Discussion:
On May 13, 2004, the Redevelopment Agency Board awarded a contract to MSA Consulting for
final civil engineering services for the proposed single-family and senior duplex housing project
on 20 acres of land immediately west and south of Hovley Gardens. The civil engineering
services are almost complete.
As part of the design of the 20-acre affordable housing project, the Agency requested additional
services from MSA for the design of a temporary access road, and for the production of
engineering and construction documents for the removal and replacement of an existing CVWD
irrigation line. The temporary access road will allow for a streamlined flow of traffic for all
construction vehicles during the production of the single-family and senior units. The access
road is designed to run from Merle to the northern most point of the senior villas, allowing for the
simultaneous construction of the villas and the single-family units. The pre-existing irrigation line
runs north/south in close proximity to the temporary access road and lies adjacent to the Portola

Country Club. Due to the advanced age of the irrigation line, CVWD informed the Agency that
movement of construction vehicles along the access road would most likely cause the line to
shatter. The Agency decided to remove and replace the existing line in order to prevent any
possible damage and insure the line's longevity.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 5 to the MSA Consulting contract for the
purpose of completing two necessary components for the construction of the Falcon Crest
single-family homes and the La Rocca Villas senior housing units.
