We have designed a storm drain for Mission Avenue that will tie into the existing storm drain
outfall near the Mission/Cook intersection. Since Mission Avenue has been closed off at the
Main Street intersection, Mission Avenue now only serves to access two lots. I understand that
you would like to reconstruct Mission Avenue from Cook Avenue up to Main Street.
The reconstructed cross section would consist of a 16' wide gravel surfaced road, crowned to
drain to the north side of the street. A soil berm would be placed along the south side in order to
minimize runoff and erosion potential. Areas outside of the gravel surface would be re-vegetated
with topsoil and seeding to minimize erosion.
The bluff is eroding badly along Mission Avenue due to wind action on the upper portion of the
bluff and water/wave action on the lower part of the bluff. The erosion on the upper part of the
slope can be reduced somewhat if vegetation can be established on the slope however, the bluff
cannot be fully stabilized until the water erosion problem is addressed. As an interim measure,
we will include the Upper slope re-vegetation in the project.
You also would like to have us include the reconstruction of the Main street/Cook Avenue
intersection in the project.
Our original fee for Mission/Cook~rik Hansen Scout Park Paving was not to exceed $7966. The
contract was increased by $2500 for the Mission Avenue Storm Drain. I propose to add the
Mission Avenue reconstruction, the slope re-vegetation and the Main Street/Cook Avenue
intersection reconstruction for an additional fee not to exceed $5500.
We will make these improvements a part of the Mission Avenue/Erik Hansen Scout Park project
bid.
Sincerely,
W ',lson, PE
