To provide funding for this storm drain channel repair, staff is recommending an appropriation in the amount of $1,501,000 from the Storm Drain Fund Depreciation Reserve, a transfer from E. Avenida Cordoba Drainage in the amount of $400,000, and an appropriation of $400,000 from the Disaster Relief Fund into Account No. 059-553-45300- 000-15007.

Summary:

Due to heavy rains of the winter months of 2024, the Prima Deshecha Canada Channel westerly wall failed. Via an emergency contract, the debris was removed and a temporary repair was completed. To minimize additional damage and to restore the channel wall, a bid package was advertised and competitive bids were received on August 6, 2024. 1 ~A ANDA

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Before the City Council is the consideration of awarding a construction contract (Attachment 2) to Bosco Contractors, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $1,886,336, approving a 14% project contingency, for the Prima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) Wall Stabilization and related actions.

Background:

The Pima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) is a major tributary within the City draining an approximate area of 4,470 acres. This reach of the Channel, just upstream of Calle Grande Vista, conveys 3,410 cubic feet per second (cfs) of storm runoff during 100-year storm events.

On February 5, 2024, a portion of the Pima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) wall, just upstream of Calle Grande Vista, failed, resulting in degradation of the retained slope. This failure was due to the heavy rains that the City had previously received. On February 20, 2024, the City Council ratified an emergency construction contract with Diamond Construction & Design for a temporary stabilization of the side Channel slope and to protect the Channel from further deterioration (Attachment 3). The temporary repairs and removal of debris within the failed area were completed on February 12, 2024.

Within the last three years, the City has unfortunately experienced some unexpected storm drain failures (e.g., Cyprus Shore and Los Mares sinkhole) within the City that have drastically impacted the Storm Drain Fund Depreciation Reserve balance. In addition, the loss of funding from the Clean Ocean Fee has reduced fund balance for the maintenance and rehabilitation of projects. This storm drain channel wall repair will be funded by an anticipated California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) property program insurance in the amount of $1,000,000, an appropriation from the Storm Drain Fund Depreciation Reserve, a transfer from E. Avenida Cordoba Drainage, and an appropriation from the Disaster Relief Fund.

Upon completion of a bid package for channel wall repairs by a consultant, staff notified local contractors and advertised the project for competitive bidding on PlanetBids website and in the San Clemente Times. On August 12, 2024, City received two bids, Base Bids ranging from $1,854,336 to $2,180,480, as shown on the table below:

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Based on the lowest Base Bid plus the Alternate Bid, the total estimated project construction cost is summarized below:

Construction Management and Special Inspection $ 100,000 Soils Testing, Inspection and Monitoring 29,990
Survey Monitoring 28,000
Construction Contract 1,886,336
Contingency (14%) 256,674
Total Estimated Construction Cost $2,301,000
As required by state law and City policy, the contractor will be required to provide performance and payment bonds simultaneously with execution of the construction contract. Project plans and specifications are on file in the City Clerk’s office.

RATIFICATION OF AN EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH DIAMOND CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN FOR PRIMA DESHECHA CANADA CHANNEL (FACILITY NO. M01) WALL STABILIZATION AT GRANDE VISTA PROJECT; APPROVING A PROJECT CONTINGENCY; AND APPROVING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $99,585 ..body Fiscal Impact:

A supplemental appropriation in the amount of $99,585 to Account Number 059-553-43420-000- 26001 from the Storm Drain Depreciation Fund is requested for the Prima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) Wall Stabilization at Grande Vista.

Summary:

On February 5, 2024, a portion of the Prima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) channel wall adjacent to Calle Grande Vista between Calle Grande Vista and the Shorecliffs Golf Course failed. See the location map (Attachment 1) for the approximate location of the damaged channel wall.

Before the City Council for consideration is a resolution to ratify an emergency construction contract with Diamond Construction & Design for the Prima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) Wall Stabilization at Grande Vista, in the amount of $77,215, approve a 19% project contingency and approve a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $99,585 to fund the project.

Background:

On February 5, 2024, a portion of the Prima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) channel wall failed. Repairs were unable to be completed due to the continued rainfall and the large amount of runoff through the channel. During this time the slope and nearby residence were monitored.

Staff requested proposals from three contractors, including one local contractor (GCI Construction, Inc.) within the City for the removal of the damaged wall and other debris, the stabilization of the slope and the temporary diversion of the waters within the channel to further protect the slope from added erosion at the base of the slope. All three of these companies have completed previous projects for the City satisfactorily. Staff received two proposals in the amounts of $77,215 and $142,000 from Diamond Construction & Design and Harbor Coating & Restoration, respectively.

Staff reviewed the two proposals and recommended that the City Manager declare an emergency and approve a construction contract with Diamond Construction & Design to complete repairs for 1 Attachment 3
11 Meeting Date: February 20, 2024 Agenda Item: 10F

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
the stabilization of the channel wall. The construction contract has been drafted and signed by Diamond Construction & Design (Attachment 2) and it before the City Council for ratification. The work must be completed before additional precipitation occurs and potentially increases to the deterioration of the channel wall and adjacent slope.

Based on the low bid, the estimated construction cost for this project is as follows:

Construction Administration, Management & Inspection: $ 7,700 Construction Contract: 77,215
Contingency (19%): 14,670
Total Estimated Construction Cost: $ 99,585
As required by the City policy and state law, the Contractor will be required to provide performance and payment bonds simultaneously with execution of the construction contract.

Council Options:
 Adopt Resolution No. 24-26 (Attachment 3) ratifying the Emergency Construction Contract with Diamond Construction & Design, approving a 19% project contingency and approving a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $99,585.
 Continue the Item and direct staff to provide additional information.

Environmental Review/Analysis:

This project was determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it pertains to the repair of an already existing flood control channel under Class 1 of the state CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. A notice of exemption has been filed for this project (See Attachment 4).

Recommended Actions:

Staff Recommendation ..recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 24-26, which will:

1. Make a finding that an emergency existed due to the need for immediate channel and slope stabilization and required immediate action to protect public health and safety, which might not have been possible if delays attributable to the typical public competitive bidding process had been incurred;

2. Declare that the public interest and necessity demanded the immediate expenditure of public funds to safeguard public health;

3. Approve a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $99,585 to Account Number 059-553- 43420-000-26001 from the Storm Drain Depreciation Fund for the Prima Deshecha Canada Channel (Facility No. M01) Wall Stabilization at Grande Vista;

4. Ratify the Construction Contract with Diamond Construction & Design for an amount not to exceed $77,215 for the stabilization of the M01 channel wall and its adjacent slope; and 122
