SUMMARY
The project will provide for drainage improvements on Irvine Boulevard. The plans and
specifications include only Phase I of the project, which involves drainage improvements between
El Modena-lrvine Channel east of Newport Avenue and the intersection of Holt Avenue and Irvine
Boulevard. A Final Negative Declaration has been prepared for the entire project and it has been
determined that there will not be significant impacts pending incorporation of appropriate
mitigation.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 02-101, approving the Final Negative Declaration for the Irvine
Boulevard Storm Drain Project (CIP No. 5024).
2. Adopt Resolution No. 02-102, approving the plans and specifications for the Irvine Boulevard
Storm Drain Project- Phase I (CIP No. 5024), and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to
advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City's FY 2002-2003 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget provides funding for the
construction and contract administration of the Irvine Boulevard Storm Drain Project- Phase I
(CIP No. 5024). The engineer's construction estimate to complete this work is $600,000. Funding
will be provided from a combination of CIP and Redevelopment Agency funds. Pending receipt of
bids, a supplemental appropriation may be needed to fully fund the Phase I construction effort. If
such an appropriation is necessary it will be requested at the time of award.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
A Final Negative Declaration has been prepared for the Irvine Boulevard Storm Drain Project (ClP
No. 5024). The Draft Negative Declaration was circulated for public review from September 5,
2002, to September 25, 2002, and two comment letters were received. These comments, and
responses to the comments, have been included in the Final Negative Declaration. As stated in
the Final Negative Declaration, all potential impacts of the project can be mitigated to a level of
insignificance with appropriate mitigation. All mitigation measures have been incorporated into the
project. A copy of the Final Negative Declaration is available for review in the Public Works
Department.

BACKGROUND
The Irvine Boulevard Storm Drain Project (CIP No. 5024) will be constructed in multiple phases.
Phase I of the improvements includes constructing the inlet structure to the El Modena Irvine
Channel east of Newport Avenue and increasing the drainage capacity in the vicinity of Holt
Avenue. Phase II will continue the improvements along Irvine Boulevard from Holt Avenue to
Prospect Avenue, and Phase III will continue further west along Irvine Boulevard and complete the
drainage capacity enhancements at the SR-55 Freeway underpass. Phases II and III will be
constructed as separate projects at a later date.
Since construction of the Phase I drainage improvements will impact parking and access to the
commercial businesses within the property bounded by Holt Avenue, Irvine Boulevard, and
Newport Avenue, an Agreement with the impacted businesses has been prepared. The
Agreement identifies the City's intentions to accommodate the parking and accessibility needs of
the impacted businesses during Phase I construction and limits these businesses from making
claims against the City. Approval of the Agreement is to be considered by the City Council under
a separate agenda item. The City has obtained an encroachment permit from the Orange County
Flood Control District authorizing the City to construct the proposed improvements within its
boundary.
For the portion of Phase I construction across Newport Avenue, the construction will occur in
sections to minimize disruption of traffic. Similarly, on Irvine Boulevard and at the intersection of
Holt Avenue and Irvine Boulevard, the contractor will be required to maintain a minimum of one
through lane of traffic in each direction during construction. It should be noted that during
construction, traffic in this area will be heavily congested.
The tentative schedule for the project is as follows:
Authorization to advertise for bids .................................................. 11/18/02
First legal advertisement ................................................................ 12/05/02
Second legal advertisement ........................................................... 12/12/02
Bid opening .................................................................................... 01/21/03
Award of contract ........................................................................... 02/03/03
Start construction ........................................................................... 04/16/03

(Assuming no change orders or additional work items)
