TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Sean Crumby P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT FOR SEAL BEACH BOULEVARD
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST1001
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 6155:
• Awarding a contract for the Seal Beach Boulevard Median Project (Task
1) to All American Asphalt in the amount of $361,000;
• Awarding a contract for the Seal Beach Boulevard Resurfacing Project
(Task 2) to All American Asphalt in the amount of $409,000; and
• Authorizing the City Manager to approve, execute and sign Program
Supplement Agreement.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On September 1, 2009, Caltrans approved the City's funded Federal -aid
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) package in the amount of
$496,413.00 for the Seal Beach Boulevard Resurfacing Project (Task 2) between
Pacific Coast Highway and Bolsa Avenue.
At the July 12, 2010 City Council meeting, Council approved plans and
specifications for Task 2 and authorized staff to solicit for bids. At the time, Seal
Beach Boulevard was in construction, with a Rule 20A Utility Underground
Project. The City waited for the conclusion of that project before bidding out Task
2. During this same time period, the City of Seal Beach applied for a
Transportation Enhancement (TE) grant for median construction within the same
location of Seal Beach Boulevard.
On September 27, 2010, OCTA approved the TE 2010 Proposed List of Projects.
The City was awarded grant funding for Seal Beach Boulevard in the amount of
$388,000.
Agenda Item M
Page 2
At the October 11, 2010 City Council meeting, Council approved plans and
specifications for the Seal Beach Boulevard Median Project (Task 1) and
authorized staff to solicit for bids.
Staff combined both projects (Task 1 and Task 2) into one project, Seal Beach
Boulevard Street Improvement Project No. ST1001, to achieve savings of scale
and reduce the overall project cost. The chronological sequence of construction,
constructing the medians and then paving, alleviates harming the newly paved
roadway.
The Seal Beach Boulevard Street Improvement Project No. ST1001 consists of
constructing new medians with landscaping and irrigation, replacement of
damaged sidewalk, curb & gutter, driveway and paving. In addition, removing the
asphalt parkways that are impervious and replacing with pavers, along Seal
Beach Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway to Bolsa Avenue.
On June 8, 2011, the City Clerk's office received 8 bids with the following results:
RANK 1 CONTRACTOR : TASK 1 BID 1 TASK 2 BID ! TOTAL BID
1 1 All American Asphalt $361,000 ' $409,000 $770,000
2 EBS General $335,080 ; $496,155 $831,163
3 RJ Noble : $400,675 $434,930 $835,445
4 j Sequel Contractors • $419,200 $450,390 1 $869,590
5 Sully - Miller : $395,860 $497,085 $892,945
6 1 Hardy & Harper ' $413,255 $497,745 $911,000

8 . Nobest, Inc. . $389,800 $550,200 $940,000
Staff has reviewed the package submitted by the lowest bidder. This package is
complete and the bidder has successfully completed similar projects for the City
and other agencies within Orange County. The contractor has suitable
references, qualifications, work experience and cost, and staff recommends
selecting All American Asphalt as the lowest responsive combined bid of
$770,000.
In order to receive Federal and State funds, local agencies are required to
execute agreements and documents relating to transportation projects through
the California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans).
At the December 14, 2009 City Council meeting, Council approved the Program
Supplement Agreement for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) Federal Transportation Funds received in the amount of $496,413.
The Program Supplement Agreement is to be executed between the City of Seal
Beach and Caltrans for the Seal Beach Boulevard Median Project. The City
Page 3
received $388,000 from the TE grant. In order to receive the funds, the City must
execute the program supplement.
The program supplement is available in the City Engineer's office for review.
The City Attorney's office has approved a boilerplate template construction
agreement to be used for this type of project. The contractor has signed the
agreement and it is included in this staff report. Exhibits to that agreement,
including bonds and insurance documents will be provided to the City upon
award of contract.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
With both State and Federal funds granted for this project, the City was required
to obtain both California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National
Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) compliance. In December 2010, both
CEQA and NEPA compliance documents were approved.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In the approved FY 2011 -12 Budget, City -Wide Grant funds are budgeted for the
Seal Beach Boulevard Street Improvement Project No. ST1001. Given that the
grant allocations are from two separate funding sources, the accounting will be
kept separate for reimbursement reporting purposes.
Anticipated funding and expenditures for this project are as follows:
Task 1
Funding Amount
TE Grant Funding $388,000
City Required Match (General Funds) $101,160.
Total $489,160
Expenses Amount
Construction $361,000
Construction Engineering $ 18,000
Construction Management $ 18,000
Contingency $ 36,000
Total $433,000

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council Adopt Resolution No 6155:
• Awarding a contract for the Seal Beach Boulevard Median Project (Task
1) to All American Asphalt in the amount of $361,000;
• Awarding a contract for the Seal Beach Boulevard Resurfacing Project
(Task 2) to All American Asphalt in the amount of $409,000; and
• Authorizing the City Manager to approve, execute and sign Program
