Agenda Item Brief: Consideration and possible approval of a proposal for 2013 Rock Park Monitoring and Reporting Program with JBR Environmental Consultants, Inc in the amount of $150,535. This monitoring is a requirement of the Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit obtained for the Rock Park and Pioneer Diversion projects. Staff recommends approval.
Background: In order to construct the Rock Park Whitewater Park and Pioneer Diversion Modification projects, numerous permits were required to be obtained. The primary permit was an Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) 404 permit, which mandates annual monitoring over a 5-year period. Based on the requirements of the permit, a Monitoring Plan was prepared for each project. These Plans outline the necessary monitoring on a year-by-year basis to meet the Permit requirements. Rock Park is currently in its 5th year of monitoring while the Pioneer Diversion is in its 4th year. The elements of the Monitoring Plan include fish passage of the constructed structures, aquatic and riparian habitat, structure stability, bedload aggradation, flood flow capacity, benthic macroinvertebrates, bank erosion, and sediment & debris transport through the project site. Cost will vary each year depending on which elements are required for the specified time period. Total cost to perform monitoring for the 2013 monitoring period for both sites is $150,535. JBR has performed the monitoring for Rock Park and Pioneer previously for the City in a very satisfactory manner, and performs similar work on other projects in the region with an excellent working relationship with the regulatory agencies involved.
Analysis: The proposal has been reviewed by Community Services staff for compliance with permitting requirements and approval is recommended.
Alternatives: City Council could award the Proposal as outlined by Staff. 2. City Council could reject the Proposal and provide direction to the City Manager.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve the proposal for 2013 Rock Park Monitoring and Reporting Program with JBR Environmental Consultants, Inc in the amount of $150,535.
