How to resolve AdBlock issue? The council will meet in closed session at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 20, to discuss a threat to public facilities, with the public portion of the meeting to begin at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
On Tuesday Public Works Director Doug Grider will take to the council a proposed bid award for a professional services agreement with an engineering firm for the Library Park seawall replacement design.
The Library Park seawall needs to be replaced due to damage it incurred from flooding and storm wave action in January and February of 2017, as Lake County News has reported.
Grider’s report explained that approval and funding has been obtained to replace the existing concrete seawall with a sheet pile wall placed just to the lakeside of the existing wall, which will allow the existing wall to remain in place.
He said the approved preliminary budget is $522,000. The project is to be funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
“Approximately 525 lineal feet of seawall supporting a concrete promenade and handrail is to be replaced. The existing sidewalk is to be removed to reveal voids. Voids under the existing footings will be backfilled with pumped grout or controlled low strength material,” Grider wrote. “Voids under the sidewalk available to equipment will be backfilled using aggregate base. The top of the existing wall is to be removed.”
Grider said the selected engineering firm will prepare plans and specifications for the construction of the seawall replacement.
He said the city received proposals from two firms, MGE Engineering Inc. and GHD Inc. A bid selection panel reviewed and scored the proposals.
City staff is in negotiations with the top ranked firm, MGE Engineering Inc., and will present a recommendation at the council meeting, Grider said.
In other business, council members will consider adopting a resolution approving the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District and Lakeport Municipal Financing Agency of Lakeport Investment Policy for idle funds as recommended by staff; approve a bid from Redwood Ford not to exceed $32,078.68 for a three-quarter ton service truck for the utilities department; and approve a bid not to exceed $25,975.84 from Matt Mazzei for a small utility pickup.
On the consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the city council’s regular meeting on Nov. 6; the Nov. 14 warrant register; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency in the city of Lakeport; and approval of an amendment to Application 2018-028, with staff recommendations, for additional street closures and the addition of a roller rink and slide for the Dickens Faire to be held Nov. 24, 2018.
