E-4
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: DANIEL BOBADILLA, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
DATE: APRIL 2, 2018
SUBJECT: REVISE FUNDING SOURCE FOR THE ALOSTA AVENUE SUBDRAIN PROJECT
LOCATED BETWEEN ROCKVALE AVENUE AND FIFTH STREET– CIP 66515A
SUMMARY:
On February 5, 2018, the City Council authorized Staff to award the contract to install a subdrain on
Alosta Avenue to All American Asphalt. The project was originally funded with Sewer Funds under
project 66515A. After more thorough consideration, it has been determined that Sewer Funds are not
an allowable expense for this project. The proposed action will change the funding source from Sewer
to Utility Mitigation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following action:
1) Authorize CIP Project 66518A (Alosta Avenue Subdrain Project) to be funded with $57,679 of
Utility Mitigation Fund (Fund 13) previously budgeted under Project 66515A (Sewer Fund-
Fund 34).
DISCUSSION:
A section of distressed pavement has been observed along the eastbound lane of Alosta Avenue just
east of Rockvale Avenue. The roadway shows distress in the form of excessive cracking over an
approximately 100-foot long area, generally within the right (southern) lane. The existing cracks
within the asphalt have water seeping out of them after rainfall events, and localized pumping of the
pavement is observed when traffic passes over these areas. The proposed subdrain installation will
serve to capture excess water in the subgrade and convey flows to a nearby catch basin.
The contract for the work was awarded to All American Asphalt at the February 5, 2018 City Council
meeting. The staff report reflected a carryover project, which was anticipated to be an allowable Sewer
Fund expense. Subsequently, more thorough research has been performed and the project has been
determined to not be an allowable Sewer Fund expense.
APPROVED

FISCAL IMPACT:
The funding source for the project was originally approved with Sewer Funds (Fund 34), which is not
an allowable expense for this project. Staff is requesting authorization to fund the project with Utility
Mitigation Funds (Fund 13). Upon Council approval, Staff will prepare a budget amendment and set
up CIP Project 66518A (Alosta Avenue Subrain) with $57,679 in Utility Mitigation Funds and defund
project 66515A (Alosta Avenue Subrain -Sewer Fund-Fund34).
