Hollister City Manager BY: Kenneth Joseph, City Engine~r Engineering and Transportation Department ;~ SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND CALLING FOR BIDS FOR THE 2660 EDEN ROAD GRADING AND DIRT DISPOSAL PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 09-593-52-216. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the plans and specifications and call for bids for the subject project. BACKGROUND The site is located at the west end of Eden Road, adjacent to the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). The site was used as an automobile "junk yard" from circa 1950 to circa 1989 and more recently used to stockpile and recycle soil. Currently, the site is entirely covered ~ with stockpiled soil. The soil pile is approximately 400 feet long by 100 feet wide and is 37 feet high. In 2006, the property was acquired by the City to accommodate new facilities as part of the WPCP Rehabilitation Project. To make the property usable, the stockpiled material must be removed and the site graded. As part of the Final Order of Condemnation for the site, $365,130.09 was returned to the City from the State Condemnation Fund to use for cleanup of the dirt and remediation of contamination. If any of these funds remain when work is complete, the City has agreed to forward the remainder to the State for disbursement to the former property owner's heirs. Analysis The subject project will remove approximately 20,000 cubic yards of a combination of weeds, debris, and soil. Soil tests have indicated that a portion of the soil stockpile is acceptable for unrestricted reuse. A portion of that material will be stockpiled for use as part of the WPCP
