TITLE
Recommendation to adopt Specifications No. ITB PR16-018 and award a contract to Cattrac Construction, Inc., of Fontana, CA, to provide beach renourishment services for the Alamitos Peninsula, in an annual amount not to exceed $200,000, for a period of two years, with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods at the same rate, at the discretion of the City Manager, or his designee.

DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into a contract with Cattrac Construction, Inc. (Cattrac), for beach renourishment services.
Every year, natural coastal erosion caused by wave action, king tides, storm surge energy and wind erode the beach along the Alamitos Peninsula.
