Award the bid in the amount of $399,001.50 for the Highway 41 Multi-Purpose Pathway to Papich Construction; and, 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Papich Construction Company, Inc. for the construction of the Highway 41 Multi-Purpose Pathway, for an amount not to exceed $399,001.50; and, 3. Authorize the Public Works Director to file a Notice of Completion upon satisfactory project completion. DISCUSSION: Background: The City received grant funding through the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments to construct a multi-purpose Class I bike and pedestrian path (Path) along Highway 41 and Atascadero Creek. The Path is proposed to be installed from the northwest corner of Portola Road to the Northeast corner of San Gabriel Road (see attachment 2). The path will consist of an eight-foot wide paved surface that winds its way along Atascadero Creek. The Path is “multi-purpose” and designed to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists. This path will connect to the previously constructed San Gabriel Safe Routes to School sidewalk project. The project provides an off highway route for pedestrians and bicyclists. The City has $526,000 in State Transportation Improvement Program grant funding to construct the multi-purpose Path. Additionally, Council previously directed $150,000 in Transportation Enhancement Grant funding for design and construction of this project. Total project funding is $676,000 for project design and construction. Project funding is detailed in the table under “Fiscal Impact” below. ITEM NUMBER: A-3 DATE: 02/10/15 Bidding: The City bid this project twice. The first bid was released in October 2014 and six bids were received in November 2014. The bids were all in excess of the City’s available construction budget. In response to the high bids, staff identified cost reductions so the project could be built within current budget constraints and lower construction costs. The major change was substituting asphalt for concrete paving. The project was rebid in November and bids were opened on December 18 , 2014. The City received six bids. The apparent low bidder is Papich Construction Company (Papich). Papich’s bid is $399,001.50, which is less than the available construction funding. Therefore, staff is recommending approval since the bid is in compliance with City and Caltrans bidding requirements. Conclusion: Papich’s bid is below the available construction funds and complies with the City’s bidding requirements. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Papich Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $399,001.50 for the construction of the Highway 41 Multi-purpose Class I Path Project. FISCAL IMPACT: The Highway 41 Multi-Purpose Class I Path Project contract is funded by State Transportation Improvement Program and Transportation Enhancement Grants that were appropriated within the 2013-2015 City budget.

The area of removal included a problematic cove that historically produced the most odor complaints. In 2014, the City contracted for a larger sediment removal project. The contractor removed over 22,500 cubic yards of sediment from the Lake. The second phase removed sediment from the end of Phase 1, all the way to the dam. Phase 2 was designed to remove as much of the upper sediment as possible. The upper sediment contains most of the nutrients that feed the algae/bacterial blooms during low rainfall years. o Repair Lake Fill Line  COMPLETED: The Lake Fill Line provides Atascadero Lake with a secondary source of water. The City is permitted to take up to 125-acre feet of water from Atascadero Creek to augment the natural runoff that fills the Lake. In the fall of 2014, staff video inspected the entire pipe. Several areas were found to contain ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 02/10/15 ATTACHMENT: 1 sediment and rock.

Adapt Regional Water Quality Control Board Storm Water and Septic Regulations to Fit Atascadero  Storm Water Regulations o Develop new engineering design standards that best fit Atascadero’s needs, and fit business friendly strategy to extent possible .  COMPLETED: As required by the State of California and the RWQCB, the City adopted new stormwater regulations and Post Construction Stormwater Design Standards in early 2014. These new Design Standards require public and private projects to address and maintain historical stormwater infiltration, runoff, and water quality as part of new or redevelopment projects. City staff has strived to implement the newly mandated regulations while ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 02/10/15 ATTACHMENT: 3 maintaining a local, common-sense and business friendly atmosphere by working closely with our local builders and developers to help answer and work through their questions and concerns. o Minimize impact on potential redevelopment opportunities in the Downtown  IN PROGRESS: This is part of the storm water standards. The regulations minimize impacts on redevelopment and include flexible options for landowners to obtain compliance with the new standards. Staff has incorporated exemptions to the extent possible, and offsite mitigation opportunities for alternative compliance. o Develop post-construction maintenance and monitoring strategies that are sustainable  COMPLETED: The approved regulations minimize monitoring and reporting activities, and include flexible options for landowners to obtain compliance with the new standards.  Onsite Waste Water Ordinance o Develop septic design standards that best fit Atascadero’s unique physical setting and needs  COMPLETED: The draft Onsite Wastewater Management Policy (OWMP) was adopted by the State in 2013. The OWMP create a set of statewide standards similar to the standards in the City’s Municipal Code. The adopted OWMP did not change any of the City’s current standards or create new requirements for owners of existing septic systems. The City is currently implementing OWMP Tier 1 requirements. However, the City has the option to submit a Local Agency Management Plan (LAMP) for Central Coast Water Board approval. An approved LAMP would allow the City to permit additional systems such as small mound type systems and have more flexibility in site design and layout. Submittal and approval of a LAMP will require additional staff and implementation time. The extra time and costs are related to LAMP generation and long -term implementation and yearly reporting to the State. o Work with Mutual Water Company to demonstrate to the State the current level of groundwater protection that exists here already  COMPLETED: The Water Company’s testing results, and results from a salts management model co-sponsored by the City and Water Company, indicate that private septic systems are not impacting local groundwater. Therefore, staff plans to use this data as part of a future LAMP submittal to justify the use of the current monitoring system, and show that groundwater resources are protected. o Ongoing monitoring and maintenance strategies should be reasonable and sustainable for the City and the public. ITEM NUMBER: C-1 DATE: 02/10/15 ATTACHMENT: 3  ON-GOING: Staff was successful in insuring that the OWMP did not change monitoring and maintenance strategies for existing or new onsite wastewater systems. However, the City may be able to achieve additional, design and reporting flexibility (OWMP Tier 2 requirements) should the City choose to submit a Local Agency Management Plan (LAMP) to the State. Submittal and approval of a LAMP will require additional staff and implementation time. The extra time and costs are related to LAMP generation and long -term implementation and reporting to the State.  Monitor development/implementation of new Regional Regulations o Remain active on a County and Statewide level to stay abreast of current trends in State regulations  ONGOING: Communicate with State Legislators  The City is a current member of California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) as a Municipal Agency.  The City continues association with Melissa Thorme, at Downy Brand Law Firm.
