PS13-00245 FOR PARKWAY IMPROVEMENTS AT 1036 AND 1042 W. 18TH STREET, COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2014 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. PS13-00245 in the amount of $41,135 to MBK Southern California LTD, 4 Plaza Drive, Irvine, CA 92614. BACKGROUND: The Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS13-00245 to Kana Pipeline Inc (Contractor) for the construction of street improvements within W.18'h Street. The Encroachment Permit allowed the construction of (2) drive approaches, sidewalk, curb & gutter and storm drain connections. The cash deposit in the amount of $41,135 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 $41,135 be released and refunded to MBK Southern California, LTD (Developer).
