City HMB Begins Design of Pilarcitos/Kehoe Watercourse (Storm Water Runoff) Outfall Repair Project To Protect Residents From 100 Year Storm Erosion Events

VIDEO. From the City of Half Moon Bay City Council meeting on Tuesday, May 17th, 2022 at 7:00pm by Zoom.

HMB Mayor, Debbie Ruddock, introduces the agenda item.

Councilmember Rarback challenges the consultant to consider the latest innovations in storm water capture (detention/retention), rather than more concrete.

Mayor Ruddock says that a “Watershed” approach will be necessary for the City to tackle city-wide storm water runoff.

From the Staff Report

Staff Recommendation:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to award and execute a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for the Pilarcitos Avenue/Kehoe Watercourse Outfall Repair Project (CIP No. 1005) to the most qualified and responsive proposer, Schaaf and Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers of Santa Rosa, CA, in the total amount of $217,653

For the Pilarcitos Avenue Outfall Repair Project, the City anticipates a design that will: provide protection for a 100-year storm event; retain the natural features of the watercourse; prevent negative local and system-wide hydrologic effects; be minimally invasive to minimize disturbance, permitting and mitigation requirements; minimize hard treatments such as concrete and riprap; and, utilize soft treatments—such as vegetation and plantings–to the greatest extent feasible.
