WHEREAS, on the 24rd day of June, 1946, a ccntrart was entered into
between the City of klaneda and NeGuire and Hester, a corporation, in accordance
with Specifications, Special Provisions and Plans adopted therefor, No. PW 5-48-6,
filed May 16, 1948, in the office of the City Clerk, in connection with the In-
stallation of a sanitary sewer interceptor S70eM and force vain on Bay For Island;
and
iUEREAS, under date of nuFust 17, 1945, a cori:munication was received fro -n
the Assistant State EiFhway EnjIneer, Jnc. E. SheZFs, Which said letter, in part,
reads as follows:
"It is understood the work involves placement of a sewer pipe parallel
to and 1371 from the center line of the bridge at a considerable depth below
the surface of the bay mud. We are apprehensive that a deep trench in such
close proximity to the existinj bride would undermine the supports and create
a dangerous situation, if not the complete failure of the existing structure.
Since the bridge connects two portions of the City of Alameda, It is
believed that your Honorable Council is as anxious to avoid any possibility
of damage to this structure as air Department is; and it is sugnested that
before you proceed with this work you consult with this office so that a
mutual satisfactory procedure can be wcrked out.''
1EEREAS, since the receipt of said letter numerous conferences have been
had between the City Engineer's office of the City of Alameda ard Ante E!gbway
offAcIals concerninE the contents of said letter; and
UEREAS, soil tests and other investigation have been made and a report
thereof prepared, w1nich, in part, reads as follows.
"It is difficult to determine the minimum distarce from the brQUe at
which the trench could be constructed without jeopardizing the highway
structure, or the trencb design Which wonid assure stable slopes. The slope
stability would depend on several factors wKch are ln?ebernlre, e.F.
method of trench excavation, effects of wave and tidal action, ond the degree
of homogeneity of the ,rmd. beds.
0 ... Any increase in the distance tetween the sewer trench and the bridge
wouldf of course, reduce the probability of damage to the bridge."
M
WLEREAS, after further conferences with the State HiEhway Engineers and
with representatives of the County ingineerts Office of Klameda County, it was
determined to increase the distance of the line crossing the channel from 137 feet
westerly from the center line of the existinE Hay Farm Island bridge to 260 feet
westerly from the center line of said brldEe; and
WhEvEiss it is estimated the change in location of said sewer line would
increase the cost of said sewer approximately :j'�24,300.00; and
