 City of Hermosa Beach --- 03-09-99PROJECT NO . CIP 97-182 & CIP 97-183, MYRTLE AVENUE AND LOMA DRIVE UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT APPROVAL TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
2. Instruct the City Clerk to post a Notice Inviting Sealed Bids for said project.
Background:
Residents on Myrtle Avenue and Loma Drive have petitioned requesting undergrounding overhead utilities. The City Council has agreed to form the district under the combined proceeding of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, the Debt Limitation Act of 1931 and the newly adopted requirements of Proposition 218. By doing so, the City Council will be able to levy assessments on properties within the district that receive benefits. The City Council at their meeting of January 14, 1997, approved a recommendation to move forward with the process of creating the Underground District.
On January 14, 1997, the City Council authorized staff to hire Berryman & Henigar to provide assessment engineering services for the proposed districts. Prior to engaging Berryman & Henigar, Council approved an agreement between the City and Southern California Edison for the preparation of preliminary design and engineering documents for the districts.
Analysis:
The engineering and construction documents are complete. In order for the Assessment Districts to move forward, firm construction costs must be obtained so that Berryman & Henigar can complete the Preliminary and Final Engineer's Report.
The plans and specifications are available in the office of the Director of Public Works for review.
An updated project schedule is attached for your information. Also attached, are maps indicating the boundaries of the districts.
Fiscal Impact:
The funds will be reimbursed to the City General Fund once the Underground Utility District is established. However, if the Underground Utility District is not established then funds expended from the City General Fund can not be recovered.
