6d <br />~'~Droval of contract Amendment One with LTD Enqineering inc. for engineerina <br />desian modifications for the Bernai property Channel Restoration project. <br />(SR 05:061) <br /> <br /> Rob Wilson, Director of Public Works, and Phil Grubstick, Assistant Director of <br />Public Works/City Engineer, presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> In response to an inquiry by Mr. Brozosky, Mr. Grubstick said staff anticipated <br />that Applied Biosystems would construct a portion of this work with the future <br />development of its campus. Applied Biosystem's expected building phases for future <br />development have not taken place, and subsequently, the anticipated modifications to <br />Sycamore Creek in this area will not be completed. The plans have been prepared and <br />will be addressed at a later time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky believed that the alternate plan that is being used includes a <br />current pipeline that only requires work downstream to handle the extra flow. <br /> <br /> Mr. Grubstick said that was correct. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sullivan asked if the water flows would be a meandering stream or similar to <br />a channel? <br /> <br /> Mr. Grubstick said the water flows would be a meandering stream. Along the <br />meandering stream will be a combined maintenance read as well as a pedestrian hiking <br />path. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked how long the drainage work for the Fairgrounds could be <br />delayed? <br /> <br /> Mr. Grubstick said staff has taken interim steps to improve the drainage. A <br />significant amount of work was done to the open channel along the Bernal property. A <br />new connection was made between this channel and the Fairgrounds ditch, which has <br />alleviated a majority of the backup problems that have occurred coming out of the <br />Fairgrounds. Staff continues to work with the Fairgrounds to make sure that the existing <br />culverts crossing Bernal Avenue have adequate capacity to bring water to that channel. <br />In the past year, staff has cleaned out the roadside ditch along Bernal Avenue as well as <br />the Fairgrounds ditch that extends in the southerly direction. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked if there was a chance of the two lighted baseball fields being <br />flooded? <br /> <br /> Mr. Grubstick said staff would like to work with Mr. Fotheringham to coordinate <br />this work with the design of the Community Park. <br /> <br /> In response to an inquiry by Ms. McGovern, Mr. Grubstick said that the waterway <br />was designed at one point to be a focal or beautification point for the Community Park. <br />Staff wants to make sure that the waterway does not impact the land uses as there is an <br />adequate amount of water that flows out of the Fairgrounds and downtown Pleasanton. <br />He noted that there were several options considered, one of which considered having <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 11 02/15/05 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
