Storm Drain System Assessment and Mapping (972)

Project Scope

The project will review and analyze the Town's 11 miles of the Storm Drain System. The process will begin with starting to assess the current Storm Drainage system by way of internally videotaping the system in its current state. The video will provide several insights; it will unveil any needed repairs and unrecorded blind or illegal connections. The videotaping equipment used to view the interior of the storm drain lines will also have the capabilities of recording the data and allowing the data to be mapped in the Town’s Geographical Information System (GIS). The findings that come through the videotaping process will allow staff to budget for repairs or enhancements to the storm drain system. Only portions of the system will be addressed each year. The project is expected to be a 3-year effort; funding will be requested on an annual basis for the specific scope of work for each year.

Colma Creek Channel Repairs (934)

Scheduled for future (unknown)



Project Scope

Sections of the Colma Creek concrete channel have deteriorated over the years. Because there are different levels of deterioration, a study will need to be performed as Phase 1 of this project. This study will identify, categorize and map the deteriorated areas, estimate costs to repair those areas and identify what outside permits will be required to enter and repair the creek walls and floor. Progress has been made working with The San Mateo County Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency District, also known as OneShoreline, to establish a program for creek repairs has been limited due to the presence of COVID 19. Because the Colma Creek runs through private properties it is the Town's responsiability to first establish "Right of Entry Agreements to enter the creek and eventually easements that will be granted to OneShoreline for creek maintenance and repair when needed. and responsiability. . Phase 2 of the project will be to prepare plans and specifications for the project along with applying for and obtaining all necessary permits to perform the work. Phase 3 will be the preparation of the bid documents, project and construction management, and the repair work.
