RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Pinehurst Road Sinkhole and Culvert Repair Project (Project) and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Canyon area. [County Project No. 0672-6U6202/Federal Project No. ER-32L0 (517), DCD-CP#18-09] (District II)


DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1(c) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines, and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated Project cost: $660,000. (60% Federal Damage Assessment Funds and 40% Local Road Funds)

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to repair a 72-inch culvert and sinkhole beneath Pinehurst Road that was heavily damaged during the 2017 rainy season. The Project will return the road to satisfactory condition and ensure that storm drainage is conveyed through the culvert. Work will be done during the summer season when the creek is dry or has minimal flow. Construction will take approximately 25 working days. Temporary road closure may be necessary for approximately two weeks; however, advance notification would be provided to surrounding residents identifying potential detours. Emergency vehicles will have access at all times.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
