SUBJECT: Cooperative Agreement with SCVWD – Calabazas Creek Repair at Padero Court
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Approve the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Saratoga and the Santa Clara Valley
Water District for Stream Bank Erosion and Storm Drain Outfall Repair along Calabazas Creek
at Padero Court and authorize the City Manager to execute the same.
2. Approve attached budget resolution.
REPORT SUMMARY:
At the end of the last rainy season it was discovered that Calabazas Creek had caused extensive erosion
and a landslide at Padero Court. Inspections by City and District staff revealed the slide has also
impacted the City’s storm drain system that outfalls into Calabazas Creek. Staff from both agencies
worked together and came to the conclusion that repairs are required to maintain the creek bank and
storm drain outfall.
As a result of the cooperation, an agreement between the City and the District was developed to perform
the creek bank stabilization and storm drain repair and to share the associated costs. The project cost is
estimated at $127,000. The City’s portion will be 50% of the actual cost of the labor and material up to a
maximum of $50,000.
The District has expertise, equipment and experience performing stream banks repair and agreed to
design, administer and execute the work including the City’s storm drain repair.
It is therefore recommended the Council approves the attached Agreement and budget resolution.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The City shall pay to the District an amount equal to 50% of the actual cost of labor and material used for
the Project up to a maximum of $50,000.
