Hollister, City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, P.E., Director Engineering and Transportation De BY: Kenneth Joseph, P.E., City Eng: Engineering and Transportation SUBJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL tep en L. Hollister City Manager RESOLUTION FOR APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR BAY TRAIL SHORELINE RIPRAP REPAIRS, PROJECT NO. 09-147-42-148. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends appropriation of grant funds in the amount of $306,090 for the subject project. BACKGROUND The severe storms that occurred during the incident period of December 2005 through January 2006 produced heavy rainfall and strong winds. The combination of heavy rainfall, strong winds, high tide and wave action caused erosion of the levee slope and undermined the embankment sections of the levee in the San Leandro Shoreline area that run along the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay and also along an interior levee that separates North Marsh and Bunker Marsh. The roadway on these levees serves as both a segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail and as an emergency egress route for the Heron Bay development. The City of San Leandro declared a local emergency and utilized the services of a contractor to perform the emergency repairs where the damage was most severe. Other damaged areas require detailed design, regulatory permitting, and competitive bidding. The City of San Leandro, through the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES), applied for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding under the Public Assistance Program for the project. FEMA obligated the scope of work by its letter dated August 11, 2008. Due to the requirements associated with the presence of federal endangered species, permit repair work must be constructed only in the period between September and January.
