Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the City Council to execute an agreement with <br />RBF Consulting in an amount not to exceed $384,900 to update the Storm Drain Master Plan, <br />subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />2.

The master plan considers a range of drainage concepts and <br />solutions for the construction of future facilities in adherence to the City's General Plan. <br />Moreover, the Storm Drain Master Plan may be utilized to update financing needs for drainage <br />facilities and other Capital Improvement Program projects. <br />The City's Storm Drain Master Plan was completed in May 1994. The County of Orange has <br />updated its master plan to include storm drains constructed since then, and by incorporating <br />current topography, hydrologic calculations, and rainfall data. The City's Storm Drain Master <br />Plan needs to be updated so that it is also current with the County plan. <br />The Scope of Services for updating the Storm Drain Master Plan includes a review of the existing <br />master plan and as-built plans; preparation of a comprehensive update, including hydrology and <br />hydraulic analysis; as well as mapping of the entire storm drain system. A final study report is <br />required which can be used to qualify for grant funding. <br />20C-1
