By minute motion appropriate $351,308.10, from un-obligated Drainage Facility

Discussion:
At its September 22, 2005 meeting Council awarded Contract No. C24330 to Van Dell &

Inc. of Corona, California in the amount of $319,371.00, plus a 10%

Discussion:
Since the adoption of existing master drainage studies, the City has experienced significant
growth and expansion, especially within the north sphere area. The north sphere boundary
is the area between the east and west city limits and Country Club Drive on the south and
Ramon Road on the north. Along with exponential growth, the City has implemented a new
general plan amendment that changed the characteristic development traits of this northern
area. Therefore, the North Sphere Master Drainage Study is needed and will provide a
comprehensive long-range plan for the development of drainage facilities within the
corporate northern city limits.
