AGENDA ITEM 4
AGENDA ITEM
Authorization to Amend a Lease and Management Agreement with Peninsula Open Space Trust
for the Hendrys Creek Property located in the Cathedral Oaks Area of Sierra Azul Open Space
Preserve, at 20610 Aldercroft Heights Road, Los Gatos, in unincorporated Santa Clara County
I (Santa Clara County Assessor's Parcel Numbers 558-27-007, 558-27-008, and 558-51-005)

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to amend a Lease and Management Agreement with Peninsula
Open Space Trust for the Hendrys Creek Property.
SUMMARY
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District(District)has entered into a Lease and Management
Agreement(Agreement) with Peninsula Open Space Trust(POST) to manage the Hendrys Creek
property(property)located in the Cathedral Oaks area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.
Concurrently, the District is partnering with the Santa Clara Valley Water District(Water
District)to purchase the property from POST. The actual purchase has been delayed given the
regulatory oversight and requirements associated with this transaction. As a result, an extension
to the 2011 Agreement with POST is needed. Staff is proposing a one year extension to the
Agreement that includes an additional one year option. All other terms of the Agreement remain
status quo.
i
DISCUSSION
On August 24, 2011, the Board of Directors(Board) approved a lease agreement with POST to
manage the 117.14 acre former Carilli property,now known and referred to as the Hendrys
Creek property(property) (R-11-84). The property is located east of the Lexington Reservoir in
the center portion of the Hendrys Creek canyon. The property includes steep forested north and
south facing slopes with numerous tributaries,drainages and springs that flow into Hendrys
Creek.
As part of POST's purchase of the property, the District worked with POST to oversee the
seller's demolition and removal of numerous unpermitted structures, trailers, lean-tos,personal
R-13-77 Page 2
property, and debris from the property during the fall of 2011 and winter of 2012 before portions
of the property were transferred to POST. Upon transfer of these properties to POST, the
District's lease for patrol and management of the properties began. The lease agreement has
provided the District the time to work with the Water District to draft a conservation easement
and long term management plan in accordance the Water District's Multi-Year Stream
Maintenance Program (SMP). The District and Water District are currently working with the
regulatory agencies (Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Fish&Wildlife, and Army
Corps of Engineers)to finalize these transactional documents. It is anticipated that this
partnership purchase will come to the Board during the summer of 2014.
REAL PROPERY COMMITTEE
The Real Property Committee, a standing committee of the Board of Directors,held a public
meeting on the property on October 2, 2012 to familiarize themselves with the Property, the site
clean completed by the seller and the purchase partnership with POST and the Water District
including the conservation easement and long term management plan proposed for conveyance
to the Water District. Two neighbors from the adjacent Lupine Lodge property attended the
meeting. Both the Committee members and the public were supportive of this partnership
proj ect.
USE AND MANAGEMENT
The Preliminary Use and Management Plan approved by the Board as part of the original lease
and management agreement in 2011 remains in effect.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
This project was determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA as part of the Board's
approval of the original lease and management agreement (see report R-I 1-84).
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Amendment to the Lease and Management Agreement provides for a one-year extension of
the lease term until September 19, 2014 to allow the District to continue patrolling and managing
the property as public open space. An option to extend the term for one additional year under the
General Manager's authority is included. There is no lease fee charged to the District.
FISCAL IMPACTS
There is no fiscal impact to the District associated with this proiect.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Property owners adjacent to or surrounding the subject property have been mailed written notice
of the proposed lease and management agreement. Public notice was provided as required by the
Brown Act. No additional notice is required.
R-13-77 Page 3
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval by the District Board of Directors, the General Manager will execute the
Amendment to Lease and Management Agreement and return one original agreement to POST
for its records. The District's Foothills Field Office will continue patrol and management of the
property as part of the Cathedral Oaks Area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. Staff
anticipates returning to the Board a purchase partnership of the property from POST the Water
District during of the summer of 2014.

AGENDA ITEM 5
AGENDA ITEM
Authorization to Award a Contract to Bianchi Construction to Install Concrete Foundations for
the Peters Creek Bridge Replacement Project at Long Ridge Open Space Preserve
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to enter into a contract with Bianchi Construction from San Jose,
CA, for a not-to-exceed amount of$63,600, which includes the bid amount of$52,923.46 and a
20% contingency of$10,600, to install the Peters Creek bridge foundation at Long Ridge Open
Space Preserve.
SUMMARY
A Request for Bids for construction services to install the concrete foundation for the Peters
Creek Bridge Replacement Project was issued on August 6, 2013. One bid proposal was
received and opened on Thursday, August 22, 2013. A second bid was not received on time and
therefore deemed incomplete at the time of the bid opening. Evaluation of the received bid
revealed that Bianchi Construction presented a complete and responsive bid package. Therefore,
staff recommends awarding the contract for installation of the Peters Creek Bridge foundation to
Bianchi Construction for a total not-to-exceed amount of$63,600. The FY2013-14 Budget for
this item,based on the August 2013 engineering estimate, was$30,000; therefore, a mid-year
budget adjustment will be required to cover all the costs associated with the construction work.
DISCUSSION
Background
Peters Creek Bridge is located at Long Ridge Open Space Preserve and is being undermined by
stream bank erosion. Staff plans to replace the bridge with a new, 26-foot long bridge located 55
feet upstream of the current bridge location to avoid potential future erosion. Approximately 125
feet of Peters Creek Trail will also be re-routed by District staff to connect with the new bridge.
The replacement bridge will be constructed in two phases. A contractor will install the concrete
footings and piers during the first phase, this fiscal year, and Skyline field staff will complete the
bridge and trail re-route as part of the second phase,next fiscal year.
R-13-80 Page 2
The Project scope includes the installation of four 18-inch diameter rebar-reinforced concrete
piers, which will be embedded three feet into bedrock approximately 13 feet below grade. Two
concrete footings will be installed on top of the piers on either side of the stream bank. The piers
and footings will be installed outside of the bed and banks of Peters Creek. Construction needs
to be completed by October 1, 2013 to comply with San Mateo County grading regulations.
Contractor Selection
A Request for Bids was issued on August 6, 2013, and was sent to nineteen contractors and five
builders' exchanges. A legal notice was posted in the San Mateo County Times and the San Jose
Mercury News. An Invitation to Bid was also posted on the District website.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held at the Project site on August 13, 2013, and was attended
by four contractors. Sealed bids were due on August 22, 2013, and at the time of the bid
opening, one bid was received on time and subsequently opened with the results as follows:
Bidder Location Total Bid Percent Difference from
Estimate of$30,000
Bianchi Construction San Jose, CA $52,923.46 +76%
A second bid was received late and delivered after the bid opening had commenced and therefore
deemed incomplete. Furthermore, this bid was send via fax, which is not an accepted method of
delivery per the bid submittal instructions.
Bid Analysis
The winning bidder presented a bid that is 76%higher than the original rough estimate. After
discussions with the Project Engineer, staff concludes that this cost differential is due to the site's
remote location,the challenge of accessing the Project site via a narrow trail (no vehicles can be
used to haul material), and the 13-foot deep borings required to install the piers three feet into
bedrock. Moreover, staff has recently experienced higher than anticipated bids on District
projects due to the recent upturn in the construction industry and the increasing lack of
availability of contractors. Staff is reviewing these trends in order to appropriately adjust
District cost-estimating practices. Upon review of the Bid Proposal and confirmation of the
contractor's qualifications, staff recommends awarding the contract to Bianchi Construction
which is the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.
Contingency Amount
Due to the relatively small dollar figure for the project, a 20% contingency is requested to ensure
that there is adequate funding available to address unforeseen site conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Natural Resource FY2013-14 budget contains$35,000 to cover the costs associated with this
work. Savings from the Watershed Protection Program will be applied towards the unbudgeted
project costs. The funds will be reallocated with a mid-year budget adjustment.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
No Board Committee review is required for this portion of the Project.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice of this Agenda Item was provided per the Brown Act. No additional notice is
required.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Staff completed a Notice of Exemption(NOE) for the Project,which was deemed categorically
exempt under Section 15304—Minor Alterations to Land. The NOE was filed with the San
Mateo County Clerk Recorder on June 4, 2013. The District's Board of Directors was notified of
the NOE filing at their July 24, 2013 regular meeting.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval by the Board of Directors,the General Manager will enter into a contract with
Bianchi Construction to construct a bridge foundation as part of the Peters Creek Bridge
Replacement Project. Work is scheduled to begin in September 2013 and will be completed by
October 1, 2013.

AGENDA ITEM 6
AGENDA ITEM
I
Authorization to Award a Contract to Randazzo Enterprises Inc., to Complete the Powell
Demolition Project at Monte Bello Open Space Preserve
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the General Manager to enter into a contract with Randazzo Enterprises Inc., of
Castroville, CA, for a not-to-exceed amount of$331,111, which includes the base bid
amount of$211,310 for demolition, an add alternative of$89,700 for site restoration, and a
10% contingency amount of$30,101, to complete the Powell Demolition Project at Monte
Bello Open Space Preserve.
2. Authorize the General Manager to reallocate a portion of the Real Property Land
Conservation and Property Management funds to cover project costs.
SUMMARY
A Request for Bids for demolition and site restoration services was issued on July 26, 2013.
Three(3) Bid Proposals were received and opened on Monday, August 26, 2013. Evaluation of
the bids revealed that the low bidder, Valley Demolition, presented an incomplete bid package
due to clerical errors. Valley Demolition was subsequently offered the opportunity to withdraw
their bid, which they accepted. Therefore, staff recommends awarding the contract to complete
the Powell Demolition Project(Project)to the lowest responsive bidder, Randazzo Enterprises
Inc., for a total not-to-exceed amount of$331,111. To fund this work, staff seeks Board
authorization to shift$145,000 from the Land Conservation and Property Management funds
into Demolition within the Real Property Budget.
DISCUSSION
Background
At the October 13 2010 regular meeting, the Board approved the purchase of the 33.5-acre
Powell property R-10-95 and on March 9 2011 the Board approved the purchase of the
o p p Y( ), � PP
adjoining 54.12-acre Powell Trust property situated along Stevens C an on Road
ad (R-11-34
)•
Both properties were made as additions to Monte Bello Open Space Preserve.
R-13-82 Page 2
Existing infrastructure at these two properties include two single-family homes, four small
cabins, various sheds/outbuildings, and a number of debris piles. All structures were constructed
in the 1970s and have no historical significance. Most of the construction was performed
without permits, and an onsite inspection indicates that none of the structures meet County
building code requirements. The houses and cabins once served as rental units. All structures
were vacant at the time of purchase, and all electrical services have been disconnected.
The Preliminary Use and Management Plan approved by the Board in conjunction with the 2010
and 2011 purchases called for: (1) securing all structures until demolition is undertaken at a
future date; (2) testing for any asbestos-containing material or lead-based paint prior to
demolition; and (3) removing all property structures, improvements, and associated
infrastructure. The Powell Demolition Project also includes remediation of hazardous materials,
and site restoration of disturbed areas.
Contractor Selection
A Request for Bids was issued on July 26, 2013, and was sent to contractors, subcontractors and
consultants who had requested to be notified of the project, as well as to five builders'
exchanges. Legal notices were posted in the San Jose Mercury News and San Mateo County
Times. An Invitation to Bid was also posted on the District website.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site walk was held at the Project site on August 7, 2013 and
was attended by sixteen contractors. Sealed bids were due on August 26, 2013, and three bids
were received and opened with the results as follows:
Table 1: Remediation and Demolition Base Bid

Bidder Location Total Bid*
1. Valley Demolition San Jose, CA $59,200
2. Randazzo Enterprises Castroville, CA $89,700
3. Parc Livermore, CA $108,000
*Note:no comparative engineer's estimate is provided for site restoration work since this
element of the project was added to the scope of work after the cost estimate was prepared.
Bid Analysis
A demolition consultant was hired by the District to develop a cost estimate for the demolition
work. The demolition of all structures and the abatement of all hazardous material was estimated
at $215,000. No comparative engineer's estimate is provided for the site restoration work since
this element of the project was added to the scope of work after the cost estimate was prepared.
Staff appended the site restoration work to the project for economy of scale since heavy
equipment will already be mobilized onsite. Site restoration includes improvements and
upgrades to the drainage of the main access road, re-contouring and re-vegetation of the graded
ply g g g
building pads, and the abandonment and restoration of internal roads. The site restoration work
was bid as an additive alternative to provide flexibility in awarding the contract and managing
R-13-82 Page 3
the project budget. A cost breakdown and unit pricing were required for each bid to facilitate a
detailed evaluation of the bids.
Upon review of the bid proposals and the contractors' relevant experience and qualifications,
staff recommends awarding the contract to Randazzo Enterprises Inc., which is the lowest
responsible and responsive bidder. Although Valley Demolition submitted a lower bid, this bid
proposal was deemed incomplete due to clerical errors, was withdrawn by Valley Demolition,
and therefore, removed from further consideration
Contingency Amount
A 10% contingency amount is requested for this Project due to the potential for unforeseen
conditions that could be encountered during execution of the work. Although representative
sampling was completed, there is the potential that additional hazardous materials beyond those
already known may be encountered during demolition and ground disturbance activities. If
additional hazardous materials are found, these materials will require appropriate abatement
activities, which may result in additional cost and time to complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The District's FY2013-14 Real Property Budget includes $221,800 for all demolition projects,
including the Powell and Lobner properties. The total Project budget needed for the hazardous
material abatement, demolition, site restoration, contingency allowance, and permits is estimated
to be $366,747. Staff recommends shifting money from the following Real Property accounts to
fund the Project as follows:
Table 3: Proposed Bud eta Shifts
Budget Account Proposed Total Shift to
Demolltion Account
Land Conservation: Miscellaneous Site Acquisition Expenses $25,000
Land Conservation: Resource Management $45,000
Property Management: Demolition $75,000
Total $145,000

Total $366,800
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
No Board Committee review is required for this portion of the Project.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice of this Agenda Item was provided per the Brown Act. Also, adjoining property
owners have been mailed a copy of the agenda for this public meeting. No additional notice is
required.
R-13-82 Page 4
CEQA COMPLIANCE
On October 13, 2010 (R-10-95) and March 11, 2011 (R-11-34), the Board determined that the
demolition of all structures and site restoration at the former Powell and Powell Trust properties
was categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA).
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval by the Board of Directors, the General Manager will enter into a contract with
Randazzo Enterprises Inc., to complete demolition of all structures and site restoration work.
Activation of the contract is subject to the contractor meeting all District requirements, including
required insurance and bonding. The Project is anticipated to begin in late September 2013 and
be completed by early November 2013.

AGENDA ITEM 7
AGENDA ITEM
Authorization to Award a Contract to R&M Paving, General Engineering Contractor for
Construction Services for the Rancho San Antonio Road Repair Project(Mora Trail) at Rancho
San Antonio Open Space Preserve.
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to enter into a contract with R&M Paving for a not-to-exceed
amount of$115,170, which includes the bid amount of$104,700 and a 10%contingency of
$10,470,to complete road repairs and paving at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve.
SUMMARY
A Request for Bids for construction services was issued on August 5, 2013. Six bid Proposals
were received and opened on Friday August 23, 2013. Evaluation of the bids revealed that the
low bidder, R&M Paving,presented a complete and responsive bid package. Therefore, staff
recommends awarding the contract for construction services for the Rancho San Antonio Road
Repair to R&M Paving for a total not to exceed amount of$104,700.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Rancho San Antonio Road Repair Project is intended to repair and pave the Mora Trail,
which is approximately.6 miles long from the base of the Annex driveway to gate RS 10 at the
end of Mora Road in the town of Los Altos Hills. The Mora Trail has an oil and chip seal
surface over compacted base rock, which is beginning to fail and disintegrate as a result of
vehicle traffic from Deer Hollow Farm, District staff, and residents that are permitted to drive the
road, combined with the steep grade of the road. The trail also has regular, daily foot traffic
from walkers and hikers who access the preserve from Los Altos Hills.
The Mora Trail has been resurfaced twice since 2007 using oil and chip seal, which is an
inexpensive method of surfacing the roadway that only lasts a few years before it begins to
degrade. District staff have met with several contractors to discuss the trail's failure and
obtained their recommendations for a longer lasting surface. As a result, it is recommended that
the District pave the Mora Trail with asphalt,which provides a more durable solution.
R-13-83 Page 2
Contractor Selection
The Request for Bids was issued on August 5,2013 and was sent to four(4)contractors and five
(5)builders' exchanges. A legal notice was posted in the San Jose Mercury News and San
Francisco Chronicle. The Invitation to Bid was also posted on the District website.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held at the Project site on August 16, 2013, and was attended
by eight(8)contractors. Sealed bids were due on August 23, 2013. Six(6)bids were received
and opened with the results as follows:
Bidder Location Total Base %Difference from
Bid Estimate of$80,000
1. R&M Paving Milpitas,CA $104,700 31%
2. Tri Valley Sunol,CA $113,710 42%

3. Bay Area Asphalt San Jose,CA $131,932 65%
4. Silicon Valley San Jose,CA $146,404 83%
Paying
AsphaltInc. Surfacing
5. Milpitas,CA $149,000 86%
6. O'Grady Paving Mountain View,CA $152,000 90%
Bid Analysis
This project was estimated and budgeted at $80,000. The low-bid was 31% higher than this
estimate. After discussions with the paving contractor, staff determined that this low bid was
higher than the original estimate due to increased cost in transportation, materials, and labor.
Staff has recently experienced higher than anticipated bids on District projects due to the recent
upturn in the construction industry and the increasing lack of availability of contractors. Staff is
reviewing these trends in order to appropriately adjust District cost-estimating practices.
Upon review of the Bid Proposals and confirming the contractors'qualifications, staff
recommends awarding the contract to R&M Paving, the lowest responsible and responsive
bidder.
Contingency Amount
A 10% contingency($10,470) is requested to ensure that there is adequate funding available to
address unforeseen site conditions,
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2013-2014 Operations Department Action Plan Budget will require$35,170 in
additional funding(which includes the contingency funding)due to the higher than anticipated
cost for this project. The project budget will be augmented with funding from the budget for
demolition of structures. This funding transfer may require staff to return to the Board for a mid-
year budget adjustment for future demolition of structures projects.
R-13-83 Page 3
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
No Board Committee review is required for this project.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice of this Agenda Item was provided per the Brown Act. No additional notice is
required.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Routine maintenance and repair of an existing roadway within the preserve involving no
expansion of an existing use is categorically exempt from CEQA(CEQA Guidelines section
15301(c), Existing Facilities).
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval by the Board of Directors, the General Manager will be authorized to enter into a
contract with R&M Paving to perform construction services for the Rancho San Antonio Road
Repair Project. Activation of the contract is subject to the contractor meeting all District
requirements, including required insurance and bonding. Once paperwork and contract
signatures are in place,the Project is scheduled to begin in late September and be completed by
October 31, 2013. Because the project can be accessed by paved roads at both ends, transient
changes in the weather as the rainy season approaches will not impede project completion.
