Re: Adoption of Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Moffatt & Nichol to Provide Design and Permit Services for the Encinal Boat Launch Facility Renovation in an Amount not to Exceed $226,302, Funded by a Grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways
BACKGROUND
On November 3, 2015, the City Council approved the agreement with Moffat and Nichol to provide design and permit services for the Encinal Boat Launch Facility renovation.
The City of Alameda received a $300,000 planning grant from the California State Parks Department, Division of Boating and Waterways, to fund design and apply for required permits for the Encinal Boat Launch Facility renovation.
DISCUSSION
Although Council already approved the agreement with Moffat and Nichol at its regular meeting on November 3, 2015, an adopted resolution is required in order to comply with State Grant guidelines.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total funds awarded by the Division of Boating & Waterways grant is in the amount of $300,000. The Moffatt & Nichol agreement for detailed design is to not exceed $226,302 and includes design and applying for permits to several regional, state and federal agencies. Current project appropriations are sufficient to pay for the cost of the agreement.
MUNICIPAL CODE/POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE
This action does not affect the Alameda Municipal Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Guidelines Sections 15301 (Repair, maintenance and/or minor alteration of an existing facility.) In addition, the Encinal Boat Ramp project will also require permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, BCDC and the Regional Water Quality Board. These permits are designed to ensure appropriate actions are taken during construction to avoid construction impacts to biological and/or water quality resources.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Moffatt & Nichol to provide design and permit services for the Encinal Boat Launch Facility Renovation in an amount not to exceed $226,302, funded by a grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways.
