BACKGROUND: The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permits No. PS12-00107, PS12-00119 and PS12-00286 to Associated Developers Concrete Inc. (Contractor) for the construction of street improvements within Santa Ana Avenue and 22nd Street. The Encroachment Permit allowed the construction of two drive approaches, sidewalk, curb and gutter and curb drains. The cash deposit in the amount of $15,971 was received and accepted by the Public Services Department as a guarantee for the construction of street improvements. Also, the Engineering Division required the setting of durable monuments. The cash deposit in the amount of $1,200 was received and accepted by the Public Services Department as a guarantee for the setting of the monuments. 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. All of the required conditions of the Encroachment Permits have been completed by the contractor. Therefore, staff recommends that the cash deposit in the amount of $17,171 be released and refunded to SCEL Properties LLC. - FARIBA FAZELI U ERNE JNOihrector z -,-riclesr D Interim City Engineer Public7E COLLE OGHUE Assistan finance Director DISTRIBUTION: Chief Executive Officer City Attorney City Clerk Staff 2
