CSA 172 (Autumn Park) was formed in 1999 and provides various
services. Installation and maintenance of landscaping along Kittyhawk
Road and Garner Lane are required as a condition of approval for the
subdivision, and CSA 172 provides the annual revenue for these services.
The Department of Public Works provides contract management for
annual landscaping maintenance services. The County recently issued
Request for Quotations 2021-14 to continue landscaping services that
yielded a single bidder, Fair Street Landscaping, Chico for $1,656 per
month. The Department recommends awarding the contract to Fair
Street Landscaping, for a not -to -exceed amount of $32,000 for a term of
one year, with the option of two one-year extensions. Monthly
maintenance costs are estimated at $1,656 per month. The contract
includes additional funding for non -routine repairs (i.e. irrigation system
repairs) on an as -needed basis. It is anticipated that half of this contract
will be applicable in the next (FY 2022/23) fiscal year. Public Works will

4.04 Butte County Public Works Disaster Pro*ect_DeliverV Cash Flow Needs
for 2022
Page 22 of 26
Butte County has been significantly impacted by multiple disasters. Two
catastrophic and life -altering events - the Camp Fire and the North
Complex Fire - have fundamentally affected the County, while multiple
storm -related disasters have also had impacts on area communities.
County -maintained roads and infrastructure have sustained significant
damage from disasters since 2017. On August 10, 2021, the Department
of Public Works presented a Road Recovery and Restoration report to
the Board of Supervisors that quantified cumulative disaster impacts to
County -maintained roads and presented priorities and funding
considerations for the Board's information. FHWA distributes funding for
planning, design, building, repairing, and rehabilitation of roads and has
provided consistent funding to the Department across many projects. In
recent months, permanent Camp Fire road restoration projects have
been approved by Caltrans and the Federal Highways Administration
(FHWA) on Skyway, New Skyway, and Pence Road. Caltrans and FHWA
have also given authorization for repairs to Miners Ranch Road
stemming from the North Complex Fire. The Department plans to begin
work on these repairs in 2022. The total estimated cost of these projects
is approximately $24.3 million. The projects may require the County to
provide local funds for short-term cash flow until the necessary funding
can be allocated by our partners. The Department does not have the
resources to provide $24.3 million in cash flow for the projects. The
Department has identified several cash flow scenarios for Board
consideration with plans to return with a future action item in alignment
with Board direction. (Public Works)
Action requested- PROVIDE DIRECTION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
WORKS ON A CASH FLOW SOURCE FOR APPROVED CALTRANS AND
