BACKGROUND As part of the Fiscal Year 2005-06 budget package, City Council approved CIP funding for the Sand Canyon Trail, Phase R project which extends the multi -use trail along Sand Canyon Road from Road Runner Road south to Oak Springs Canyon Road. Approximately 2,200 feet of trail will be installed within easements granted to the City by the property owners. The Sand Canyon Trail, Phase II project was duly advertised, for bidding purposes. Although seven prime contractors and sub -contractors requested plans and specifications in advance of the bid opening date, there were no bids received. Subsequent phone calls to those contractors revealed that the contractors elected not to bid on this project because of other work they were bidding on, or an inability to complete this project along with their current work loads. Staff reviewed the situation with both the Purchasing Division and the City Attorney's Office. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20166, the City is not required to re -bid the project and may proceed to award the contract through the negotiation process. Negotiations with Richard May Construction Inc. resulted in a bid price of $214,604 to complete the Sand Canyon Trail, Phase H project. Through the generosity of Los Angeles County Mayor, Michael D. Antonovich, the City was awarded a grant for $150,000 through the 2006 Competitive Trails Grant Program of the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District. The grant will enable the City to proceed with this segment of the trail and will help fund early design of the planned segment, taking the trail north to Lost Canyon Road. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The total cost of this project is $318,000, of which $63,936 will be used for the design of the next trail segment. These costs will be offset completely by funds currently budgeted in CIP Account Number T3011001-8001, in the amount of $168,000, and grant funds of $150,000 to be appropriated to Account Number T3011210-8001.
