Pleasanton ratifies $2 million professional services agreement for stormwater plan in consent vote
Summary
As part of the Oct. 7 consent calendar the council approved a professional services agreement with Wood Rogers to prepare a stormwater management plan: an asset inventory, condition assessment and recommended operations, maintenance and capital program for stormwater assets.
The Pleasanton City Council on Oct. 7 approved by consent a professional services agreement with Wood Rogers to prepare a stormwater management plan, including an asset inventory, condition assessment and recommended capital and operations programs.
Council Member Gaydos asked staff to describe the scope before the consent vote. Public Works Director Soo Jin Young said the contract will fund a stormwater management plan that includes an asset count and survey of the stormwater system, a condition assessment and a proposed capital improvement plan (CIP), operations and maintenance (O&M) recommendations, and a repair-and-replacement program. The work is intended to identify areas that require improvement to address recurrent flooding and infrastructure needs.
The item was part of the consent calendar (items 1 through 9) that the council approved in one motion. Vice Mayor Nybert moved approval of the full consent calendar; Council Member Iger seconded. The council voted unanimously to adopt the consent items; staff noted supplemental materials were distributed for items 4 and 8.
Council Member Gaydos framed the Wood Rogers contract as related to the broader water and stormwater work in the city, noting local flooding during recent storms. Director Soo Jin Young said the study will identify where improvements, rehabilitation, or added O&M are needed and will produce a report similar to the city's water system management plan.
The professional services agreement covers a multi-year scope of work the council listed on the consent calendar; Gaydos referenced an amount in discussion of roughly $2,000,000 across four years. The consent vote also ratified other routine matters and an appointment item noted later in the meeting; the council later administered oaths to new commission members.
The contract approval via consent does not itself authorize construction; staff characterized the deliverable as a planning and prioritization document that would inform later design and capital project budgeting and scheduling.
