EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On March 17, 2015, the City entered into a Construction Agreement with Rivendell Land
Company, Inc. (Rivendell), to construct the New Ortega Line, to provide the necessary
system reliability to the Plaza Banderas Hotel; using the existing plans, contracts, and
bids for the City's 15 Pipeline Relocation Project. Per the Agreement, Rivendell has
advanced $640,000 in funds to pay for the New Ortega Line (Attachment 1 ). The work
Includes structural pavement design, modified traffic control, the pipeline itself, and
removal and restoration of roadway structural sections.
City Council Agenda Report

Pa e 2 of 5
Since time was of the essence to complete construction work and coordinate with the
rapidly closing window of the Caltrans Ortega Bridge Project construction schedule, the
City's Contractor -Charles King Company, Inc. ("CKC"), was directed to construct the
New Ortega Line in the bridge and east of the bridge under Section 9, Changes in
Project, of the Construction Contract. The portion west of the bridge is scheduled to be
completed in late August, and early September 2015.
All of the City's contracts for the 15 Pipeline Relocation project now require
amendments, to pay for the work commissioned under this agreement. Staff received
quotes for the additional work from the City's existing consultants and contractor
performing the current pipeline work at the 1-5 project. Staff reviewed these proposals
and found them all to be in conformance with the existing cost for similar work
performed under the current contracts.
Staff recommends the approval of the Second Amendment to the Personal Services
Agreement for Design with Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. (OWE), in the amount of
$32,130, (Attachment 2); approval of the Second Amendment to the Personal Services
Agreement for Construction Management and Inspection with RBF Consulting in the
amount of $35,350 (Attachment 3); approval of the Second Amendment to the
Construction Contract with CKC in the amount of $452,867, (Attachment 4); and,
approval of the Resolution Waving Competitive Bidding, and Making Findings in
Support Thereof (Attachment 5).
DISCUSSION:
As part of the Caltrans Ortega Bridge Widening Project, the City obtained alignments for
two pipelines, and reserved two cells in the Ortega Bridge and roadway for these lines
from Caltrans. The lines are known as the Old Ortega Line, to replace existing system
pipeline, and the New Ortega Line, to meet the development needs to the Plaza
Banderas Hotel. The City negotiated a cooperative arrangement with Caltrans whereby
the City is permitted to construct its Project in conjunction with the Ortega Bridge
Project.
The City's Consulting Engineer, Dexter Wilson, completed the original plans and
specifications for the pipelines in December 2012. These plans need modification for
roadway structural concerns, and traffic control since work on the New Ortega Line west
of the Ortega Bridge is occurring out of sequence with the original construction window
offered by Caltrans for the City's work. The City previously bid the Project and obtained
formal competitive bids for the work. CKC was the successful lowest responsible bidder
submitting a responsive bid in January 2013. The contract with CKC was awarded
without the New Ortega Line as a result of the previous Plaza Banderas Hotel
developer, Stroscher G3, LLC (Stroscher), cancelling their participation in the New
Ortega Line.
Subsequently, Rivendell purchased the property and all other rights of the Plaza
Banderas Hotel from Stroscher. Rivendell was approved by the City Council on June 2,
2015, to be the successor in interest to Stroscher's rights and obligations under the
City Council Agenda Report
August 4, 2015
Pa e 3 of 5
Development Agreement and proposes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the
Development Agreement.
The timing of the re-inclusion of this pipeline has resulted in work which now impacts
completed facilities, requiring additional cost and effort to design, and construct the New
Ortega Line west of the Bridge. Work not covered in the original design and
construction includes: a new traffic control plan, a means of cutting through the newly
placed asphalt and concrete, and restoring its structural integrity. The projected costs
associated with the work are based upon the proposal for services submitted by DWE
and RBF Consulting; and the construction unit costs in the existing contract with CKC.
For items of work not covered in the existing contract, CKC has submitted a cost
proposal, which staff considers reasonable. The amount deposited by Rivendell with
the City covers the projected final expenses for the New Ortega Line.
WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING:
The timeline for construction of the New Ortega Line prior to completion of the Ortega
Bridge Project was insufficient to allow the time required for the normal competitive bid
process. The window for construction east of the bridge had already closed; the
window for construction of the bridge was scheduled to close in April and May.
Delaying the New Ortega Line construction would have resulted in substantial additional
costs due to the need to remove finished work on the Ortega Bridge Project to install the
pipeline and refinishing following installation. Construction of the New Ortega Line after
completion of the Ortega Bridge Project would also negatively impact the City's traveling
public because it would require lane closures while construction is ongoing.
Furthermore, since Rivendell is paying the entire cost of adding the New Ortega Line,
no public monies are being utilized on the New Ortega Line.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22032, the City is required to engage in
formal competitive bidding for any work which is estimated to cost in excess of
$175,000. However, competitive bidding is not required when a public agency
determines it would produce no advantage for the public agency, or the advertising for
bids is futile, undesirable, impractical or impossible (Graydon v. Pasadena
Redevelopment Agency (1980)). Further, the stated public policy purposes served by
competitive bidding are to guard against favoritism, improvidence, extravagance, fraud
and corruption; to prevent the waste of public funds; and to obtain the best economic
result for the public. (Graydon, citing 10 McQuillin, Municipal Corporations (3d ed.) §
29.29.)
Staff received a preliminary cost proposal from CKC for the New Ortega Line in the
amount of $452,867, exceeding the formal bidding threshold under Public Contract
Code section 22032. However, this situation is similar to that in Graydon such that
competitive bidding would be undesirable and impractical and would not produce an
advantage to the public.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Rivendell paid $640,000 in advance to the City as a deposit for the cost of all work.

Pa e 4 of 5
This includes construction costs, general construction overhead, engineering design
costs, construction management costs, staff time, construction inspection, and traffic
control.
The projected costs for the work are shown in the table below:
Payee Reason Description Amount
Traffic control,

The budget is sufficient. Upon completion of the work, as defined by California Civil
Code Section 9200, if any portion of the deposit has not been paid to the Contractor,
their subcontractors, consultants or staff, by the City, such residual deposit shall be
returned to Rivendell.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The City Project, CIP 11805, was found to be statutorily exempt from review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Environmental Administrator signed a
Notice of Exemption and posted it on August 17, 2012. (Attachment 6)

RESOLUTION NO. 15-08-04-XX_
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, WAIVING
COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF
WHEREAS, the City received competitive sealed bids for the 1-5 and Ortega
Highway Interchange Pipeline Relocation Project ("Project") on November 15, 2012;
and
WHEREAS, Charles King Company, Inc. ("CKC"), was the lowest responsible
bidder submitting a responsive bid of $1 ,990, 133; and
WHEREAS, part of the Project included work to install an additional waterline in
the Ortega Bridge ("New Ortega Line") to satisfy fire flow requirements of the Plaza
Banderas Hotel to be paid for by Stroscher G3, LLC ("Stroscher"); and
WHEREAS, after bids had been opened, Stroscher cancelled its plans and its
participation in the New Ortega Line; and
WHEREAS, the contract for construction of the Project ("Contract") was awarded
without the New Ortega Line to CKC; and
WHEREAS, Rivendell Land Development, Inc. ("Rivendell"), purchased all rights
to the Plaza Banderas Hotel from Stroscher and now desires to have the City add the
New Ortega Line to the Contract with CKC; and
WHEREAS, the City entered into an agreement with Rivendell whereby Rivendell
agreed to advance $640,000 to the City to pay for all expenses related to the New
Ortega Line; and
WHEREAS, the Project is being constructed in conjunction with the
reconstruction of the Ortega Bridge by Caltrans ("Ortega Bridge Project"); and
WHEREAS, the window of time to construct the New Ortega Line prior to
completion of the Ortega Bridge Project is too short to allow the City to separately bid
the New Ortega Line; and
WHEREAS, construction of the New Ortega Line after completion of the Ortega
Bridge Project would incur substantial additional costs resulting from removal of finished
work on the Ortega Bridge Project to install the pipeline and refinishing following
installation; and
WHEREAS, construction of the New Ortega Line after completion of the Ortega
Bridge Project would also negatively impact the City's traveling public because it would
entail lane closures while construction is ongoing; and
Page 1 of 3
Attachment 5
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the cost of constructing the New
Ortega Line will amount to $452,867, which was calculated based on the original unit
prices bid by CKC plus additional costs due to changed construction conditions; and
WHEREAS, competitive bidding is not required when the nature of the contract is
such that competitive bidding would be unavailing or would not produce an advantage,
and the advertisement for competitive bids would thus be undesirable, impractical or
impossible (Graydon v. Pasadena Redevelopment Agency ( 1980) 104 Cai.App.3d 631 );
and
WHEREAS, the public policy purpose served by competitive bidding is to guard
against favoritism, improvidence, extravagance, fraud and corruption; to prevent the
waste of public funds; and to obtain the best economic result for the public (Graydon,
citing 10 ~JicQuillin, Municipal Corporations (3d ed.) § 29.29).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San
Juan Capistrano, as follows:
Section 1. The facts set forth in the recitals above are true and correct and
hereby incorporated into the City Council's findings and determinations.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds and determines that because Rivendell
is paying the entire cost of adding the New Ortega Line to the Contract with CKC and
because performing this work at a later date would incur substantial additional costs and
negatively impact the City's traveling public due to the need to lengthen the construction
process, competitive bidding is unavailing and would not produce any public advantage,
and is, therefore, undesirable and impractical.
Section 3. The City Council further finds and determines that since no public
monies are to be utilized on the New Ortega Line, the public policy served by
competitive bidding is not implicated here.
Section 4. The City Council, therefore, waives the requirement of competitive
bidding for the New Ortega Line work and authorizes the New Ortega Line work to be
done by CKC pursuant to an amendment to the Contract.
Section 5. The Mayor is hereby authorized to execute and deliver the
amendment to the Contract with CKC adding the New Ortega Line work following the
City Council's adoption of this Resolution and to do or cause to be done any and all
other acts and things necessary and proper for carrying out this Resolution.
Section 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this
resolution and the same shall thereupon take effect and be in force immediately upon its
adoption.

4. LEAD AGENCY: City of San Juan Capistrano
5. PROJECT MGR.: Eric Bauman P. E., Utilities Engineer
6. PROJECT TITLE: 1-5 and Ortega Hwy Interchange Pipeline Relocation Project
7. DESCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of the relocation of 2,346 If of
pipe in trenched areas, 694 If of pipe in cells of the new 15 bridge, for a total of
3,040 If of 12-inch replacement pipeline; the abandonment of 2,864 If of water
and sewer lines, and the relocation of two sewer system manholes within the
area of potential effect for the "Interstate 5/ State Route 74 (Ortega Highway)
Interchange Improvement Project." Installation of the sewer and water facilities
integrates with the proposed interchange improvement project; currently under
final design by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). By
installing the pipelines in coordination with Caltrans' demolition and grading
operations, and during Caltrans' construction period, the City minimizes direct
impacts of the project and avoids the need to disrupt the street in the future. The
project maintains the existing reliability and quality of service within the existing
water distribution system and sewer system to adequately serve existing users,
and to meet increasing fire safety demands. Paved roadway covers 2,360 If of
the pipeline route and existing parking lots with non-native vegetation cover 680
If of the pipeline outside the road right of way. The pipeline construction depth
ranges from approximately 4 to 5 feet below the existing surface. The project
includes trenching excavation, pipeline installation, backfilling, compacting, and
soil replacement all within the construction zone of the Caltrans interchange
improvement project.
ADMINISTRATIVE DETERMINATION: City staff has completed a preliminary review of
this project in accordance with the City of San Juan Capistrano's Environmental Review
Guidelines and the California Envifonmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on that review,
the staff finds that the proposed project constitutes a ministerial action because it
require an encroachment permit/license agreement which are ministerial actions under
the City's permit processing requirements. Therefore, staff has determined that further
environmental evaluation is not required because:
