ORDINANCE: INTRODUCTION: FINAL ADOPTION: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Prop 1 SWGP Agreement No. D1612675 for the Sweetwater River Park Bioretention Project in the amount of $1,344,425. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A TTACHMENTS: 1. Explanation w/ Exhibit 2. Resolution R,sov\U`N 0. r), 31 Explanation On July 8, 2016, staff filed a Proposition 1 Storm Water Grant Program (SWGP) application for the Sweetwater River Park Bioretention Project in the amount of $1,344,425, which included a local match of $149,417, for a total project cost of $1,493,842. The proposed project is located immediately west of the Westfield Plaza Bonita Mall on an approximately 4.3 acre site. The project will be constructed entirely within the City of National City limits and will directly benefit National City residents. The proposed project will provide the following improvements: 1) a community park that will preserve and enhance native vegetation and provide recreation opportunities near the Sweetwater River Bike Path; 2) removal of invasive plant species and restoration of native, drought tolerant vegetation; 3) network of walking paths connecting to the adjacent Sweetwater River Bike Path; 4) bioretention basin that filters storm water runoff from adjacent roads and other properties; 5) bioswales upstream and downstream of the bioretention basin; and 6) native revegetation and biotechnical treatments to reduce erosion and sedimentation build-up and improve the quality of water moving through the site. On December 20, 2016, staff was notified that the City had been approved for a Proposition 1 SWGP in the amount of $1,344,425 for the Sweetwater River Park Bioretention Project. The grant award is conditioned on the successful negotiation of an agreement between the City and the State Water Resources Control Board's Division of Financial Assistance. City Council Resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a grant agreement is required to allow for the use of grant funds. Part of the grant negotiations will include a request to revise the footprint of the park and bioretention areas to allow for development of a hotel on the same parcel. In the event the State does not support this type of modification to the grant, the City Manager will not proceed with executing the grant agreement and staff will return to City Council with a recommendation to reject the grant. The grant requires a local match of $149,417. A portion of the local match, $99,400, will be applied to the cost for preparation of environmental documents, planning, design, engineering, construction management and inspections. This amount will be funded through prior City Council Capital Improvement Program appropriations for Drainage Improvements. The remaining $50,017 will be funded in -kind for City staff project management and administration. Figure 1.
