STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Attention: Donald F. McIntyre, Interim City Manager
From: Stephen G. Badum, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR
ANAHEIM CHANNEL DEBRIS REMOVAL, PROJECT #995
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications, and authorize Staff
to initiate the bidding process so that a contract may be awarded for the removal of debris
(former Pacific Coast Highway bridge) from Anaheim Bay Channel.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the State budget of FY1999/2000, the City received funding in the amount of $75,000
for the removal of debris from the Anaheim Bay entrance channel. The subject debris is actually
the remains of the former Pacific Coast Highway bridge over the channel. Some years ago when
the bridge was replaced the old bridge was demolished in place and much of the bridge concrete
was left on the banks of the channel. The proposed project will remove the unsightly debris and
restore the natural banks. Native plants such as Eel grass and pickle weed will be planted. The
plans and specifications have been completed by WG Zimmerman Engineering. Upon the
successful bidding process and award of a contract, the project should be completed in February.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are currently available within the City's 2000/01 Capital Improvement program budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the plans and specifications, authorize staff to
initiate the public contract bidding process. (Plans on file with the PW Department)
