BACKGROUND: On July 14, 2014, the Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS14-00187 to the Contractor for the construction of street improvements within Wilson Street. The Encroachment Permit allowed the construction of a wheelchair ramp, cross gutter, curb and gutter and relocation of traffic signal poles. The Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds in the amounts of $67,350 respectively were received and accepted by the Public Services Department as a guarantee for the construction of the improvements. ANALYSIS: All Conditions of the Encroachment Permit have been met and the work has been completed and accepted by the Public Services Department. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: The alternative to this Council action would be to retain the Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds. Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 15-32 states, "The condition of said bond shall be that the applicant will perform the work authorized by any permit issued pursuant to this chapter in a good and workmanlike manner and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer". These conditions have been met; therefore, retention of the bonds would be in violation of the Municipal Code. FISCAL REVIEW: There is no fiscal impact to the City relative to this item. LEGAL REVIEW: There is no legal review required relative to this item. CONCLUSION: All of the required conditions of the Encroachment Permit have been completed by the contractor. Therefore, staff recommends that the Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds in the amounts of $67,350 each be released to Action Development.
