TITLE
Recommendation to adopt Plans and Specifications No. R-6722 for the Improvement of 7th Street between Redondo Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway; and authorize City Manager to award the contract to Palp, Inc., dba Excel Paving Company, in an estimated amount of $1,213,347 plus a 15 percent contingency amount, if necessary. (District 3)
DISCUSSION
The pavement on yth Street between Redondo Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway is in need of rehabilitation. The rehabilitation work consists of replacing damaged curbs and gutters, removing and replacing bituminous surfaces, cold milling, resurfacing the pavement, and installing new pavement markings, loop detectors, and a traffic signal interconnect system.
Because traffic volumes on this street are high and there is little room for a contractor to perform lane closures to resurface the street, the work will be done over three weekend closures. 7th Street will be closed from Friday at midnight until Sunday at midnight over three weekends to expedite the work and to insure the safety of the traveling public.
The dates for these weekend closures will be set after the award of contract and a coordination meeting with the contractor, all affected departments and Caltrans has been conducted. Public noticing of the closures will be done well in advance and clear detour signs will be posted during the weekend closures. In addition those residents in close proximity to the construction that will be affected by the construction noise will be provided relocation vouchers for the weekend construction activity.
City Council's adoption of the plans and specifications and award of the contract to the lowest responsible bidder are being recommended concurrently in order to expedite implementation of this project. The project was advertised for bid on February 9, 2008, and bids were opened on March 12, 2008. Information regarding Palp, Inc. dba Excel Paving Company, is provided on the attached contract awards document.
