Body
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
On September 7, 2022, the City Council received the notification of contracted emergency work for a potable water main replacement on Cypress Point Drive and Oakland Hills Drive in accordance with Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Section 3.08.140(A). City Council authorized a one-time appropriation of $884,039 from the Water Utility Fund (570) to the newly created capital improvement project titled Cypress Point Drive and Oakland Hills Drive Potable Water Main Replacement. City Council also ratified the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Augustine General Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $758,218 to replace the existing water main.
ANALYSIS:
In accordance with CMC Section 3.08.140 requirements, a report on the emergency and work performed must be provided for Council review.
At the time of this report, the emergency work is tentatively scheduled to begin on September 19, 2022. The contractor had experienced a material delay with pipeline materials due to the long lead time for such products. The project is expected to take up to eight weeks to complete.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No additional fiscal impacts beyond the cost of repairs approved by 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 is merely to provide an update to the City Council on the contracted emergency work. There is no possibility that the acceptance of this report will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
