The project consisted of constructing a new storm drain line, junction structures and catch basins, relocating an existing water main and sewer main, roadway resurfacing, replacement of various concrete improvements, striping, and minor amounts of irrigation and landscaping.

This storm drain effectively eliminated the flooding that formerly occurred on Magnolia Street between Central Avenue and Cannery Street and will help reduce flooding at the intersection of Garden Grove Boulevard and Magnolia during larger rainfall events.

The contractor, Vasilj Inc., has completed the improvements in accordance with the plans, specifications, and other contract documents.

There is no financial impact to the General Fund.  This improvement is included in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Capital Improvement Budget and is funded by Gas Tax and Drainage Fees.

It is recommended that the City Council: 

• Accept Project No. 7414 - Cannery-Imperial Interim Storm Drain Improvements, as complete;

• Authorize the City Manager to execute the Notice of Completion of Public Works Improvement and Work; and 

• Authorize the Finance Director to release the retention payment when appropriate to do so.
