Adopt City Council Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Fort Bragg and the Noyo Harbor District Regarding Transfer of Up to 16,000 Cubic Yards of Dredge Sands to the City of Fort Bragg for the Coastal Restoration & Trail Project in Exchange for a Tipping Fee of $10.00 per Cubic Yard for Construction of Phase II of the Fort Bragg Coastal Trail

 

Summary

In January 2014, the Noyo Harbor District and the City of Fort Bragg entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) authorizing the transfer of 14,000 cubic yards of dredge sands to the City’s Fort Bragg Coastal Restoration & Trail Project site. On August 11, 2014, the City Council authorized acceptance of an additional 10,000 cubic yards of dredge sands for the successful completion of the first phase of the Coastal Trail project.  The City has determined that an additional 16,000 cubic yards of dredge sands are necessary for the successful completion of the Project.  The Harbor District has agreed to pay a tipping fee of $10.00 per cubic yard upon transfer of the additional dredge sands to the City of Fort Bragg. The City and the District wish to enter into an MOU for the transfer of the additional dredge sands to the City of Fort Bragg.  The $160,000 in total tipping fees will be used to offset costs associated with spreading the dredge sands, implementing best management practices for stormwater and erosion control, hydro-seeding the material, and constructing a portion of Phase II of the Coastal Trail & Restoration Project.  The City has prepared and certified an Environmental Impact Report and a Subsequent Environmental Impact report for the Project.  The MOU will result in the beneficial reuse of dredge sands for the restoration of the Fort Bragg Coastal Trail Project.
