The fourth location, the PCH/Knob Hill Avenue sewer repair, was removed from Toro’s scope of work as Caltrans assumed responsibility for the repairs and is performing the work at no cost to the City.
The proposed amendment to the agreement with Toro would add $800,000 for on-call storm drain services and $800,000 for on-call sanitary sewer services, increasing the agreement’s not-to-exceed amount by $1,600,000 to $1,978,875.
