DEPT:PW
SUBJECT:2022/23 RIGHT-OF-WAY RESTORATION
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This program is for restoration of the right-of-way areas associated with various Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP) projects. Disturbed right-of-way (ROW) areas are restored using
seed or dormant seed. A list of project locations is attached.
The success of restoration is volatile and appears to depend on the weather at and following
the time of installation. The ROW Restoration program allows the City to bring in one
contractor who specializes in seeding to restore several locations with improved quality. All
locations included within this project, including those added by change order have been
restored. Two change orders have been approved for this contract:
Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $3,080 was approved by staff to address additional
erosion control on slopes.
Change Order No. 2 was approved by the City Manager's office in the deduct amount of
$32,337.42. This change order reflected final field measurements with reduction in the amount
of watering needed to reestablish green spaces.
Funding for the Right-of-Way Restoration program is included annually in the CIP from
multiple operating funds. The table below indicates the funding included in this project from
the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 CIP programs.
