BACKGROUND
The annual Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program addresses necessary repairs to
paseo bridges to maintain them in good serviceable condition.
During Fiscal Year 2016-17, a consultant was contracted by the City of Santa Clarita (City) to
prepare afive-year plan to identify the ongoing maintenance and painting needs for the 34 paseo
bridges within the City. In June 2017, inspections were performed on each bridge. Each received
an average condition rating based upon the condition of their major components, including deck
surface, superstructure (all exposed metalwork), substructure (bridge footings and mounting

attachments/bearing pads), and approaches.
For the 2019-20 Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program, three bridges were identified
for repairs: Newhall Ranch Road east of Grandview Drive, McBean Parkway (Bridgeport) north
of Avenue Scott, and Decoro Drive west of Copperstone Drive. These bridges require new joint
seals and the application of methacrylate coating, repair of cracks in the bridge deck and bearing
assemblies, painting, and other minor work. This program supports the Santa Clarita 2020 theme
of Sustaining Public Infrastructure.
An invitation to bid was prepared and published on February 20 and February 27, 2020, and was
posted on the City's website. The original bid opening was scheduled for March 23, 2020;
however, due to the stay-at-home order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the bid opening
was extended 30 days. A total of four bids were submitted and opened by Purchasing on
April 22, 2020. The results of the bids are as follows:
Company Location Bid Amount
Slater Waterproofing, Inc. Montclair, CA $232,470
Leonida Builders Inc. Santa Clarita, CA $278,240
Harbor Coating and Restoration Orange, CA $372,873
Howard Ridley Co., Inc. Chino, CA $393,315
Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Slater Waterproofing, Inc., the lowest
responsive bidder. This contractor possesses a valid state contractor's license and is in good
standing with the Contractors State License Board. The contractor's bid has been reviewed for
accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.
While the City maintains a Support of Local Businesses policy that can be utilized by the City
Council when warranted, the City is governed by the California Public Contract Code with
regard to public works project procurement. In this type of procurement, the California Public
Contract Code does not permit a city to utilize a Support of Local Businesses policy and instead
requires the contract be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
The requested appropriation and available funds appropriated as part of the Fiscal Year 2019-20
budget will provide for the construction contract, including contingency, and construction
support costs for labor compliance services, staff oversight, construction engineering, inspection,
and project management. The requested construction contingency will cover the cost of
unforeseen site conditions and additional work required by the City.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
