Background :

At the November 24, 1998, City Council Meeting, the City Council authorized staff to submit a joint application to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works for 1996 Proposition "A" Funds for installation of catch basin inlet filters. Subsequently, City Staff submitted a joint application with the cities of Rancho Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. The cities requested grant funds totaling $186,723.75 for the installation of catch basin inlet filters in the cities. Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District approved Prop "A" grant funds for this project totaling $100,000. The City of Redondo Beach later withdrew from the application, leaving $98,750 in grant funds available.

The joint application and the necessary project agreement with the County have been executed. The three cities should now enter into a Cooperative Agreement to clarify how the project will be completed. The design and construction will be completed under one contract. Exhibit A shows how the funds will be distributed. The City of Hermosa Beach, under the grant agreement, is responsible for approximately $8,437.50 in matching funds.

The City of Hermosa Beach, in accordance with Public Contract Code requirements, will competitively bid the actual design and installation of the catch basin inlet filters. The primary function of the catch basin inlet filters is to prevent trash and debris from entering the storm drain prior to discharge to the ocean. The plans and specifications are available in the office of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer for review.

 

Analysis:

Under the terms of the proposed Cooperative Agreement between the remaining three cities, the City of Hermosa Beach will contribute funds as shown in Exhibit A.

Once the cities have concluded the processing of the Cooperative Agreement, the City of Hermosa Beach will move ahead with the selection of the design and installation contractor.

 

Fiscal Impact :

On September 28, 1999, the City Council approved an appropriation of $56,250 from Prop A Fund and $8,438 from the Sewer Fund for CIP 99-306, Installation of Catch Basin Inserts Citywide. Adequate funds have been included in the current fiscal year budget to fund this capital improvement project.
