BACKGROUND
In the mid -1980's, a number of storm drain systems in the City of Santa Clarita were constructed,
inspected, approved, and placed into service. These storm drain systems were constructed to Los
Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) standards, but were never transferred to the
LACFCD.
Although these drainage systems have been in service for a number of years, they have never
received routine maintenance, and have fallen into a general state of disrepair. The LACFCD has
agreed to accept transfer of these drains provided that they are subsequently brought back up to
LACFCD standards.
In return for bond exonerations, the City has received $816,476 from KB Home, Inc. in support
of this effort, and Contract No. M0032-02 was subsequently advertised for bids for this work.
The contract documents specify that work is to be performed on an hourly rate basis, with no
minimum amount of work being guaranteed. The contract documents also provide that work can
be terminated and awarded to the next lowest bidder in the event of non-compliance with
contract document requirements.
