SUMMARY: On June 19, 2013, the City advertised and solicited bids for the Walker Junior High School Pedestrian Safety Improvements along Walker Street from Crescent Avenue to La Palma Avenue and Crescent Avenue from Moody Street to Walker Street, City Project No. ST-316 On July 11, 2013, seven (7) bids were received and opened, as follows: Agenda Item 5 Page 1

BIDDING CONTRACTOR BASE BID 1. PTM General Engineering Services Riverside $108,888 2. Dynalectric Los Alamitos $109,900 3. Siemens Industry, Inc. Anaheim $109,999 4. Pelagic Engineering Oxnard $112,300 5. Unique Performance Construction, Inc. Anaheim $113,700 6. California Professional Engineering La Puente $116,208 7. Select Electric, Inc. Poway $116,286 The low bid of $108,888, submitted by PTM General Engineering Services, Inc. of Riverside, California, is 10.7% below the engineer s estimate of $122,000, and is satisfactory. The project consists of furnishing all materials, equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals needed to complete the project and doing all work necessary as indicated by the plans, specifications, and contract documents, including but not limited to, installation of new vehicle speed radar feedback signs on new 16-foot high poles with caisson footings within the existing sidewalk area adjacent to the streets along Walker Street and Crescent Avenue in the vicinity of Walker Junior High School. Based on the low bid received, the total estimated project cost including contingencies is $138,976 as shown in the table below: Figure 1 DESCRIPTION AMOUNT Construction Cost $108,888 Contingency 10% $ 10,888 Construction Engineering and Inspection $ 19,200 Total Estimated Project Construction Cost $138,976 Approval of the agenda item also authorizes the expenditure of all available contingencies in the project. The contingencies will be available for any necessary change orders associated with unforeseen circumstances; such as additional concrete removal, replacement quantities not identified in the scope of work for the project, or any other miscellaneous repairs necessary to complete the project. Said circumstances are typical for this type of project. The contingency amount is proposed at ten percent (10%) of the construction cost. PTM General Engineering Services, Inc. has not previously performed work within the City. They have performed work for the City of Newport Beach, City of Rosemead, County of Riverside, and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Reference checks with these agencies indicate that their work product is satisfactory. Timing: As this project will be completed when school is in session, staff will work with school staff to inform them of the schedule. Some of the work on Crescent Avenue will be conducted on Saturdays to minimize the impact and the remaining work on Walker Street will not impede students from safely walking to and from school. A project calendar will be developed with the contractor at a later date. Agenda Item 5 Page 2

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE: Award contract September 3, 2013 Execute agreement September 13, 2013 Commence construction September 23, 2013 Complete construction November 25, 2013 FISCAL IMPACT: This project had originally been budgeted in FY 2011-12 with an estimated cost of $174,000, and was funded from the Capital Outlay Reserve (COR) fund in anticipation of full reimbursement of costs from the SRTS award. At their May 15, 2012, meeting, the City Council awarded a contract to AKAL Consultants for Engineering Services and appropriated funds for the entire project. As this occurred during the FY 2012-13 budget adoption process, inadvertently the project was not included in the final Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. Subsequently, this project was also not included in the adopted FY 2013-14 CIP budget. Therefore, it is necessary to amend the FY 2013-14 COR budget by increasing appropriations by $138,976 (Account 035-900-931.000). Since project costs will be reimbursed 100% through the SRTS program, there will be no net effect on the fund balance of the COR fund. In addition, revenue estimates for COR will be increased by $138,976 in anticipation of the reimbursement of project costs (Account 035-000-420.085) once the project has been completed. RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: a) Approve a Resolution and award contract in the amount of $108,888 to PTM General Engineering Services, Inc. for the Walker Junior High School Pedestrian Safety Improvements along Walker Street from Crescent Avenue to La Palma Avenue and Crescent Avenue from Moody Street to Walker Street. b) Authorize appropriation of funds in the amount of $138,976 in the Capital Outlay Reserve (COR) fund (Account 035-900-931.000) APPROVED: Department Director Finance City Manager Agenda Item 5 Page 3
