NO. S3013 - AWARD OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council award the construction contract to Security Paving Company, Inc. for the
Scherzinger Lane Street Improvements, Project No. 53013, in the amount of $509,247.60, and
authorize a 10 percent contingency in the amount of $50,924.76; and authorize the City Manager
or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
On August 26, 2003, the City awarded the sewer construction project to Padilla Paving
(Contractor) for the Scherzinger Lane Street Improvements project. The contract was entered
into for the purpose of removing the existing pavement and base, asphalt concrete paving,
aggregate base placement and compaction, constructing the sidewalk, curb and gutter, installing
an 8 -inch main line sewer with 4 -inch house laterals (including saw cutting and removal of
pavement, trenching, bedding, laying VCP pipe, backfill and compaction, pavement, and repairs
and replacement of damaged landscaping), reconstructing the drainage inlet, and installing the
streetlight conduit.
During the construction of the main line sewer, the contractor requested to be relieved of the
street construction portion of the contract. Due to unexpected delays by utility companies that
were beyond the City's and Contractor's control, it was apparent that it would be beneficial to
allow the Contractor's request and to bid the street portion of the project out separately, once the
sewer was completed. A settlement agreement was reached by the City and the Contractor, and
the City has rebid the remaining scope of the original contract.
On March 9, 2004, the City Clerk's office received bids for the project (see Exhibit "A"). The
lowest responsive bid was submitted by Security Paving Company, Inc. in the amount of
$509,247.60. Security Paving Company, Inc. has completed previous capital improvement
projects with the City, and has provided quality service with reasonable construction impact.
Staff recommends that the project be awarded to Security Paving Company, Inc., the lowest
responsive bidder. Security Paving Company, Inc. possesses a State Contractor's License and is
in good standing with the State Contractor's License Board. The bid of $509,247.60 was
reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.
References were checked and indicated that this contractor has performed work to their
customers' satisfaction.
Scherzinger Lane is a residential street without curb and gutter, sidewalk, or streetlighting. The
proposed improvements will enhance pedestrian safety and improve drainage in the area.
This project will install curb and gutter, sidewalk, and streetlights on Scherzinger Lane, and will
reconstruct some portions of Scherzinger and two side streets that intersect with it. The
following is a list of the streets planned for improvements under this project:
• Scherzinger Lane from 200 feet south of Sierra Cross Avenue to Sierra Highway
• Bonnie View Avenue from Scherzinger Lane to the cul-de-sac
• Sierra Cross Avenue from east of Mint Canyon/LACFCD to Scherzinger Lane
• Sierra Cross Avenue from Scherzinger Lane to the cul-de-sac
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Census Block data identifies Scherzinger Lane
as an eligible area for the expenditure of grant funds. The funding for this improvement is part of
the City's annual entitlement from CDBG and a portion of funding is included in the
Fiscal Year 2003-2004 Capital Improvement Program funded projects.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Sufficient funds
are available to cover the construction cost of the project in Account No. S3013104.
