advertise and solicit bids for the construction of projects included in the Public Works
Page 10
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA- MAY 9, 2023
Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP). The Cal -Recycle Rubberized Chip Seal project is included in the
IMP and consists of installing a rubberized chip seal on roads in and around the community of
Nord. The Department advertised for bids on March 14, 2023 and a total of five bids were received
on April 6, 2023. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was American Pavement Systems,
Inc. of Modesto, with a bid amount of $1,255,400. The Department received a Cal -Recycle
Rubberized Pavement Grant in the amount of $218,079 to utilize recycled -content surfacing
products derived from waste tires generated in California to decrease the adverse environmental
impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires. Rubberized materials are a
proven road paving material that has been used in California since the 1970s. It is made by
blending ground tire rubber with asphalt binder mixed with conventional aggregate materials.
The grant helps pay for the increased costs of including rubberized products in the traditional chip
seal process. A rubberized chip seal may last up to twice as long as a traditional chip seal, making
it a cost efficient option for future chip seal projects. The Department recommends that the Board
award the contract to American Pavement Systems, Inc., approve the plans and specifications,
and authorize the Director of Public Works to sign the contract and order changes or additions in
work performed per Public Contract Code section 20142 — action requested - 1) AWARD THE

4.09 Butte County Groundwater Status Report for the 2022 Water Year - Pursuant to Chapter 33 of the
Butte County Code, the Department of Water and Resource Conservation is required to collect
data on groundwater levels and report to the Board of Supervisors each year on the status of
groundwater conditions. On September 16, 2014, Governor Brown signed into law a package of
bills collectively called the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which requires
Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) in a subbasin to adopt and implement a Groundwater
Sustainability Plan (GSP). GSAs must also submit annual reports to the Department of Water
Resources (DWR) by April 1st each year. The Department, in cooperation with the GSAs in the
three subbasins, prepared an annual report for each subbasin to meet the requirements of SGMA.
These reports are submitted to the DWR SGMA Portal (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/portal/). This
is the second Butte County Groundwater Status Report (Report) since adoption of the GSPs in the
three subbasins in the County: Butte, Vina, and Wyandotte Creek Subbasins. The Report contains
an overview of the hydrologic conditions of the 2022 water year and a high level description of
conditions in each subbasin based on content in their individual annual reports. The subbasin
specific annual reports are included as attachments to the Report and contain an executive
summary, general information and a location map for the subbasin, groundwater level data
shown as graphs and contour maps, estimated groundwater extractions, surface water supply,
total water use in the subbasin, and an estimate of change in groundwater storage. The annual
reports also describe progress made toward implementing the GSP with an update on projects
and management actions. The Subbasin annual reports were reviewed by the Technical Advisory
Committee of the Water Commission on March 20, 2023 and the Water Commission was
presented with content from the Report and discussed it at their April 5, 2023 meeting. This
Report is provided with the agenda item materials to the Board of Supervisors to meet the
reporting requirements of Chapter 33. The full report and the appendices are available online at:
