The Project includes the installation of decorative <br /> concrete along the slopes near the railroad undercrossing, new security fencing, and a <br /> stormwater treatment device (Exhibit 1). The goal of the project is to improve water <br /> quality and address stormwater pollution via the stabilization of the dirt slopes, <br /> elimination of trespassing and encampments, and installation of a stormwater treatment <br /> device. The project will also enhance the aesthetics of this important gateway to <br /> Downtown Santa Ana. <br /> On December 20, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to EverLevel <br /> Holdings, LLC for the First Street Slope Stabilization Project. The project is currently <br /> under construction and is anticipated to be completed in September 2024. The original <br /> contingency amount of $450,000 was utilized via change order#1 to deal with <br /> unforeseen site conditions, install skate stoppers, widen the sidewalk by 18 inches for <br /> ADA compliance, and facilitate other necessary changes triggered by the sidewalk <br /> widening, such as the installation of new curb and gutter, and improvements to the <br /> anchor wall (Exhibit 2). $625,000 of additional contingency funding is needed to <br /> facilitate potential change orders on the northside slope so it is consistent with the <br /> City Council 17 — 1 7/16/2024 <br />
