BACKGROUND
During the January and February storms of 2005, the City responded to numerous flood -related
emergencies involving private and public properties, in addition to the routine storm responses.
The City's responses involved removing sediment and debris from under the Lost Canyon Creek
Bridge and along Newhall Creek. Citywide protective measures were taken, including debris
removal along Newhall Creek by the Polynesian Mobile Home Park, and the demolition of two
homes on Fairgate Avenue. At Central Park, the City responded to a disruption of service due to
a damaged water line by installing a temporary line.
Additionally, two segments of unprotected Class I bike trails collapsed along the Santa Clara
River and San Francisquito Creek. Approximately 500 feet of bike and equestrian trail will be
reconstructed at the South Fork Trail, west of McBean Parkway and north of Magic Mountain
Parkway. About 400 feet of bike trail will be reconstructed along the San Francisquito Creek
Trail between Decoro Drive and Copper Hill Drive.
' I �
This contract is for the reconstruction of the trails and stabilization of the stream banks that were
eroded. The soil cement bank protection along the Santa Clara River performed adequately.
However, scouring occurred along the trail path, which was constructed at the edge of the
protected boundaries of the soil cement lining. The damaged trail segment along San
Francisquito Creek did not have any embankment protection. Soil cement bank protection was
constructed along San Francisquito Creek, north and south of the damaged trail, as part of the
East Creek Development. Due to environmental concerns, soil cement bank protection was not
constructed along this portion of damaged trail. The recommended stream bank and bike path
restoration repair scheme at both sites is to place a sufficient amount of clean fill material to
restore the stream bank and base for the bike path, and armor this restored slope with Rock Slope
Protection. The rock will extend down the restored slope to a depth beneath the river bottom to
protect against scouring during high flow rates. The recommended repairs have been accepted by
the California Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Los
Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The City issued a Notice Inviting Bids on May 14, 2006. On June 14, 2006, the City's
Purchasing Division received the following bids for the Trail Repair projects along the Santa
Clara River and San Francisquito Creek:
