PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
Authorize the Mayor to Execute an Agreement with the J.W. Design
and Construction, Inc. for Construction of Drainage Improvements
on Gerald Ford Drive and Cook Street
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: May 10, 2007
CONTENTS: Agreement, Exhibit, Vicinity Map
Recommendation:
Authorize the Mayor to Execute an Agreement with the J.W. Design and
Construction, Inc. for Construction of Drainage Improvements on Gerald
Ford Drive and in the Mid -Valley Channel, and appropriate $262,810.00
from unobligated Fund 420 to the project.
Discussion:
As part of the conditions of approval for Parcel Map 31563 (University Center
Professional Park), certain drainage improvements were required. This property is
situated adjacent to the mid -valley channel. The developer is building a multi -million
dollar commercial project on the parcel. Because the developer is actively working in
the area with contractors already mobilized, and there is a known sump condition on
Gerald Ford Drive near the project, Public Works negotiated a price of $262,810.00 for
building drainage infrastructure and making improvements to the mid -valley channel for
the City.
The improvements will collect storm water from Cook Street and Gerald Ford Drive,
conveying the flow into the mid -valley channel. The improvements also allow for
grading within the channel to establish the proper form and capacity. Within the
channel, portions will be compartmentalized, separated by hardened weirs, which allow
for erosion protection and stability.
An agreement has been drafted to allow the project to be constructed as a joint project.
This agreement with J.W. Design and Construction, Inc. defines the roles and funding
responsibilities of each party for the construction of the subject improvements.

A summary of the agreement is as follows:
1. J.W. Design and Construction will be the lead agency for the project.
2. The project will consist of the installation of storm drain infrastructure on
Gerald Ford Drive, and channel improvements in the mid -valley channel.
3. Palm Desert shall be responsible for the cost of the improvements built on

4. After the project is complete, J.W. Design and Construction, Inc. will

The attached agreement was reviewed and approved by our City Attorney. After
execution, the Agreement will be sent to the J.W. Design and Construction for their
approval.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council, by minute motion, authorize the Mayor
to execute the subject Agreement, and appropriate $262,810.00 to the project.
