Title
Consider recommendations regarding Mud Lake Basin Siphon Improvement Project, Phase II; Fourth District, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Statement of Final Quantities for work performed and materials supplied for the Mud Lake Basin Siphon Improvement Project, Phase II by the contractor Raminha Construction, Inc. (a tri-county vendor) in the amount of $359,630.46; and
b) Find that the proposed Mud Lake Basin Siphon Improvement Project, Phase II, consists of minor trenching and backfilling where the surface is restored in order to replace the siphon pipe at an existing facility and that the proposed project is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 14 CCR § 15304 (f) minor alterations to land, and 14 CCR § 15301 (d) existing facilities and that a CEQA Exemption for this project was approved by the Board of Directors and filed by the Clerk of the Board on July 1, 2014, therefore no new exemption is required for the approval of the recommended actions.
