RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the attached plans and specifications for the Murray Road Post Mile 5.57 Storm Damage Repair Project; and
2. Direct the Clerk of the Board to advertise the above-mentioned project as required by Section 22037 of the California Public Contract Code, with bids to be opened on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, at 2:00 pm.
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Humboldt County Road Fund (1200); Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”) Emergency Relief Storm Damage Funds
DISCUSSION:
On March 7, 2017, the Governor of the State of California declared a disaster for Humboldt County due to severe winter storms, flooding and mudslides. Murray Road Post Mile 5.57, in the Fieldbrook area of Humboldt County, experienced a sink hole failure which closed one (1) lane of the southbound roadway.
On September 19, 2019, the Humboldt County Department of Public Works (“Public Works”) received FHWA funding approval to proceed with the Murray Road Post Mile 5.57 Storm Damage Repair Project. Public Works subsequently prepared the attached plans and specifications for the project based on a topographic survey of the damaged area. The work proposed in the attached plans and specifications consists of removing trees, installing a detour, installing a concrete culvert, reconstructing the roadway with aggregate base, placing hot mix asphalt and installing sediment and erosion control items.
Accordingly, Public Works recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the attached plans and specifications and advertise the Murray Road Post Mile 5.57 Storm Damage Repair Project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial commitment until the Murray Road Post Mile 5.57 Storm Damage Repair Project is awarded. This project is being funded by FHWA Emergency Relief Funds Advance Construction (88.53 percent) and the Humboldt County Road Fund (11.47 percent). The engineer’s cost estimate for the project is Two Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Two Hundred Sixty Dollars ($229,260.00). The Humboldt County Road Fund will be responsible for Twenty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Six Dollars and Twelve Cents ($26,296.12).
Expenditure appropriations relating to completion of the Murray Road Post Mile 5.57 Storm Damage Repair Project have been included in the approved Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget for Road Fund budget unit 1200-321-2118. As a result, completion of the Murray Road Post Mile 5.57 Storm Damage Repair Project will not impact the Humboldt County General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
The recommended actions support the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
California Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board of Supervisors may choose not to approve the attached plans and specifications for the Murray Road Post Mile 5.57 Storm Damage Repair Project. However, this alternative is not recommended because the project will restore the roadway to pre-disaster conditions using funds that would not otherwise be available to the County of Humboldt.
