It is recommended that the City Council consider: (1) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a public works contract, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Crosno Construction Inc. in the contract amount of $2,168,516 for the Russell Reservoir 1A Rehabilitation Project; (2) Authorizing the Public Works Director to approve change orders not to exceed $325,277 over the total contract amount; (3) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with SA Associates in the contract amount of $120,000 for Project Support Services for Russell Reservoir 1A Rehabilitation Project; and (4) Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable. CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act): The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Ordinance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). CEQA Guideline § 15301(c) (Existing Facilities) exempts the operation, repair, maintenance, alteration of existing public or private structures which involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The proposed work will occur entirely within an existing structure. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required.
