Staff Analysis & Recommendation:
The mitigation monitoring and reporting plan (MMRP) for the Eastern Irrigation Water System
Project summarizes the required mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration that reduce construction impacts to a level less than significant. Staff solicited and
received three bids for monitoring services to meet the requirements outlined in the MMRP.
Hamilton Biological Inc. was the low bidder and has performed well on other City projects.
Accordingly`staff recommends that the Public Works and Utilities Director approve a Letter
Agreement with Hamilton Biological Inc. in the amount not to exceed $8,540 to perform Biological
Monitoring Services for this project.
