AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE AND AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT MAJOR MAINTENANCE PROJECTS (HAPPY WAY N, CASA DE LA TORRE CT, BURKSHIRE PL) AND RELATED CEQA EXEMPTION (DISTRICTS: 2 & 4)
Body
OVERVIEW
The San Diego County Flood Control District (FCD) operates and maintains FCD facilities within the unincorporated areas of San Diego County, including approximately 80 open channels, and more than 1,900 storm drain facilities, such as catch basins, underground pipes, and culverts. These facilities convey water to protect homes, businesses, and residences from flooding.
The maintenance of the flood control system and associated facilities is vital for the protection of public health and safety and for keeping our waterways clean and safe. Recurring maintenance minimizes the chance of pipe failures, allows for efficient transport of stormwater, and reduces impacts to the community by extending the useful life of the system. The maintenance activities include regular inspections of the drainage system and annual cleaning to remove sediment, vegetation, and debris. If deficiencies are identified, they are documented in inspection logs and added to a list of flood control facility locations for repair. The list is prioritized based on the severity of the deficiency and the risk to safety, health, and property. The Flood Control major maintenance project list includes projects located throughout all areas of the district. Due to funding constraints, the annual repairs are limited to two to three of the highest priority projects. This year, the three proposed flood control major maintenance projects are located in the communities of Lakeside and Valle De Oro which are included in the Flood Control District Major Maintenance Projects.
