City of Hermosa Beach --- 10-13-98

PROJECT NO. CIP 98-142, MONTEREY BLVD.

IMPROVEMENTS - APPROVAL OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS & ESTIMATES

AND ADVERTISE FOR BIDS


Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the plans, specifications, and estimates, order the work and call for bids; and

2. Instruct the city clerk to post a Notice Inviting Sealed Bids for said project.


Background:

The 1998-1999 capital Improvement Project Budget has included a project for the design and construction of street improvements for Monterey Blvd. from Pier Ave. to 19th Street (see attachment 1). On August 11, 1998, Council approved an agreement between the city and DMR Team, Inc., for the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates (PS & E) for the project. The DMR team has completed the work.


Following is an outline of the proposed scope of construction work:


• The work to be performed consists of a complete street resurfacing with minor public right-of-way improvements and the lining of three selected lengths of existing sewer pipe within Monterey Boulevard between Pier Avenue and 19th Street. The public right-of-way improvements consists of replacing various concrete wheelchair ramps, driveway approaches, cross-gutters, and a small amount of sidewalk replacement within the limits of work.


• The sewer lining will be done with the installation of a "fold-and-formed" PVC pipe that expands within the existing 8" Vitrified Clay Pipes to a proper fit allowing for the restoration of maximum flow capacity within the three selected lengths of sewer pipe. No trenching will be necessary and all lateral service connections will be restored internally using robotically controlled cutting devices.


The PS & E's are available in the office of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer for review.



Fiscal Impact:

The Engineer's estimate for construction is $251,000. The current project budget is

$200,000 from the following sources:

  • 160 Sewer Fund - $100,000
  • 301 Capital Improvement Fund - $100,000


The cost of the design is $23,515, therefore, $178,485 is available for construction. Consequently, if the bid price is equal to or greater than the engineers estimate, an additional appropriation will be required.
