REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: ROBERT A. BRADY, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 28, 2012
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CHANGE ORDER 1
BOAT LAUNCH FACILITY IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT NO. 4237
Background
The Environmental Report for the Lake Elsinore Boat Launch Facility Rehabilitation Project
(specifically called the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration) is required to be adopted
by the lead agency, in this case, the City of Lake Elsinore. To mitigate significant
environmental effects, a mitigation monitoring program is put into place to measure air quality
emission and cultural resources. The scope of services requires a biological pre-disturbance
survey, biological resources monitoring during construction activities and archaeological
monitoring during any ground disturbance activities. On April 25, 2011 proposals seeking an
environmental monitoring consultant were sent to HDR Engineering, Inc., LSA Associates,
Inc., and Leighton Consulting with a due date of May 16, 2011.
Discussion
On May 24, 2011, City Council awarded the environmental service contract to HDR
Engineering, Inc., to provide the archaeological and biological monitoring for the construction
phase of the Boat Launch Improvement Project. The HDR Engineering, Inc. proposal
included assumptions on the length of time associated with ground disturbance activities.
Monitoring for these disturbances has exceeded the initially anticipated timeframe. Additional
monitoring is needed for the duration of the construction phase. Staff is requesting a change
order in the amount of $45,000 for HDR Engineering Inc, to cover the remaining mitigation
monitoring costs.
Fiscal Impact
The project budget is $8,292,335.00 funded through Park CIP, RDA Tax Increment, RDA
Bond Issue and a grant from the California Department of Boating and Waterways.
Currently, the project has spent $4,612,010.72 for design, construction surveying,
environmental monitoring, construction activity and construction materials. Staff is requesting
a $45,000 change order to be funded from the project contingency. The current construction
contingency balance is $288,804.
