District 126789. Thank you. There is a motion and a second is a public comment on will be must project. Mr. Mayor, we have a president. Yeah, let's let's wait. And why don't we do that? Let's go to the presentation. Well, presentation. For Public Works director. Craig Beck and the deputy director Sean Crumby. This is a pretty fantastic project. By the way. Good evening, Mayor. Members of the council, we do have a short PowerPoint that I'm going to ask Sean to go through in a minute, but we are very excited to progress this project forward. I think most of you I've had an opportunity to talk to you about Long Beach, Mass. But it is something that is, from my perspective, going to be revolutionary for some of our beaches and bottom of the L.A. River water quality. This essentially will treat the western watershed area of the city from water that is in the storm drain that normally gets pumped straight into the L.A. River. We'll we will be able to treat that water before it goes into the river. And what you have before you this evening is the design contracts that will allow us to take this to full construction documents and then get this project bid for construction mass. Sean, to go through the details and and provide you a little bit of an overview of some of the initial architectural renderings from the conceptual design and once it's fully built out some of the project scope. Sean. Good evening. Honorable man and counsel Patrick cited Craig's ex. I'm also excited to be here tonight to present this item for the LBE must so it'll be must. What is it? It's an acronym for the Long Beach Urban Municipal Stormwater Treatment Plant. What the project does, as Craig mentioned, is we're going to do rainwater capture or stormwater capture from 11,000 acres on the western portion of the city. We will clean and treat that water, which up until this point has carried pollutants with it into the river and onto our beaches. The project allows us to comply with our EMS four requirements or our Clean Water Program. We also have the opportunity to create a facility that's inviting, invites people in, has recreational opportunities and educational opportunities for the community. And finally, I think the hope is that the project will clean water to Title 22 standards and allow us to reuse it for irrigation and other purposes throughout the city. So it'll be must. The projects going to be delivered in multiple phases. A master plan was done that highlights the entire project and the needs for the for the project. The graphic that you see in front of you, the area shaded in blue, shows the entire project. What we're here for tonight is design contract that will allow us to deliver the first phase totaling $30 million. That 30 million is comprised of 28 million from the state that has been provided to the city for the sole purpose of cleaning transportation related runoff. So runoff from our streets and and throughout the city and 2 million from the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy that's been provided the city to construct wetlands that provide recreational opportunities. Water storage for the facility. And wildlife habitat in the area. So the entire project, the city has multiple funding applications and requests out to every agency we can possibly come up with. They have influence that drains into this includes state organizations, L.A. County, flood control, multiple cities. So it's our hope and belief that additional funding will be coming that will allow us to do a future expansion. This graphic shows the facility, as is planned for the south of the existing Shumaker Bridge, is a five acre proposed wetland that will provide that will be funded by the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy grant but will provide recreational opportunities and storage for the facility. North of the Shoemaker Bridge is where the water treatment plant will be constructed. What you see there is a graphic representation of what we will build, but there will be a public process that will allow us to flush out esthetics that the community wants to see in the facility going forward . This slide depicts the organizational structure of the project moving forward. Of course, the city of Long Beach is the project lead, but we have a team of consultants that have been compiled and presented to you tonight to help us deliver the project. Cole Consulting has been serving as the program manager up until this point and will have a critical role moving forward. But Stantec and Gillespie, Chapman and Associates are two of the critical members of the team that will be providing the technical design for the project to move forward. So go schedule moving forward. After word tonight, the project will go through design through 2018 with the goal of construction of the facility happening in 2019. There are spending deadlines, however, with the Caltrans funds that have been acquired and the first of those is due this spring. So portions of the project will be moving forward right now. Those projects will include site preparation. They will include preordering of some of the pumps and specialized equipment that will be residing within the facilities. The if the plan is for the complete facility, be built out by the summer of 2020. Thank you, Sean. So I think what you have before you is a project that is really going to help benefit the cleanliness of our water. But one of the things that Sean didn't highlight, and I wanted to mention, it's also an important goal as an education facility. So one of the things that we will be designing into the I'll be mass project is a community engagement where youth from schools or neighborhood residents can kind of come see the wetlands, where we can talk about water quality, where we can talk about the cleanliness of the water going into the L.A. River. And we really value that. We must as a as an educational facility as as well as a functional stormwater treatment facility. So that concludes our report and are available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Yes. Thank you so much for the presentation. And I know you all are very excited about this. Just as much as the Willmore residents are very excited about this. I can see it in your faces and I just know, you know, working with our office, I know we've been telling you about, you know, construction time, construction time . But this is great. I will ask the when is the outreach period going to begin? Thank you for the question. So with the design contract that's being asked to be awarded tonight, there will be a public outreach component that will happen in 2018 that will be built into the design and happen this year and improvements or the design will reflect input from the community. Okay, great. And I know that will connect with the Council office on timelines when that occurs so we can add additional help and outreach as well. And then I love that we will obviously have an educational component, which is, I think so important for this area. And I also want to thank as well Kiko Anderson, because I know he's briefed my office and me personally and I appreciate all of his work as well as Craig and Shawn, your work in this too, and I look forward to seeing this through. This is a huge, huge undertaking for us and I'm glad we're finally there. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Congressman Weiner. Thank you. Councilmember De and I, too, want to add to my excitement to this project. I have been working with General and with Mr. Beck and Mr. Colombian on this project. I had the additional honor of serving on the Riverton Mounds Conservancy, and we were able to get this project through to donate $2 million towards a restoration of wetlands and towards the education component of this project. So it it's really that that to my excitement that we were able to to do that for the for this project and looking forward to having having it in place and seeing all of the wonderful kids going through it and learning something about wetlands and learning about water recycling and restoration. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Pierce. Yes. I also want to congratulate staff for their work on this. And I know this is something we've long talked about. And I think it's really exciting that we have the first phase. And I want to thank you for highlighting the public education component and encourage us hopefully to work with our city partners like the aquarium, Cal State, Long Beach in ensuring that we have a robust educational program and opportunities there. So thank you very much. Very excited. Thank you. There is a motion to seconds in any public comment and I'll be must see none. Please cast your votes. Andrews. Oh. Yes. Machine Nation case.
