RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refund cash deposit in connection with Encroachment Permit No. PS15-00689 in the amount of
$56,336.52 to Walgreens Family of Companies, 106 Wilmot Rd, Deerfield, IL 60015.
BACKGROUND:
The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS15-00689 to Bergman KPRS
(Contractor) for parkway improvements at 1726 Superior Avenue. The Encroachment Permit
allowed for the construction of drive approaches, curb & gutter, sidewalk, utilities installation and
repaving of the street. The cash deposit in the amount of $56,336.52 was received and accepted
by the Public Services Department as a guarantee for the construction of parkway improvements.
ANALYSIS:
All Conditions of Approval for the project and 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 cash deposit. The Costa Mesa
Municipal Code Section 15-32(b) states, "The condition of said bond (or cash deposit) 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 cash deposit 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 cash deposit in the amount of $56,336.52 be released and
refunded to Walgreens Family of Companies (Developer).
