3.27Agreement with Dokken Engineering for Professional Services for East Rio Bonito Road Bridge
Replacements - The Department of Public Works has been planning to replace two adjacent sub-
standard bridges on East Rio Bonito Road. One at the crossing of Sutter Butte Canal, and the
other across Hamilton Slough. The location is just east of State Route 99 and north of the City of
Gridley. The new bridges will both be two-span, cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab type
bridges approximately 74 and 40 feet in length respectively. They will accommodate two 12-
foot lanes with 4-foot shoulders for an overall clear roadway width of 32 feet. The two bridges
will be connected by a newly constructed roadway across previously acquired right-of-way that
traverses an existing rice field. The new roadway alignment will replace two existing sharp 90
degree corners with larger radius curves. This will necessitate the closure of each structure
independently, but never at the same time so that property access within the project site can be
maintained. Due to the bridges close proximity and the road realignment, it essentially makes
this one project from a design standpoint. Caltrans and FHWA consider these to be separate
projects under the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and therefore two separate design contracts
are needed. To ensure both designs are properly coordinated with each other, staff is
recommending that the two contracts be with the same design firm. Department staff
completed a formal Request for Qualifications process in 2015 and selected Dokken Engineering
of Sacramento for the environmental review and subsequent development of contract plans,
specifications, and estimate (PS&E) required to construct the project. The amount of the
agreement is not to exceed $409,937.54 for the crossing at Sutter Butte Canal and $209,470.19
for the Hamilton Slough crossing. The completion date is five years after the Notice to Proceed
for both action requested APPROVE AGREEMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

3.28Use of County Rule 20A Underground Utility Credits for City of Chico Underground Utility Districts
In 1968, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) established the Rule 20A Utility
Undergrounding program in response to the California Public Utilities Commission's mandate for
utility-funded underground conversion to help communities convert heavy concentrations of
existing overhead utilities, particularly along arterials and in commercial areas in urban areas, to
underground facilities. PG&E records indicate Butte County's current allocation credit balance is
approximately $15,000,000. The County, in cooperation with the cities and Town, established
the Butte County Rule 20A Underground Conversion program to utilize the balance of the
County's uncommitted credits in the cities and Town because the County has limited urban areas
in which to use the credits. The City of Chico has requested that the County authorize $5,000,000
in credits be transferred for three underground projects in their city limits. Those projects are
as follows: 1) Bruce Road Widening Project; 2) North Esplanade Reconstruction Project; and, 3)
Warner Avenue Utility Under-grounding Project. Staff reviewed the request and concurs with
County requiring the credits

5.019:20 am - Introduction of Ordinance Enacting Chapter 34B of the Butte County Code Entitled
"Restrictions on Butane Resale" - Northern California, and Butte County specifically, has
experienced a marked increase in the seizure of clandestine Butane "Honey Oil" (BHO)
laboratories, with several explosions associated with these laboratories. BHO laboratories
extract Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from marijuana plant material, using a refined butane
extraction process, producing a concentrated form of marijuana ("Honey Oil "). When refined
butane is utilized and evaporated during the THC extraction process, a highly volatile vapor is
produced that is not detectable through human senses, and is heavier than air. It will often pool
in low lying areas with common ignition sources, such as wall switches, thermostats, refrigerator
motors, wall outlets, and even static electricity. The proposed ordinance would make it unlawful
to resell butane canisters that exceed a combined total storage of 600 ml of butane in any single
transaction, and for any customer to buy or obtain any number of butane canisters that exceed
a combined total storage of 600 ml during a 30 day period. The ordinance exempts wholesalers
for the purpose of resale, lawful and properly licensed commercial operations which require
butane quantities greater than 600 ml, and butane canisters containing sulfur odorant, such as
