MEETING DATE: MARCH 4, 2008
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE SYCAMORE AVENUE STORM DRAIN
FROM SCHOOL LANE TO DEL AMO AVENUE (CIP NO. 5033)
SUMMARY
The plans and specifications for the Sycamore Avenue Storm Drain from School Lane to Del
Amo Avenue (CIP No. 5033) have been prepared and the project is now ready to be bid. A
Notice of Exemption has been recorded with the County of Orange for this project as
categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.
Additionally, the project has been reviewed and determined to be categorically excluded under
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 08-20, approving the plans and
specifications for the Sycamore Avenue Storm Drain from School Lane to Del Amo Avenue
(CIP No. 5033), and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget provides $681,996 for
design and construction of the project. The Engineer's construction estimate for the contract
portion of the work to be bid is $424,062.
DISCUSSION
The proposed project consists of replacement of the existing on-street drainage conveyance
system with the installation of underground storm drain pipes, junction structures, and catch
basins. Upon completion of the underground improvements, the street will be resurfaced.
Since this project involves the replacement and repair of existing facilities with conversion of
small structures, it is categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
requirements. A Notice of Exemption for the subject project has been recorded with the County
of Orange. Since Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding is involved,
this project has also been reviewed and determined to be categorically excluded under the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.

Throughout the year Sycamore Avenue carries large volumes of school related traffic associated
with the three schools with direct access to the street. For this reason the storm drain project
has been scheduled for construction during the summer months, when school related traffic is
lightest. Knowing that A.G. Currie Middle School, Jeane Thorman Elementary School, and St.
Cecilia School would all have some activities during the summer, communication has been on
going with representatives of these schools with regards to the work schedule, the nature of the
work, and detouring that will be required.
The tentative schedule for construction of the project is as follows:
