Body
SUMMARY
The City owns, operates, and maintains more than 12,000 sewer manholes. The assessment of approximately 3,300 sewer manholes was completed in Fiscal Year 2013-14. This contract would inspect and evaluate the remaining 8,700 sewer manholes in order to prioritize the Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Capital Improvement Program. Staff recommends that a contract be awarded to Professional Pipe Services for providing manhole inspection and evaluation services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity qualifies for a Class 6 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15306 [Information Collection] of the State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of basic data collection and evaluation of potentially deteriorated manholes throughout the city. Thus, no further environmental review is required at this time. Although environmental review is not required at this time, once the scope of an individual project to be funded has been defined, environmental review will be required and the appropriate environmental determination will be made.
