The maps <br />indicate that there is a risk that water may enter the neighborhood via a low spot on the San <br />Francisco Bay shoreline near the intersection of Neptune Drive and Marina Boulevard as well as <br />by overtopping of the north levee along the Estudillo Canal. Improvements at both locations are <br />required to reduce the flooding risk. <br />The Alameda County Flood Control District (District), which operates the Estudillo Canal, <br />designed a project to modify the levees along the canal so that the canal, together with the City’s <br />proposed improvements, will protect the adjacent neighborhood from a one-hundred-year flood. <br />The District advertised for construction; however, all bids for the work were rejected in Spring <br />2020 because the bid costs were more than the available budget. The District plans to rebid the <br />project at the end of 2020. If the bid is successful, the work is projected to be completed by the fall <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/28/2020 <br />103
