BACKGROUND
On June 23, 1998, Council authorized the advertisement for bids for these projects. Bids
will be received by the City Clerk's office on July 23, 1998. Ordinarily after a bid opening,
staff prepares a bid summary, verifies that the low bidder is licensed, checks his surety
company, bid bond, and references for reputation on past projects, and prepares an agenda
report recommending that Council award a contract to the lowest responsible bidder.
However, the schedule of this project conflicts with Council's summer recess. In an effort to
keep this project on schedule and complete construction during the dry summer and fall
months, staff requests that City Council grant authority to the City Manager to sign the
contract with the lowest responsible bidder. On August 25, 1998, staff will update Council
on the bid results and ask Council to ratify the contract entered into by the City Manager.
The engineer's estimate for construction of this project is $4,285,000.00. Construction is
scheduled to begin in early August 1998, with an anticipated completion date of October
1998.
The Annual Overlay project will resurface various streets throughout the City to provide a
smoother ride for traffic, enhance the appearance of the area, and extend the economic life
of the roadway.
The Annual Slurry project will seal surface cracks, enhance skid resistance properties, and
increase pavement life.
The Annual Access Ramp Construction project will install pedestrian access ramps in high -
demand areas of the City, including transit routes, parks, schools, and hospitals, as
required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The Annual Curb and Gutter Repair program will install new curb and gutter at various
locations throughout the City where flowline problems exist. Locations were selected based
on citizen requests and staff observations.
The Annual New Sidewalk project will install sidewalks at various locations within the City
where none currently exist. The primary focus is in areas with high pedestrian usage and
along pedestrian routes associated with the Suggested Route -to -School Program. This
program helps reduce the City's liability by providing designated pedestrian routes.
The Annual Sidewalk Repair project will repair damaged sidewalks at various locations
throughout the City. Locations were selected based on citizen requests and staff
observations.
The Annual Median Modification project will alter medians to allow more efficient traffic
flow by reducing congestion, creating safer turning lanes, and restricting adverse traffic
patterns. Locations were selected based on citizen requests and staff observations.

North Oaks Park and Santa Clarita Park Parking Lot Pavement Rehabilitation projects
will resurface the parking lots to improve the condition of the pavement and enhance the
appearance of these parks.
The Orchard Village Road Traffic Signal Interconnect project will improve traffic flow on
Orchard Village Road by connecting the traffic signals and synchronizing their timing prior
to overlay of the street.
The 16th Street Sidewalk Installation project will install sidewalk on the south side of
16th Street between Avenida Ignacio and Newhall Avenue.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Alternative actions may delay the construction of this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total combined project budget of these projects is $4,591,522.00. The engineer's
estimate for construction is $4,285,000.00. Sufficient funds are available in the designated
accounts.
