMND is as follows:

“The City of Redding (Lead Agency) is proposing to replace the Girvan Road Bridge (O6C-0341) over Olney Creek. The purpose of the project is to improve safety conditions for vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic and to improve the hydraulic capacity of Olney Creek at the bridge.

The Project includes sidewalk improvements; ADA compliant curb, gutter, and ramps; and lighting improvements. Construction work will consist of vegetation removal, access ramps, temporary clear water diversion, bridge demolition, earthwork, falsework, drilling, vibratory hammers, trenching, utility relocation, drainage installation and modification, bridge construction, rock slope protection, revegetation, paving, striping, and sign replacement/installation.

The improvements will be constructed in the City right of way and within easement areas. The bridge will be constructed over two seasons, with one side of the bridge being removed and reconstructed the first year, and the second side of the bridge being removed and reconstructed the following year. Traffic control will consist of a single lane of alternating traffic, controlled by temporary signals. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027 and continue through 2028.”
Biological Setting:

The Project is located along Olney Creek, a tributary to the upper Sacramento River in the northern Sacramento Valley. The regional landscape is a patchwork of urban/suburban development, valley foothill oak woodland, annual grassland, and riparian/riverine habitats associated with Olney Creek and the Sacramento River corridor. Olney Creek flows south through the Project area to the confluence of the Sacramento River. The hydrology of Olney Creek is seasonal to intermittent in its upper reaches, with perennial pools/runs possible in lower, shaded segments near the confluence. Flows are rainfall and stormwater-driven with flashy hydrographs during winter–spring storms and baseflow sustained by urban runoff and shallow groundwater.

Olney Creek supports a defined bed with banks of riparian dominated by Packet Pg. 249 Attachment: Response to Comments Girvan Road Bridge (4.11(e)--Consider Approval of the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge

Fremont cottonwood (Populus fremontii), willow (Salix spp.), Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia), box elder (Acer negundo), with an understory of Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), wild grape (Vitis californica), and various herbaceous species. Adjacent uplands support valley oak (Quercus lobata) and blue oak (Quercus douglasii) woodland, ruderal/thatched annual grassland, urbanized landscaped areas, and disturbed scrub along roads and utility corridors.

Riparian habitat to the north and south of the Project area, as well as the adjacent upland vegetation, likely support tree-dwelling bats, migratory birds and protected raptor species such as Osprey (Pandion haliaetus, SSC) and Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus, CESA Endangered and Fully Protected).

Olney Creek contains suitable habitat for Northwestern pond turtle (Actinemys marmorata, State Species of Special Concern [SSC]), steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus pop. 11, SSC) and Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha pop. 13, Central Valley fall / late fall-run ESU, SSC), and may periodically support two additional Chinook Salmon runs including CESA Endangered Sacramento River winter-run ESU and CESA Endangered Central Valley spring-run ESU.

Comments and Recommendations
CDFW staff recognize that the Lead Agency has taken some appropriate steps to evaluate this Projects impacts to biological resources however CDFW offers the following comments and recommendations to further assist the Lead Agency in adequately identifying, avoiding, and minimizing potentially significant, direct, and indirect impacts on biological resources with the implementation of the Project.

Natural Environment Study
The ISMND indicates that a Natural Environment Study (NES) was prepared to assess the impact of the Project on biological resources. The NES was not included in the documents available for review to the public. Without attaching the NES or including specific information from the NES into the ISMND, it is challenging to determine which species and habitats with potential to occur were considered, if any protocol-level biological surveys were performed and overall adequacy of the biological assessment. CDFW recommends re-posting the draft ISMND for public review with information from the NES, to more adequately disclose this Projects potential impacts to biological resources.

Comment 2

Comment 3

Crotch’s Bumble Bee
Without the NES, it’s not clear if special-status bumble bees were considered as part of this Project’s biological assessment. On September 30, 2022, the California Fish and Game Commission accepted a petition to list Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii, CBB) under CESA, advancing the species to the candidacy stage of the CESA listing process. Candidate species are granted full protection under CESA during this period. Take of any endangered, threatened, or candidate species that results from the Project is prohibited, except as authorized by state law (Fish & G. Code, §§ 86, 2062, 2067, 2068, 2080, 2085; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 786.9).

CBB may inhabit diverse habitats including woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, agricultural lands and urban landscapes. Without assessment, and appropriate avoidance and minimization measures, potentially significant impacts to CBB may occur with the implementation of this Project.

Since this Project bisects the range of CBB, CDFW recommends a CBB habitat assessment is performed by a qualified biologist and included in an amended NES and final ISMND. If the habitat assessment concludes the Project area has potentially suitable CBB, avoidance and minimization measures should be employed to avoid potential impacts in accordance with CDFW’s June 2023 Survey Considerations for California Endangered Species Act (CESA) Candidate Bumble Bee Species2.

Mitigation Measure 1: In-Stream Work Window and Fish Passage Protection Mitigation Measure 1 (MM-1) states “The in-stream project construction period will be limited to the dry season (June 1–October 31). If water is present during construction, a temporary stream diversion will be used to divert water away from in-stream construction and maintain flow and fish passage.” CDFW recommends revising MM-1 to state “The in-stream project construction period shall be limited to the dry season, June 1 through October 15. If water is present during construction, a CDFW-approved temporary stream diversion shall be installed to divert water away from the in-stream construction area while maintaining continuous downstream flow and fish passage through the worksite consistent with CDFW guidance. The contractor shall monitor weather forecasts and stream conditions during the work period; if the first substantial fall rains occur prior to October 15, or if river/creek flow increases, salmon and steelhead may begin upstream migration. In such cases, work shall be 2 https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=213150&inline Packet Pg. 251 Attachment: Response to Comments Girvan Road Bridge (4.11(e)--Consider Approval of the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge

conducted to maintain unimpeded CDFW-approved fish passage. In-stream construction shall not occur after October 15 unless otherwise authorized in writing by CDFW and NMFS.”
This revision shortens the allowable work window to avoid overlap with the onset of fall-run Chinook Salmon and steelhead trout migrations, which typically begin after the first substantial autumn rains. Maintaining fish passage after the onset of these flows is critical to avoid migration delays or blockage.

Mitigation Measure 2: Fish Prescence and Translocation Procedures Mitigation Measure 2 (MM-2) states “Prior to any in-stream work, the area will be visually inspected for fish presence. If presence of fish is noted, they will be herded away from the area using seines. If appropriate, seines could be placed upstream and downstream of the project area to prevent fish from entering the area. All translocation or removal of fishes will be conducted by qualified fisheries biologists.”
Please note that the lower reaches of Olney Creek historically receive leakage from Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District canal crossing of the creek above State Route 273 resulting in a maintained flow and habitat connectivity throughout the summer and fall. CDFW believes that during the high summertime irrigation flows in the Sacramento River, juvenile salmonids can access and use lower Olney Creek for non-natal rearing. It is unclear at this time if the backwater effect from the Sacramento River that allows non-natal rearing can impact the Girvan Road bridge Project area. Species present in the lower reaches of the creek could include CESA-listed spring-run Chinook Salmon, CESA-listed winter-run Chinook Salmon, fall-run Chinook Salmon, and ESA-listed steelhead trout.

The ability for fish translocation will depend on a fisheries assessment of the presence of juvenile CESA-listed species. CDFW recommends revising MM-2 to state “Prior to any in-stream work, the Project area shall be visually inspected for fish presence by a qualified fisheries biologist. If fish are observed, the need for translocation shall be determined based on a fisheries assessment of the species present, with specific consideration for the potential occurrence of juvenile CESA-listed species. If juvenile CESA-listed species are present, all handling, translocation, or removal shall be conducted only under appropriate CDFW and/or NMFS authorization and in accordance with agency-approved methods. If determined appropriate, fish may be herded away from the work Packet Pg. 252 Attachment: Response to Comments Girvan Road Bridge (4.11(e)--Consider Approval of the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge

area using seines, and barrier seines may be placed upstream and downstream to prevent fish from entering the work area. All fish relocation activities shall be conducted by qualified fisheries biologists under the terms of applicable permits.”
This revision ensures that translocation activities are informed by a formal assessment of species presence, thereby avoiding unauthorized take of CESAlisted fish and ensuring compliance with CESA.

Comment 5 Mitigation Measure 7: Avoidance and Protection of Bats Bats are considered non-game mammals and are afforded protection by state law from take and/or harassment (Fish & G. Code, § 4150; Cal. Code of Regs., § 251.1). Construction activities, including ground disturbance, vegetation removal, and any activities leading to increased noise levels, may have direct and/or indirect impacts on bats and bat roosts. Trees that contain cavities, crevices, or exfoliated bark have high potential to be used by various bat species.

While CDFW staff are pleased to see the ISMND considers potential impacts to bats, the avoidance and minimization measure, MM-7, appears to only consider impacts to maternity roosts and does not consider impacts to individual roosting bats. CDFW recommends including a pre-construction survey by a qualified biologist to identify and mark trees slated for removal within the Project area that contain suitable bat roosting habitat features before tree removal occurs, and to include a two-step removal process to further reduce the risk of impacts to bats. CDFW recommends incorporating the following revisions, shown in bold, to MM-7 to more adequately avoid this Projects potential impacts to bats:

MM-7: A qualified biologist shall perform a pre-construction visual inspection of trees larger than 10” diameter at breast height (DBH) to identify and clearly mark trees that have potential roosting features (e.g., cavities, crevices in wood and bark, exfoliating bark for colonial species, suitable canopy for foliage roosting species). Removal of marked trees should be performed in accordance with the following methods:

1. Removal of marked trees should occur only during the following time frames and subject to the following weather conditions, or as otherwise approved/recommended by a qualified biologist:

o Between March 15 and April 30, and between August 15 and October 1; and
o Between October 2 and March 14 when evening temperatures are above 45°F, and no more than ½” of rainfall within a 24-hour period prior to tree removal.

2. Marked trees shall be removed using a two-step process to allow

individually roosting bats the opportunity to abandon the roost prior to

removal. The two-step removal process is as follows:

o Day 1: Remove small-diameter trees, brush, and non-habitat features of marked trees (branches without cavities, crevices, or exfoliating bark) to alter existing conditions around the roost thus encouraging bats to vacate the roost on their own. The tree shall then be left for 24 hours to allow the bats to move to another roost site.
o Day 2: If bats are thought to be in marked tree branches that can successfully be removed and set aside, cut the branches off intact and set them upright against trees away from the Project area to allow any bats present to passively escape. Then, remove the remainder of the tree.

If construction (including the removal of large trees) must occur outside of the above time frames, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey of the project area to locate maternity colonies and identify measures to protect the colonies from disturbance. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than seven days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a lapse in construction activities for seven days or longer occurs between those dates, another preconstruction survey will be performed. If a maternity colony is found a qualified biologist (in consultation with the CDFW) will determine the extent of a construction-free buffer zone to be established around the nest. If practicable, removal of large trees with cavities will occur before maternity colonies form (i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are capable of flying (i.e., after August 15).

BIO-2 – Limited Vegetation Removal/Exclusionary Fencing Due to the risk of obstruction to terrestrial wildlife connectivity and entanglement, CDFW recommends revising BIO-2 to state “Areas where vegetation needs to be removed shall be identified in advance of ground Packet Pg. 254 Attachment: Response to Comments Girvan Road Bridge (4.11(e)--Consider Approval of the Girvan Road Over Olney Creek Bridge

disturbance and limited to only those areas approved by the City. Areas to be avoided shall be clearly identified in the construction drawings and contractor work plans. Exclusionary fencing shall be installed around riparian and other sensitive areas that are not to be disturbed; however, in riparian corridors and other high-value wildlife movement areas, fencing shall be of a wildlifepermeable design that avoids materials likely to cause entanglement (e.g., plastic mesh, silt fence with loose edges) and shall not create a barrier to wildlife connectivity. Acceptable alternatives may include wildlife-friendly post-and-rope barriers, highly visible flagging on T-posts, or other temporary delineation measures that clearly demarcate the work limit for construction personnel while allowing for safe wildlife passage. All pedestrian and vehicular traffic into the avoided areas delineated by the fencing or markers shall be prohibited during construction. Fencing or delineation shall be inspected and maintained regularly throughout project construction to ensure integrity and visibility.”
This revision maintains the protective intent of BIO-2 while avoiding the use of high-visibility or mesh exclusionary fencing in riparian areas, which can obstruct wildlife movement corridors and increase the risk of entanglement for small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Wildlife-permeable delineation methods provide a visual boundary to construction workers without impeding wildlife passage.

Comment 7 California Endangered Species Act
Please be advised that a CESA Incidental Take Permit3 must be obtained if the Project has the potential to result in “take” (hunt, pursue, catch, capture, kill, or attempt thereof) of plants or animals listed under CESA, either during construction or over the life of the project. Issuance of a CESA permit is subject to CEQA documentation; the CEQA document must specify impacts, mitigation measures, and a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. If the Project has the potential to result in take of a CESA-listed species, early consultation is encouraged, as significant modification to the Project may be necessary to minimize and fully mitigate impacts as required by Fish and Game Code, section 2081(b)(2).

project on other special-status fish species. This project may qualify for CESA take authorization through a Consistency Determination4(CD).

If a species is listed as endangered or threatened under the federal ESA and listed as endangered, threatened, or candidate under CESA, Fish and Game Code section 2080.1 allows an applicant who has obtained a federal incidental take statement (federal Section 7 consultation) or a federal incidental take permit (federal Section 10(a)(1)(B)) to request that the Director of CDFW find the federally authorized take consistent with CESA. If CDFW finds the federal take authorization consistent with CESA and issues a CD, no further authorization or approval is necessary under CESA. For federal take authorization to be found consistent, it must meet the following criteria:

1. The authorized take is incidental to an otherwise lawful activity;

2. The impacts of the authorized take are minimized and fully mitigated;

3. The measures required to minimize and fully mitigate the impacts of the authorized take:

1. Are roughly proportional in extent to the impact of the taking on the

species,

2. Maintain the applicant’s objectives to the greatest extent possible, and

3. May be successfully implemented by the applicant;

4. Adequate funding is provided to implement the required minimization and mitigation measures and to monitor compliance with and the effectiveness of the measures; and

5. Issuance of the permit will not jeopardize the continued existence of a CESA-listed species.

Please note, an incidental take statement should include language specifying that its authorization relies on the action(s) as described in the Biological Opinion (BO). Phrasing that has been successfully included to obtain consistency includes: “This incidental take statement is based upon the proposed action occurring as described in the accompanying biological opinion.” Such language is important in linking the association of a BO and an incidental take statement, so that CDFW may have the opportunity to then authorize take through a CD. Please note, mitigation, financial assurance, and specific language should be incorporated into the BA/BO to ensure consistency with CESA.

Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
City Council (Council) may choose not to award the bid or accept the grant for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. Without the project, many properties within the CRCMWC would be unable to connect to the City of Redding’s (City) water system, and the CRCMWC would be required to continue operating its aging well and water system to serve its customers.

Background/Analysis
The CRCMWC, Public Water System Identification No. CA4500012, was formed in the 1960’s to provide water service to 28 residential parcels within the Cascade Racquet Club Estates Subdivision, located along Forest Hills Drive and Wimbledon Drive near the Sun Oaks Tennis and Fitness Club. The CRCMWC is located within the City limits and is surrounded by the City’s water service area. Many existing CRCMWC customers already have a City water main in the street in front of their homes and one parcel is already connected to the City’s system, but currently there is an approximate 1,200-foot gap in the City water main along Forest Hills Drive in front of several CRCMWC residences.

CRCMWC currently serves its 27 remaining customers via a 350-foot-deep well located at 3375 Forest Hills Drive (west of Sun Oaks Tennis and Fitness Club) and through 2,600 feet of fourinch-diameter asbestos cement water mains. The well and piping were installed in 1964, and have reached the end of their useful service lives. Additionally, the existing system lacks a redundant or auxiliary water source in the event of well failure or a power outage.

Due to the aging infrastructure, lack of redundancy, and limited resources to operate a small utility company, CRCMWC contacted the City to request consolidation into the City’s water system. On November 7, 2023, the Council authorized the City to apply for a State Water Resources Control Board grant to fund the incorporation of all CRCMWC customers into the City’s system. The grant was awarded in August 2024.

This project will construct the water infrastructure necessary to integrate all CRCMWC customers into the City’s system. It will close the existing water main gap along Forest Hills Drive by installing more than 1,200 feet of new eight-inch water main. The project will also include installation of new City service connections to the 27 parcels and the installation of Citystandard fire hydrants in the area. The existing well will be demolished, and the old water piping will be abandoned in place.

Re: 4.11(f)--Award BN No. 5551 Cascade Racquet Club MWC Water Main Page 3 A bid tabulation is attached for bids received and opened on June 12, 2025, for the project construction. The low bid, in the amount of $419,177, was submitted by Zeis Construction of Redding, California. The engineer’s estimate was $522,820. On September 8, 2025, the State Water Resources Control Board provided Final Budget Approval based on the bid from Zeis Construction and authorized the City to award a contract for construction.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Sections 15301 - Existing Facilities and Section 15303- New Construction or conversion of Small Structures. Class 1 exemptions include the minor alteration of existing public structures and facilities. Class 3 exemptions consist of construction and location of new small facilities and equipment, or conversion of existing structures. The existing water system would be extended, and would result in negligible expansion of use. The expansion would consist of newly located small facilities and equipment. The action area has been reviewed and does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other environmental resources, and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Project Title: Cascade Racquet Club Mutual Water Company (CRCMWC) Consolidation Project, J.0.# 5205-25.

Project Location - Specific: Forest Hills Drive & Wimbledon Drive Project Location - City: Redding Project Location - County: ~S~h~as~t~a___________ Description of Project: The City of Redding will consolidate its existing water system with the CRCMWC water system to serve 27 single family residences in the Cascade Racquet Club Estates Subdivision. One residence in this subdivision is currently served by the City's Water Utility. The CRCMWC's well and distribution system was constructed in 1964 and these facilities are coming to the end of their useful service life. The project entails abandoning the CRCMWC's existing distribution system, installing l,200 feet of new 8-inch polyyinyl chloride (PVC) water main in Forest Hills Drive, installing 27 water service connections with automated meter registers, and installing three new fire hydrants. It is expected that the CRCMWC well parcel will be conveyed to private ownership. Consolidation will ensure a safe and reliable potable water supply for customers in the CRCMWC service area.

Upon receipt and review of the Recipient's environmental documents, the State Water Board shall make the appropriate environmental findings before determining whether to approve construction or implementation funding for the Project under this Agreement. Providing approval for such construction or implementation funding is fully discretionary. The State Water Board may require changes in the scope of work or additional Exhibit C

mitigation as a condition to providing construction or implementation funding under this Agreement.

Recipient shall not perform any work subject to CEQA and/or NEPA before the State Water Board completes its environmental review and specifies any changes in scope or additional mitigation that may be required. Proceeding with work subject to CEQA and/or NEPA without approval by the State Water Board shall constitute a breach of a material provision of this Agreement. If this Project includes modification of a river or stream channel, the Recipient must fully mitigate environmental impacts resulting from the modification. The Recipient must provide documentation that the environmental impacts resulting from such modification will be fully mitigated considering all of the impacts of the modification and any mitigation, environmental enhancement, and environmental benefit resulting from the Project, and whether, on balance, any environmental enhancement or benefit equals or exceeds any negative environmental impacts of the Project.

16. FINAL REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST. The Recipient agrees to ensure that its final Reimbursement Request is received by the Division no later than the Final Reimbursement Request Date, unless prior approval has been granted by the Division. If the final Reimbursement Request is not received timely, the undisbursed balance of this Agreement may be deobligated.

17. FRAUD AND MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS. All requests for disbursement must be accurate and signed by the Recipient or its Authorized Representative under penalty of perjury. All costs submitted pursuant to this Agreement must only be for the work or tasks set forth in this Agreement. The Recipient must not submit any invoice containing costs that are ineligible or have been reimbursed from other funding sources unless required and specifically noted as such (i.e., match costs). Any costs for which the Recipient is seeking reimbursement shall not be reimbursed from any other source. Double or multiple billing for time, services, or any other cost is improper and will not be compensated. Any suspected occurrences of fraud, forgery, embezzlement, theft, or any other misuse of public funds may result in suspension of disbursements and, notwithstanding any other section in this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement requiring the immediate repayment of all funds disbursed hereunder. Additionally, the Deputy Director of the Division may request an audit and refer the matter to the Attorney General's Office or the appropriate district attorney's office for criminal prosecution or the imposition of civil liability.

18. FUNDING CONTINGENCY. The State Water Board's disbursement of funds hereunder is contingent on the Recipient's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The State Water Board's obligation to disburse funds is contingent upon the availability of sufficient funds to permit the disbursements provided for herein. If sufficient funds are not available for any reason, including but not limited to failure of the federal or State government to appropriate funds necessary for disbursement of funds, the State Water Board shall not be obligated to make any disbursements to the Recipient under this Agreement. If this Agreement's funding for any fiscal year expires due to reversion or is reduced, substantially delayed, or deleted by the Budget Act, by Executive Order, or by order or action of the Department of Finance, the State Water Board has the option to either cancel this Agreement with no liability accruing to the State Water Board, or offer an amendment to the Recipient to reflect the reduced amount. This provision shall be construed as a condition precedent to the obligation of the State Water Board to make any disbursements under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to provide the Recipient with a right of priority for disbursement over any other entity. If any disbursements due the Recipient under this Agreement are deferred because sufficient funds are unavailable, it is the intention of the State Water Board that such disbursement will be made to the Recipient when sufficient funds do become available, but this intention is not binding.

19. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is governed by and shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

20. RECIPIENT'S SHARE. The Recipient agrees that it will provide for the payment of its full share, if any share is required, of Project Costs and that all costs connected with the Project will be timely paid by the Recipient.

Background/Analysis
The Cascade Racquet Club Mutual Water Company ( CRCMWC), Public Water System Identi cation No. CA4500012, was formed in the 1960s to provide water service to 28 residential parcels along Forest Hills Drive and Wimbledon Drive near the current Sun Oaks Tennis and Fitness Club. Due to the aging water system and lack of resources to operate a small water company, the CRCMWC has been in contact with the City to consolidate into the City' s water system.

Packet Pg. 303 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 11-7-23 (4.11(f)--Award BN No. 5551 Cascade Racquet Club MWC Water Main) Report to Redding City Council November 1, 2023
Re: 4.11( b)-- Consolidation & Water Service Agreement Between CRCMWC and COR Page 2 The CRCMWC is located within the City limit and is surrounded by the City' s water service area. Many of the existing customers of the CRCMWC already have a City water main in the street in front of their homes. The DWSRF grant will finance the consolidation of the CRCMWC into the City' s Water Utility. The construction of 1, 200 linear feet of new water main and 27 new service connections will allow the remaining parcels in the CRCMWC to be connected to the City' s water distribution system. Three ( 3) new fire hydrants will be installed to replace the existing under- sized ` wharf' style hydrants.

University Enterprises, Inc. ( UEI), a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, was awarded a Proposition 1 Technical Assistance grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board ( SWRCB) to provide funding to assist small disadvantaged communities to iinprove drinking water and wastewater systems. In September 2021, the CRCMWC obtained a Technical Assistance Work Plan from UEI and SWRCB to prepare a Construction Application for the preparation of the general, technical, environmental, and fmancial packages, as well as the plans and specifications documents necessary, per State guidelines, to connect CRCMWC to the City' s water system. PACE Engineering, also contracted with UEI, is preparing the general, technical, environmental, and financial packages for the construction application.

Since the new water mains, services, and meters will be part of the City' s water system and should be constructed to City standards and requirements, the City prepared the 90 percent plans and specifications documents for this construction project. The City has a subcontract with UEI and wi11 be reimbursed for the cost of producing the plans and specifications.

If awarded, the City will be the recipient of the consolidation project financing and will bid the construction per our standard Public Works Bid process. Water Service Connection Impact Charges ($ 5, 346 per parcel) will also be paid thru project financing. The estimated value of the DWSRF grant is $ 900, 000. Construction is anticipated to begin in Summer 2024 with completion in 2025.

The agreement and resolution have been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Envir onmental Review
This action is not a project as de ned by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required. The agreement and resolution will a11ow the City, on behalf of the CRCMWC, to apply for financing for the construction of the consolidation project.

Authorize the City Manager to execute a subcontract between University Enterprises, Inc. and the City of Redding for Professional Engineering Services related to the Cascade Racquet Club Mutual Water Company' s consolidation into the City of Redding' s Water Utility.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact. University Enterprises, Inc.

Packet Pg. 314 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 11-7-23 (4.11(f)--Award BN No. 5551 Cascade Racquet Club MWC Water Main) Report to Redding City Council March 28, 2023
Re: 4.11( e)-- Subcontract Between University Enterprises, lnc.and COR Page 2 The CRCMWC is located within the City limit and is surrounded by the City' s water service area. Many of the existing customers of the CRCMWC already have a City water main in the street in front of their homes. Only 1, 200 LF of new water main is needed to connect to the City' s system.

UEI, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, was awarded a Proposition 1 Technical Assistance grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board ( SWRCB) to provide funding to assist small disadvantaged communities to improve drinking water and wastewater systems. In September 2021, the CRCMWC obtained a Technical Assistance Work Plan from UEI and SWRCB to prepare a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund ( DWSRF) Construction Application for the preparation of the general, technical, environmental, and financial packages, as well as the plans and specifications documents necessary, per State guidelines, to connect CRCMWC to the City' s water system. PACE Engineering, also contracted with UEI, is preparing the general, technical, environmental, and financial packages for the construction application. Since the new water mains, services, and meters will be part of the City' s water system and should be constructed to City standards and requirements, the City wi11 prepare the 90% Plans and Specifications documents which is the subject of the attached subcontract.

If the construction application is approved by the SWRCB, the City will apply for a DWSRF grant to finance the construction of the project, including City connection impact fees. There are no funds allocated to the construction of the project at the time of this staff report; in the event the grant is not awarded, the project will not proceed. Staff will return to the Council at a fut ure date to request authorization to apply for the grant funds.

The subcontract has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Envir onmental Review
This action is not a project as de ned by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required. The subcontract will allow the City to provide design and technical study information necessary to ensure environmental clearance as the project progresses.

Except as otherwise provided herein, Contractor' s final invoice must be delivered to UEI within thirty( 30) days after the completion ofthe Services but in no case later than December 29, 2023.

The Parties agree that Services performed during the term of this Subcontract shall be performed under the provisions of this Subcontract and shall not entitle Contractor to any additional compensation. If, during the term of this Subcontract, UEI desires to retain Contractor to perform work or services determined by UEI to be new work or services not covered by this Subcontract, then a separate written agreement for new work or services must be executed by the Parties prior to performance of the new work or services.

Work Plan Title: Drinking Water State Revolving Fund ( DWSRF) Construction Financing Application Assistance Amended Work Plan Submittal Date: hr or i , n October 3, 2022 A. Technical Assistance Details
Water System Description:

The Cascade Racquet Club Mutual Water ( CRC Mutual), PWSID No. CA4500012, is located within the City of Redding ( COR) water system boundaries, at the corner of Forest Hills and Wimbledon streets. The CRC Mutual has 27 connections, all of which are residential. The source of water is a single groundwater well, and the water system includes a 1, 500-gallon pressure tank and a distribution system.

Current and Past Compliance Issues:

The aging water system infrastructure is coming to the end of its useful life. Both the well and 1, 500- gallon pressure tank are 60 years old and are degrading. The system also lacks adequate storage capacity and financial resources required for long-term sustainability. There are no current enforcement actions issued to CRC Mutual.

Need for Technical Assistance:

The CRC Mutual has been in contact with the COR and both are in agreement to consolidate the CRC Mutual into the COR. The COR has already prepared several documents that can assist in the construction application, including 30% Plans, a construction cost estimate and a CEQA Conditional Exemption form.

The scope of the project includes the following task:

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund ( DWSRF) Construction Application — Preparation of the General, Technical, Environmental and Financial Packages, per the State Water Board Division of Financial Assistance ( DFA) guidelines. The content of these four Packages are described on the DFA website and include various engineering, environmental compliance, and related tasks to complete the application.

Other TA Providers:

No other TA providers are currently involved in TA efforts for this system.

Reason for Work Plan Amendment B:

This Work Plan Amendment is for a time extension onlv. The time extension is needed as a result of the lenqth of the neqotiation time on an aqreement between the Citv of Reddinq and UEI, to compensate the Citv for their time associated with developinq the Plans and Specifications, is takinq lonqer than anticipated.
