Future Projects

Colma Creek Channel Repairs (934)

Scheduled to Start in FY 2022-23

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. 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.

Status as of June 30, 2021

The project has been deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic and continued negotiations with San Mateo County Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency District for shared maintenance costs.

Schedule for FY 2021-22 and Thereafter

The Colma Creek Channel Repair Phase 1 is programmed to take place in FY 2022/23. Phase 2 & 3 will depend on the results of Phase 1 and the availability of funds. Staff will pursue outside funding to assist within offsetting the repair costs.

Impact on Operation

The study will unveil a more precise annual maintenance cost. After repairs are complete, the annual creek maintenance is estimated to cost $12,000-$15,000.

Storm Drain System Assessment and Mapping (972)

Scheduled to Start in FY 2022-23

Project Scope

The project will review and analyze the Town's 11 miles of the Storm Drain System. The process will be to start assessing 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.

Status as of June 30, 2021

The project was deferred due to Covid 19 pandemic and has been rescheduled to begin in FY 2022-23.

Schedule for FY 2021-22 and Thereafter

The Storm Water Drainage Assessment Project will need to be funded through the Capital Reserves on an annual basis. This project is anticipated to start FY 2022-23. Budget $70,000/per year for 3 years starting FY 2022-23.

Impact on Operation

Future costs for repairs or enhancements will be evaluated as part of the assessment and will be budgeted in future operating or capital projects.

Closed Projects

No active projects are scheduled to close by June 30, 2021.
