SUBJECT: GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO.
C3002 - APPROVAL OF PROJECT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND
AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the project plans and specifications for the construction of the Golden
Valley Road Interim Improvements, Project No. C3002; award the construction contract for
the improvements to the lowest responsive bidder, Granite Construction Company, in the
amount of $563,871.00; authorize a contingency in the amount of $56,387.10; and authorize
the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
This item is for the construction of the Golden Valley Road Interim Improvements to be made
at the intersections of Ruether Avenue and Soledad Canyon Road and at Ruether Avenue and
Golden Triangle Road. The improvements included in this project are shown on the attached
sketch (Exhibit "B").
The City proposes to widen these strategic intersections to mitigate traffic flow in
anticipation of the Santa Clarita Business Park development and Golden Valley Road. The
proposed improvements will enhance pedestrian safety, improve traffic conditions, and bring
the level of service to an acceptable range in the area.
On February 27, 2001, City Council awarded a contract to STV Incorporated in the amount of
$187,260.00 to complete the construction documents for the Golden Valley Road Interim
Improvements to be made at the intersections of Ruether Avenue, Golden Oak, and Rainbow
Glen Drive at Soledad Canyon Road and Golden Triangle Road.
Based upon the construction cost estimates prepared during the design phase, it was
determined that there was not sufficient budget to fund the work at all three intersections.
Therefore, the Ruether Avenue crossing was selected as the most critical and construction is
proceeding on this crossing only. The design plans for Rainbow Glen Drive and Golden Oak
have been completed and can be utilized when funding is identified in the future.
On March 5, 2003, the City Clerk's office received eight bids for the project (Exhibit "C").
After reviewing the bids, staff verified the apparent low bidder's license, sureties company,
and project references, and recommends awarding the construction contract to Granite
Construction in the amount of $563,871.00.
To date, the plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate have been completed by STV
Incorporated. The proposed improvements include construction activities to be performed by
the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA). As such, the SCRRA requires
that the City reimburse them for this work. On January 31, 2003, the City sent the SCRRA
a check in the amount of $318,600.00, along with an executed Construction and Maintenance
Agreement. Due to the additional costs to be sustained for the SCRRA improvements, our
construction budget includes only the location of Ruether Avenue at Soledad Canyon Road
and Golden Triangle Road.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is being funded through developer fees. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in
the amount of $1,000,000.00 in Account No. C3002455 for Fiscal Year 2002/2003.
