AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the plans and specifications and award the construction contract to

On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The $787 billion federal economic stimulus contains a
combination of spending programs and tax credits consisting of nearly $355 billion for
transportation infrastructure, health care programs, education, housing assistance, and energy
efficiency projects; $144 billion in state and local fiscal relief; and $288 billion in personal and
business tax credits. California's anticipated share will reach $85 billion; a total of $50 billion in
new spending and $35 billion in tax credits.
As specified by the ARRA program, the one-time project funds will be provided to the City via
existing formula allocations. There are very specific eligibility requirements associated with the
project funding for individual projects, and funds may not be used for any other purpose. The
City's share of $5,175,000 of the highway program, a component of the transportation
infrastructure, is based on an existing population per capita formula and has been allocated in full
by California's Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for five projects within the City.
G�f"ROVED;
On April 13, 2009, the City submitted five "Request to Proceed with Construction
Authorization" applications to Caltrans. These requests were for the Asphalt Roadway Phase I
(M0072), Asphalt Roadway Phase II (M0073), Traffic Circulation and Safety Improvements at
Newhall Avenue and Sierra Highway (C0034), Whites Canyon Road at Soledad Canyon Road
Right -Turn Pocket Circulation and Safety Improvements (C3010), and Bridge Rehabilitation
(M0074) projects. Caltrans Local Assistance has reviewed the City's authorization requests and
forwarded them to Caltrans headquarters for final approval and issuance of the authorization to
bid the project. Staff received authorization on all five projects.
On July 24, 2009, the Bridge Rehabilitation Program, Project M0074, was advertised for
construction bids. On August 27, 2009, the City's Purchasing Division received the following
nine bids for the project:
Company

Debruin Construction Inc.

This project will provide for preventative maintenance and repair to various bridges in the City
that includes sealing the bridge decks, patch spall ing, and the replacement of expansion joints,
sealants, end treatments, and guardrail posts.
Staff recommends that the project be awarded to Peterson/Chase General Engineering
Construction, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder. This contractor possesses the required state
contractor's license and is in good standing with the State Contractor's Board. The contractor's
bid has been reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to
be complete.
The approved ARRA budget for this project is $550,101. The project construction award to
Peterson/Chase General Engineering Construction, Inc., is not to exceed the available
construction budget of $475,000, including contingency. The recommended construction budget
allows for additional bridge maintenance work. The City may add other City bridges that require
maintenance via a contract change order up to this amount. The remaining budget of $75,101 will
be used for independent quality assurance services, labor compliance services, and miscellaneous
project administration costs to complete the project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds appropriated into Account M0074229-5161.001 during the Fiscal Year 2009-10
budget process will adequately provide for the anticipated construction costs.
