BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita's (City) Landscape Maintenance District is responsible for the
maintenance of all pedestrian bridges connecting the pasco system. This project will replace the
existing pedestrian bridge crossing John Russell Drive. This is the last timber bridge to be
replaced in the paseo system connecting the north, central, and south Valencia Valley
neighborhoods behind Granary Square shopping center, east of McBean Parkway. Due to its
deteriorated condition, the existing timber bridge will be replaced with a new prefabricated steel -
truss bridge. The substructure and superstructure require replacement as recommended in Los
Angeles County's bridge inspection report. The project scope will include removal and
replacement of the existing foundhtion, abutments, reconstruction of a portion of each of the
approaches, and repair and painting of the existing fencing along the approaches. As part of the

ongoing effort to inform the local residents of construction activity in their community, City staff
has contacted the Central Valley Homeowners Association and Valencia Valley Elementary
School to inform them the pedestrian bridge crossing John Russell Drive will be replaced this
spring. City staff will contact nearby residents and the school and homeowners association prior
to the start of construction.

Upon reviewing the bids, City staff determined the bid from the apparent low bidder, DRP
Construction, is non-responsive due to failure to list the bridge supplier as directed by the
specifications. The apparent low bidder has an unfair advantage to shop for a bridge supplier
after the time of bid opening. Therefore, City staff recommends awarding the construction
contract to Toro Enterprises, Inc., the second -lowest bidder. Toro Enterprises, Inc., possesses a
valid state contractor's license and is in good standing with the Contractors State License Board.
The contractor's bid has been reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents
and found to be complete.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

exceed $472,36 1.
