DISCUSSION
A Bluff Erosion and Enhancement Master Plan (Master Plan) was developed through a community input process and completed in 2000. The Master Plan identified a 4,000 linear-foot bluff area adjacent to Ocean Boulevard (from 20th to 36th Place) that requires significant erosion control improvements. Due to funding constraints, the project was divided into two phases. Construction of the Phase 1 Project was completed in 2012, which stabilized the area between Redondo Avenue and 36th Place using soil-nailing technology. The current Project (Phase 2) consists primarily of stabilizing the bluffs with similar soil-nailing technology, but also includes additional landscaping, including planter pockets. A new irrigation system, sidewalk repairs, and new hand rails, similar to the existing ones, will also be installed.
The 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 implement the project. The project was advertised for bids on January 26, 2013, and bids were opened on February 27, 2013. In addition to placing an advertisement for bids in the Long Beach Press Telegram, bid documents were made available through the City’s weblink at, http://www.PlanetBids.com
