Common use of PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Clause in Contracts

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION. On June 29, 2004, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District adopted the Sun Valley Watershed Management Plan (SVWMP) and the SVWMP Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). The SVWMP identified 18 Best Management Practice projects that focus on flood protection, increased water conservation, improved water quality, increased habitat restoration, and enhanced recreational opportunities. In recent years, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) has completed construction of two projects from the SVWMP: Tuxford Green Multiuse Project and the Sun Valley Park Drain and Infiltration System Project. Efforts are currently underway for the implementation of a third project from the SVWMP, the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. This project will convert a 46-acre, construction debris landfill into a multipurpose wetlands park. The project will feature a storm drain system and detention pond for stormwater capture, a wetlands area for stormwater treatment, and recreational open space. The treated stormwater runoff will be pumped to existing underground infiltration basins at the adjacent Sun Valley Park for groundwater recharge. The project includes a 4.75-mile storm drain system from Xxxxxxx Street to the detention pond at the wetlands park. In November 2005 the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) adopted the Integrated Resources PEIR, which identifies a proposed recycled water line from the Valley Steam Plant along the same alignment as the storm drain system. The enclosed Agreement will allow for the inclusion of the proposed recycled water line in the design and construction of the storm drain system from Xxxxxxx Street to the wetlands park. The recycled water line infrastructure will convey Title 22 treated water to the wetlands park to be used for irrigation. The adopted PEIR did not consider the recycled water line component of the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. An Addendum to the PEIR was prepared to refine the Project Scope, discuss an alternative storm drain alignment, and include the recycled water line in the project description. Approval of the recommended actions will certify the Addendum to the PEIR. The project name has changed from Strathern Wetlands Park Project to Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. The Park has been dedicated in memory of Xxxx X. Xxxx, an engineer with the City of Los Angeles who lost his life during the 2005 storms in a sink hole on Tujunga Avenue adjacent to Strathern Pit. Moving forward, all documents and communication regarding the project will refer to the project as the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project (a.k.a. Strathern Wetlands Park Project). The purpose of the recommended action is to certify the Addendum to the Final PEIR and to the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, on behalf of the LACFCD, to execute the enclosed Project Partnership Agreement (Agreement No. WR-12-1049) with the LADWP for the inclusion of a recycled water line in the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION. On June 29, 2004, Approval of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District adopted recommended actions will find that the Sun Valley Watershed Management Plan proposed agreements are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (SVWMPCEQA) and will approve and direct the SVWMP Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). The SVWMP identified 18 Best Management Practice projects that focus on flood protection, increased water conservation, improved water quality, increased habitat restoration, and enhanced recreational opportunities. In recent years, Chief Engineer of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) has completed construction or his designee to enter into a new agreement with the Water Replenishment District of two projects from Southern California (WRD), related to the SVWMP: Tuxford Green Multiuse delivery and use of recycled water at the Xxxxxxxxx Gap Barrier Project (DGBP), and the Sun Valley Park Drain and Infiltration System Project. Efforts are currently underway for the implementation a new memorandum of a third project from the SVWMPunderstanding (MOU) with WRD, the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. This project will convert a 46-acre, construction debris landfill into a multipurpose wetlands park. The project will feature a storm drain system and detention pond for stormwater capture, a wetlands area for stormwater treatment, and recreational open space. The treated stormwater runoff will be pumped to existing underground infiltration basins at the adjacent Sun Valley Park for groundwater recharge. The project includes a 4.75-mile storm drain system from Xxxxxxx Street to the detention pond at the wetlands park. In November 2005 the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) adopted the Integrated Resources PEIR, which identifies a proposed recycled water line from the Valley Steam Plant along the same alignment as the storm drain system. The enclosed Agreement will allow for the inclusion of the proposed recycled water line in the design and construction of the storm drain system from Xxxxxxx Street to the wetlands park. The recycled water line infrastructure will convey Title 22 treated water to the wetlands park to be used for irrigation. The adopted PEIR did not consider the recycled water line component of the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. An Addendum to the PEIR was prepared to refine the Project Scope, discuss an alternative storm drain alignment), and include the recycled water line in the project description. Approval of the recommended actions will certify the Addendum to the PEIR. The project name has changed from Strathern Wetlands Park Project to Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. The Park has been dedicated in memory of Xxxx X. Xxxx, an engineer with the City of Los Angeles who lost his life during Bureau of Sanitation (LASAN), establishing the 2005 storms in respective responsibilities of the parties for compliance with regulatory requirements on the use of recycled water at the DGBP. The DGBP is a sink hole on Tujunga Avenue adjacent facility that injects fresh water into the underlying aquifers to Strathern Pitprevent seawater from intruding into and degrading the groundwater basin. Moving forwardThe DGBP is owned, all documents operated, and communication regarding maintained by the project will refer LACFCD. WRD is responsible for the purchase of the water injected into the aquifers and management of the groundwater basin. The proposed agreement with WRD approves the source and quality of Advanced Treated Recycled Water produced by LASAN and delivered to the project barrier by LADWP as another suitable water source that LACFCD may inject into the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project (a.k.a. Strathern Wetlands Park Project)barrier. The purpose of the recommended action is to certify the Addendum to the Final PEIR and to the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, LADWP has delivered recycled water on behalf of WRD for use at the DGBP since 2005, pursuant to an existing agreement between LACFCD, LADWP, and WRD, which will expire on December 31, 2018. The proposed MOU establishes the roles and responsibilities of the LACFCD, LADWP, LASAN, and WRD in regard to execute the enclosed Project Partnership Agreement (Agreement No. WR-12-1049) compliance with the LADWP Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) and Title 22, Water Recycling Requirements (WRRs), and identifies LASAN, LADWP, and LACFCD as Project Sponsors for the inclusion new permit for the use of a recycled water line in at the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park ProjectDGBP.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION. On June 29, 2004, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District adopted the Sun Valley Watershed Management Plan (SVWMP) and the SVWMP Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). The SVWMP identified 18 Best Management Practice projects that focus on flood protection, increased water conservation, improved water quality, increased habitat restoration, and enhanced recreational opportunities. In recent years, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) has completed construction of two projects from the SVWMP: Tuxford Green Multiuse Project and the Sun Valley Park Drain and Infiltration System Project. Efforts are currently underway for the implementation of a third project from the SVWMP, the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. This project recommended architect/engineer services agreement with Kajima will convert a 46-acre, construction debris landfill into a multipurpose wetlands park. The project will feature a storm drain system and detention pond for stormwater capture, a wetlands area for stormwater treatment, and recreational open space. The treated stormwater runoff will be pumped to existing underground infiltration basins at the adjacent Sun Valley Park for groundwater recharge. The project includes a 4.75-mile storm drain system from Xxxxxxx Street to the detention pond at the wetlands park. In November 2005 the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) adopted the Integrated Resources PEIR, which identifies a proposed recycled water line from the Valley Steam Plant along the same alignment as the storm drain system. The enclosed Agreement will allow for the inclusion of the proposed recycled water line in the provide design and construction administration services for the Sheriff's Department Special Enforcement Bureau replacement facility, which will be located at Biscailuz Center. The existing SEB building is located within the East Los Angeles Civic Center and includes SEB's tactical units such as Special Weapons, Emergency Services, and Canine Services Detail. The existing facility does not meet SEB's current space needs, and in emergency situations, helicopters supporting this facility use a nearby community park for landing, presenting a public safety concern. On December 21, 1999, your Board approved a preferred concept plan for the East Los Angeles Civic Center renovation, which requires the SEB relocation. Ten million dollars were initially incorporated in the Capital Project Budget for the relocation. On March 12, 2002, your Board authorized Public Works to execute an agreement with Xxxxx Architects Inc. to prepare an architectural program, a feasibility study, and site assessment analysis of the storm drain system from Xxxxxxx Street to the wetlands parkBiscailuz Center as a potential location for SEB's replacement facility. The recycled water line infrastructure will convey Title 22 treated water architectural program, completed in November 2002, identified program space needs of a 35,000-square-foot new building, interior space layout, and recommended alternative site development and building options to the wetlands park meet projected needs to be used for irrigation2020. The adopted PEIR did study concluded that Biscailuz Center could not consider accommodate SEB's projected 2020 needs within the recycled water line component existing project budget. Xxxxx Architects' assessment of the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project. An Addendum to the PEIR was prepared to refine the Project Scopestructural, discuss an alternative storm drain alignmentmechanical, plumbing, electrical, and include life safety systems of existing buildings at Biscailuz Center for possible reuse by SEB concluded that the recycled water line existing buildings would require substantial improvement. All schemes presented in Xxxxx Architect's report resulted in a construction cost estimate in excess of the initial allocation of $10 million, due to existing site constraints. Alternatively, several options were studied to bring the project description. Approval of the recommended actions will certify the Addendum within budget without reducing SEB's ability to the PEIRfunction. The Sheriff provided program reductions and identified additional site areas vacated by the now closed Biscailuz Drug Recovery Center to meet the current 2002 program space needs. As a result, it was determined that SEB's current 2002 space needs could be accommodated at the site within the project name has changed from Strathern Wetlands Park Project to Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Projectbudget. The Park has been dedicated revised project scope will include a new approximately 23,000-square-foot building which will accommodate administrative functions, training, various details, support staff, and associated support spaces. The existing gymnasium, which will not be renovated as part of this plan, could accommodate bulk storage and team assembly area needs. A shelter structure with fencing will be provided as kennel space for the canines. In addition, refurbishment of an existing helipad and running track on Eastern Avenue was completed in memory of Xxxx X. Xxxx, an engineer with the City of Los Angeles who lost his life during the 2005 storms in a sink hole on Tujunga Avenue adjacent December 2002 for $500,000 to Strathern Pitsupport SEB functions. Moving forward, all documents and communication regarding the project will refer to the project Kajima was selected as the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Project (a.k.a. Strathern Wetlands Park Project)best-qualified firm to perform the architect/engineer design services from a list provided by the Architectural Evaluation Board. The purpose consultant provided a cost proposal to perform these services. The CAO, Sheriff, and Public Works have negotiated the fee for a not to exceed amount of $497,480. Following the recommended action is completion of construction documents, jurisdictional approvals, and an environmental assessment, we plan to certify return to your Board to adopt plans and specifications and advertise for bids to construct the Addendum to the Final PEIR and to the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, on behalf of the LACFCD, to execute the enclosed Project Partnership Agreement (Agreement No. WR-12-1049) with the LADWP for the inclusion of a recycled water line in the Xxxx X. Xxxx Wetlands Park Projectproject.
