Extension of Contract for Right of Way Debris Removal Equipment
Public Works
On March 22, 1994, the City Council approved a contract not to exceed $150,000.00 with
Applied Environmental Management Company (AFM) to provide the city with labor and
equipment to assist the California Conservation Corps (CCC) in removal of debris from
public right-of-way. The AME contract replaced the contract which the City held with the
County of Los Angeles, as it provided a reduction in costs compared to the County on a per
ton basis.
On April 8, 1994, AEM notified the City that by April 11, 1994, they will have met their
"not to exceed" total of $150,000.00. In order to continue with the debris removal program,
it was necessary that the City issue a change order to AEM to increase their "not to exceed"
amount by $25,891.84. This amount would cover work done up to April 15, 1994.
Although AEM ensures that debris on streets is being removed, more debris is being placed
daily on the City streets by contractors and private citizens who are repairing their properties
which were damaged by the earthquake on January 17, 1994; and by the subsequent
aftershocks. Failure to remove the debris will pose a safety hazard to citizens.
In order for the City to maintain safe roadways and public right-of-ways, it is apparent that
AEM continue to remove debris from City streets. It is recommended that the contract with
AEM be extended to include a term of 20 working days, with a "not to exceed" amount of
$225,443.00. This cost will include equipment operators and two flagging crews, which are
needed for the removal of debris. The previous AEM contract did not include labor for
flagging crews since the CCC provided this service. As of April 16, 1994, however, the
City is no longer contracting with the CCC.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the change order amount to increase the original "not to exceed" amount by
$25,892.00 and appropriate funds from 01-9999-999.
Approve the extension of the Applied Environmental Management contract not to exceed the
amount of $225,443.00 from account 01-9999-999 for a period of 20 working days.
