BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
During the period from February 1, 2017 through February 23, 2017, severe winter storms, flooding and mudslides caused wide spread damage throughout the State of California. These severe winter storms brought heavy rains and wind gusts up to 83 miles per hour and mudslides to San Benito causing damage to many roads throughout the County.
Lovers Lane Road is operated and maintained by San Benito County. Lovers Lane Road is approximately 17 feet wide and falls in a low area surrounded by farm land and residential properties. During this period, flood and mudslide damage was caused due to a levee breach along Pacheco Creek with standing water for several days in the Lovers Lane Road area.
A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) E-Grants, Subgrant Application was submitted on September 20, 2017. The Notification of Obligation for Public Assistance and CDAA Grant Programs, FEMA-4308-DR-CA, Cal OES ID: 069-00000 by CalOES dated March 27, 2018 was received by the County’s Emergency Services Manager.
The plans and specifications for these projects are now complete and presented for your approval and authorization to advertise for bids. Bids will be due July 12, 2018 and are scheduled to come back to the Board for award on August 21, 2018. Construction is to begin in September and to last three months.
