RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refund cash deposit in connection with Encroachment Permit No. PS10-00548 in the amount of
$10,000 to FJS Cable Engineering Inc, 14340 Bolsa Chica Road, Suite G, Westminster,
California 92683.
BACKGROUND:
On October 22, 2010, the Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS 10-00548 to
FJS Cable Engineering (Applicant) on behalf of Team Fishel (Contractor) for the installation of
conduits, manholes, handholes, and a vault within the public right-of-way for Abovenet Inc. The
Encroachment Permit allowed the reconstruction of sidewalk, and repair of all trenches per City
standards. The cash deposit in the amount of $10,000 was received and accepted by the Public
Services Department as a guarantee for the construction of street 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 $10,000 be
released and refunded to FJS Cable Engineering Inc.
