City of Hermosa Beach --- 03-28-00

AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR PROJECT NO. CIP 99-409 SEWER CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY BETWEEN GOULD AVENUE AND 24TH STREET

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

  1. Award the construction contract for the sewer construction and rehabilitation on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) between Gould Avenue and 24th Street to U-Liner West of Long Beach, California in the amount of $28,250.
  2. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the construction contract subject to approval by the city Attorney; and
  3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make minor changes as necessary within the budget of $2,825.

 

Background:

During routine annual sewer cleaning, it was discovered that the sewer line located on PCH between Gould Avenue and 24th Street had severe damage at one location. The line had eroded, causing a large fault under the roadbed next to a manhole. Several hundred feet of sewer pipe also need immediate attention.

Due to the proposed Caltrans construction project on PCH through the South Bay, and particularly in Hermosa Beach, there is an immediate need to proceed with this sewer project prior to the start of the highway project in May.

This project was advertised in the Easy Reader, Green Sheet (Construction News Reporter), Daily Construction Service and Bid America. The City Clerk received three bids by the closing date of August 5, 1999. The bids were publicly opened and read aloud. The bid results are as follows:
