PS12-00154 FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS AT 2059 HARBOR BLVD, COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA DATE: DECEMBER 19, 2013 FROM: PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION PRESENTATION BY: ERNESTO MUNOZ, PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FARIBA FAZELI, CITY ENGINEER (714) 754-5335 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refund cash deposit in connection with Encroachment Permit No. PS12-00154 in the amount of $26,937, to West Coast Self Storage Group LLC, 4012 148TH St SE Mill Creek, WA 98012. BACKGROUND: The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS12-00154 to Pacific Development, (Contractor), for street improvements within Harbor Boulevard. The Encroachment Permit allowed the construction of three (3) drive approaches, curb and gutter, sidewalk, one (1) street cut and parkway drains as per the approved plan. The cash deposit in the amount of $26,937 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 $26,937 be released and refunded to West Coast Self Storage Group LLC.
