BACKGROUND
Brighton Lane is in the Northbridge area and was constructed in the early 1990's as part of Tract
44690 while this area was under Los Angeles County jurisdiction. In March 20, 1997, the
Northbridge area was annexed into the City.
Over the past few years, the City has received numerous complaints regarding nuisance water
ponding at the cross gutter at the intersection of Brighton Lane and Wilmington Court. Staff
investigated the condition and hired a geotechnical engineer to investigate the probable cause of
the settlement. The results of the investigation revealed that the existing street section thickness
was not in accordance with the City's current standards, which caused the street to fail and to
settle. This settlement has caused water to pond and create more damage to the surrounding
areas.
Substantial constraints and controls have been established in the construction document to reduce
potential impacts to residences in the area during construction. Construction is scheduled to
begin in June 2006, and is anticipated to be complete within 45 working days after the effective
date of the Notice to Proceed. Staff will appoint inspectors to ensure proper work performance
by the contractor and to handle daily field issues.
The city issued a Notice Inviting Bids on March 31, 2006. On May 1, 2006, the City's
Purchasing Division received three bids for the project:
Company Location Bid Amount
General Pavement Management Santa Paula $258,232.00
Padilla Paving Santa Clarita $292,150.00
C.A. Rasmussen Simi Valley $289,915.00
The lowest responsive bid was submitted by General Pavement Management (GPM) in the
amount of $258,232.00. GPM possesses s State Contractor's License and is in good standing
with the State Contractor's License Board.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of approximately $200,000.00 have been budgeted in S1008001-8001. Of
this amount, $196,612.00 is currently available for construction -related costs. The requested
transfer of $125,000.00 in project savings from the 2004-2005 Overlay Program Account No.
M0039001 will adequately provide for the anticipated construction costs of $317,056.00.
