File Number: 20-124 The District project will remove one source of flooding for the parcels in the Marina Faire and Mulford Gardens neighborhoods, but those parcels will not see a reduction in flood risk until another project is also constructed. The Neptune Drive Shoreline Flood Protection project is a City project to construct a levee and wall adjacent to the Bay near the intersection of Neptune Drive and Marina Boulevard that will complement the District project on the Estudillo Canal such that the 1,100 parcels mentioned above will have a reduced risk of flooding when both projects are constructed. The City intends to ask the impacted properties to vote on an assessment district to fund the Neptune Drive work in late 2020 and if approved, will have the work completed at the same time as the District project on Estudillo Canal is completed. FEMA will need to certify the work before the maps are modified to show reduced risk of flooding for the properties. The City prepared plans for the maintenance of the southern abutment of the Monarch Bay Drive Bridge and after identifying the mutual benefits such as shared tidal control during construction, the District offered to include these plans as a bid alternate to their plans for the Estudillo Canal. If the alternate bid is accepted by the City, the work will be constructed by one contractor. The proposed agreement states that the District will pay the contractor for the work and the City will pay the District for the cost of the construction plus administration of the contract. Alternatively, the City could bid and manage the bridge work separate from the District project. The cost of doing the work separately is estimated to be higher than the cost for the District to include the work in its project. Additionally, the City’s project managers are fully engaged on other projects and if this work were not done by the District, it would potentially be delayed.
