BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Ana (City) routinely undertakes street improvement projects to enhance pavement quality and roadway safety. These projects generally include asphalt resurfacing and related upgrades within the existing right-of-way. This agreement sets up a ten-year plan to share costs for adjusting Orange County Sanitation District's (OC San) manholes during street improvement projects
OC San owns and maintains approximately 441 manholes within the City limits. As part of pavement resurfacing, these manholes often require elevation adjustments to meet final roadway grade. OC San is responsible for ensuring proper elevation to maintain both traffic safety and sewer system accessibility.
Including OC San's manhole adjustment work within the scope of the City's project will result in improved labor and time efficiency and cost-effectiveness, compared to performing the work separately. Under the agreement, OC San will reimburse the City for the work.
