DESCRIPTION:
The City of Dublin and Caltrans entered into a Cooperative Agreement No. 4 -2443 in August
2012, which was subsequently amended in October 2014. In the agreement, the City agreed to
design, construct, and maintain a bioretention basin and storm drain bypass on San Ramon
Road between Shannon Avenue and Silvergate Drive. Caltrans agreed to fund the project,
including the cost of basin maintenance for 20 years.
During project design, Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) embarked on the West
Dublin Recycled Water Project, which included a segment of recycled water main within the
Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. 4.11
limits of the City's Project. City and DSRSD staff worked collaboratively to include a segment of
DSRSD's recycled water main in the City's project, with DSRSD funding their portion of the
construction costs.
On September 1, 2015, City Council awarded the construction contract for CIP No. ST1212, the
San Ramon Road Bypass Storm Drain project (Project). The lowest responsive bid exceeded
the available construction budget: therefore City Council also approved a budget change to add
State Gas Tax and Measure B Sales Tax — Bike & Pedestrian funds to the project budget. At
the time, City staff and Caltrans staff were working on a Cooperative Agreement amendment,
which would increase Caltrans's financial commitment to cover additional consultant costs and
increased construction costs, based on the bids received.
On October 22, 2015, Caltrans staff provided a proposed Cooperative Agreement amendment
that increases Caltrans's funding commitment from $892,000 to $1,100,000 (Attachment 2).
Construction is underway and is planned for completion in early 2016.

Assistant City Manager
Caltrans is required to provide improvements, in conjunction with State highway projects, that
mitigate water quality impacts caused by new construction. Caltrans and the San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) have developed an In -Lieu Water
Quality Program. Under the program, Caltrans may, on State Highway projects where it is
physically or financially impractical to construct water quality measures, instead fund the
construction of offsite water quality improvements that provide an equal or better level of
treatment than would have been required for the State highway project.
The City has previously completed two similar projects under this program- 1) installation of
stormwater treatment measures as part of the Dublin Boulevard/ Dougherty Road Intersection
Project; and 2) Village Parkway Stormwater Treatment Project.
Caltrans informed the City that it was looking for an additional mitigation project for impacts
associated with the 1 -580 Altamont Pass Truck Climbing Lane Project. Caltrans and City staff
developed a project that has been approved by the Regional Board as acceptable mitigation.
Project revenue and costs are included in the 2012 -2013 Fiscal Year under the 2012 -2017 Five -
Year Capital Improvement Program as the San Ramon Road Bypass Storm Drain Project,
Project No. 960028.
The project will consist of installation of a new storm drain line along the west side of San
Ramon Road between Shannon Avenue and Silvergate Drive (Attachment 1). The new line will
divert 10 -acres of runoff from the current 16 -acre watershed for the line. Runoff from the new
line will be directed into a new vegetated treatment pond on the unused street right -of -way just
north of Silvergate Drive. The pond would be dry except during actual rain events. The pond
would provide the treatment area needed by Caltrans for the 1 -580 Altamont Pass project.
The existing storm drain on the east side of San Ramon Road between Shannon Avenue and
Silvergate Drive has numerous blockages due to buildup of calcium carbonate deposits. The
blockages have reduced the capacity in the pipe and, on at least one occasion, resulted in
flooding of the backyard of an adjoining residence. Cleaning of the line does not appear
practical, and replacement would be difficult due to numerous adjoining utilities, including a
1948 PG &E gas transmission line. The new parallel pipe would divert about 60% of the flows
utilizing the existing pipe on the east side of road, offsetting the loss of capacity due to the
calcium carbonate blockages (final design will determine if the amount of diversion can be
decreased). The diversion will eliminate the need for cleaning or repair of the existing pipe in the
near future. Staff is reviewing the potential for installing a filter at the upstream end of the new
line to trap suspended calcium carbonate to avoid buildup of deposits in the new line.
The project will include a trash screen at the pipe outfall, keeping trash out of the pond and
allowing the City to take credit for 10 acres of trash reduction, which will assist the City in
meeting the 40% trash reduction requirement under the State's Municipal Regional Permit for
stormwater. The project will also include a decorative fence around the pond to discourage
trespassing, littering, and dumping, and will provide perimeter landscaping around the fence.
Page 2 of 3
The proposed resolution (Attachment 2) includes the proposed Cooperative Agreement
(Attachment 3). Under the agreement, Caltrans will reimburse the City for design costs (up to
$91,325) and construction, construction management, and administrative overhead costs (up to
$760,675). Caltrans will also provide an upfront payment of $40,000 which is projected to cover
the estimated 20 -year cost of maintaining the improvements. The maintenance costs for the
improvements will be tracked and funded using these special storm drain reserves provided by
the Caltrans Grant. Interest earnings will be allocated to the designated reserves and can also
be used to fund the ongoing maintenance of the improvements.
Design will begin this summer and be completed by the end of the year. Bidding will occur in
early 2013, with construction starting in Spring 2013 and will be completed by Fall 2013.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Residents abutting the treatment pond will be notified of the design process and provided the
opportunity to provide input with regards to the landscaping.
Residents and businesses adjacent to the project will receive noticing as the start of
construction has been scheduled.

Assistant City Manager
The San Ramon Road Bypass Storm Drain Project consists of an installation of a new storm
drain line along the west side of San Ramon Road between Shannon Avenue and Silvergate
Drive. The new line will divert 10 -acres of runoff from the current 16 -acre watershed. The
diverted runoff will flow through a new vegetated bio- retention basin located within the street
Page 1 of 3 ITEM NO. 4.3
right -of -way just north of Silvergate Drive. The basin will remove trash and pollutants from the
runoff and will be dry except during rain events. The basin provides mitigation for the Caltrans 1-
580 Altamont Pass Truck Climbing Lane project, which is scheduled to be complete in early
2016.
The City of Dublin and Caltrans entered into a Cooperative Agreement No. 4 -2443 in August
2012 (Attachment 3). In the Agreement, the City agreed to design, construct, and maintain the
bio- retention basin and Caltrans agreed to fund the project, including the cost of basin
maintenance for twenty (20) years. Subsequently, the City hired consultants to prepare the
construction drawings and to complete the environmental documents.
Per the cooperative agreement, the project design was to be completed by April 2013 and
construction completed by December 2014. The project design was delayed by Staff in spring
2013 in order to seek consultation from California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) staff
regarding potential enhancements to drainage areas upstream of the project site. Due to the
proximity of the bio- retention basin, Staff considered expanding the project to include the
upstream work. However CDFW permitting requirements, timelines, and associated project
costs were deemed too onerous to integrate into the bio- retention basin project.
Subsequently City and Caltrans staff met and agreed to recommend changes to the dates within
the cooperative agreement. The proposed amendment to the agreement calls for project plans
to be complete by December 31, 2014, and for project construction to be complete by
December 31, 2016. Staff intends to bid and construct the project in early 2015.
Environmental Review — Negative Declaration
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with State Guidelines and City
Environmental Regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts
and that environmental documents be prepared. An Initial Study was prepared to determine the
level of environmental review necessary for the project. Based on the analysis in the Initial
Study, it has been determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the
environment; therefore a Negative Declaration was prepared for the project. The Negative
Declaration was circulated for public review between August 20, 2014, and September 9, 2014,
and comments were received from Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD), Alameda
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7 (Zone 7), and the State of
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). None of the comments identified any new or
substantially more adverse environmental effects.
DSRSD commented that the proposed project would not impact the District in providing water or
wastewater services in the City of Dublin. This comment was noted and no response is
required.
Zone 7 questioned the type of rain event (5 -year, 100 -year, or other) the proposed facility is
designed to accommodate. Staff's response is that the proposed bio- retention basin is
designed to treat the high - frequency, low- intensity 0.2 -inch per hour storm. Higher intensity
storms will bypass the bio - retention basin and continue through the underground storm drain
system. Also, the basin is designed with an overflow inlet at the downstream end, with inlet
openings one -foot above the basin invert, which ensures that the basin will not overflow at its
edges during higher intensity rainfall events.
Caltrans commented that the Initial Study states that a California Fish and Wildlife Service
Stream Alteration Agreement may be required, but was not identified in the Biological Resource
Page 2 of 3
section of the Initial Study. Staffs response is that a Streambed Alteration Agreement will not
be required for the project, based upon the biological resource assessment prepared for the
project. Caltrans also asked for text corrections and suggested that impacts to archeological
and paleontological resources be changed from "less than significant impact" to "no impact"
within the Initial Study. These comments were noted and changed by reference in the Initial
Study.
The draft Resolution adopting the Negative Declaration is included as Attachment 2 to this staff
report.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The notice of intent to adopt a Negative Declaration was published in the Valley Times on
August 20, 2014.
