DISCUSSION The Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency) has acquired properties in the Santa Ana Boulevard area for the purpose of enhancing the entryway from the freeway into the downtown, as well as creating new affordable housing opportunities. At this time, the Agency is prepared to enter into a contract to demolish the structures on the following parcels: 501 E. Fifth Street and 507 N. Mortimer Street, 505 E. Fifth Street, 505 and 507 N. Minter Street, 601-603 E. Fifth Street, 615 E. Fifth Street, 621 E. Fifth Street, 508-510 N. Porter Street, 610-612 E. Fifth Street, 620 E. Fifth Street, 712 E. Fifth Street, 720 E. Sixth Street, 714 E. Sixth Street, 710 E. Sixth Street, 617 E. Sixth Street, 613 E. Sixth Street, 609 E. Sixth Street, 611 N. Minter Street, 623 N. Garfield Street, 801 Santa Ana Boulevard and 707 N. Garfield Street (Exhibit 1). A Request for Proposals (RFP) was prepared and made available on the City's website on June 10, 2010. Availability of the document was made known by means of a notice published in the Orange County Register on June 11 and June 12, 2010. It was also made known by means of an email message sent to the seventeen qualified demolition contractors known to be interested in working with the Agency. With the exception of the newly acquired properties at 609, 613, 615 and 617 E. Sixth Street, all of the properties were tested for lead and asbestos prior to the issuance of the RFP, and some of the structures tested positive for these environmental hazards. The RFP requires the contractor to properly remove and dispose of these materials. It also requires the contractor to test for the 3-1 Demolition Contract for Agency Owned Properties July 19, 2010 Page 2 presence of these environmental hazards in the newly acquired structures, and to properly remove and dispose of any materials found. With the exception of the newly acquired properties, the Santa Ana Historic Preservation Society (SAHPS) surveyed these buildings and identified materials to be removed and preserved. In the event that SAHPS is unable to carry out the salvage in a timely manner, contractors were asked to bid on the salvage and the cost is included in the bid amount. Once SAHPS has surveyed the new acquisitions, any additional salvage will be incorporated into the contract by means of a change order. Responsive proposals were received from five qualified firms. All proposals received are summarized in the table below: Company Name Total BidAmount Vizion's West $180,270.00 R.B. Holt $252,893.60 Interior $265,656.00 AMPCO $392,400.00 J & G $394,511.00 The proposal received from Vizion's West was the lowest responsive bid, and the proposed contract (Exhibit 2) incorporates that bid. A contingency of $36,500 for a total contract amount of $216,770 will ensure adequate funding to demolish the buildings, provide for necessary site work and fund any necessary change orders arising from hazardous materials testing, additional historic salvage requests, or from other unforeseen contingencies. CEQA COMPLIANCE The above-described actions of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana are being taken to implement a redevelopment project. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Environmental Impact Report No. 2006-02 was prepared for the proposed redevelopment, including the demolition of the existing structures on properties owned by the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana in the Station District that are the subject of the implementing actions. On June 7, 2010, the City Council adopted a resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report, ("Final EIR"). Both the City Council and Agency Board adopted CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the redevelopment project. All potential significant environmental effects of the implementing actions, together with feasible mitigation measures and alternatives to the proposed redevelopment, were considered in the certified Final EIR. There have been no changes to the project which will result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of any environmental effects of the implementing actions beyond the environmental effects fully evaluated in the Final EIR. The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana also has not received any new information of substantial importance concerning the project nor any evidence of substantial changes in circumstances affecting the project that would show the existence of any new significant 3-2 Demolition Contract for Agency Owned Properties July 19, 2010 Page 3 environmental effects or any substantial increase in the severity of environmental effects caused by the implementing actions beyond the environmental effects fully considered in the Final EIR. The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana therefore finds that all potential significant environmental effects of the described implementing actions, as well as all feasible mitigation measures and alternatives to the implementing actions, have been fully analyzed in the Final EIR and that no additional CEQA review is required for this project." Funds for the demolition are available in the Low and Moderate Housing Set -Aside account (no. 50718830-66220).
