FROM: Sean P. Crumby P.E., Assistant City Manager/Public Works
SUBJECT: ARTERIAL AND LOCAL STREET RESURFACING
PROJECT NO. ST1202 & ST1204
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6363:
• Approving Plans and Specifications for the Arterial & Local Street
Resurfacing Project No. STI 202 & ST1 204;
• Awarding a contract for the Arterial & Local Street Resurfacing Project No.
ST1 202 & ST1 204 to R.J. Noble Company in the amount of$613,974.63;
• Authorizing the City Manager to approve additional construction in the
amount of$65,000; and
• Approving Budget Modification No. 13-09-03 for $318,000 in additional
construction funding to account numbers: 077-000-30980, 077-888-
47000, 045-000-31500 and 045-333-44000.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Each year the City of Seal Beach delivers Annual Local Street Resurfacing and
Annual Arterial Street Resurfacing construction projects. The streets that are
selected to be rehabilitated are identified in the Pavement Management Plan that
was most recently adopted on May 14, 2012.
The projects to be delivered in FY 2012-13 are being increased in scope due to
additional funding being identified for rehabilitation projects. The State-Local
Partnership Program (SLPP) is offered by the State of California and processed
through the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). It is funded
through the Proposition 1B ballot measure that was authorized by California
voters through the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port
Security Bond Act of 2006. These funds are intended for construction ready,
transportation projects of regional significance, of which can include
rehabilitation, capital construction, and construction management so long as the
work provides a minimum 15 year useful life for the project.
Agenda Item F
Funds were lobbied by OCTA and made available to every city in Orange
County. These are grant funds that require an equal matching contribution from
the City. The funding available to Seal Beach is $318,000 if the City expends
$318,000. In order to capture the funding available within this program the City
has combined the FY 12113 Annual Local Resurfacing Program ($275,000) and
the FY 12/13 Annual Arterial Resurfacing Program ($200,000).
An application was submitted proposing road rehabilitation for the SLPP funds
available to Seal Beach. The streets selected to receive this funding are those
that were identified within the City's Pavement Management Plan (PMP) as both
local and arterial streets. The Pavement Management Plan identifies the streets
that will be rehabilitated within the funding levels of the City's current budget.
The increased budget will rehabilitate streets now that were targeted to be
constructed in future years. A grant agreement was approved by the City
Council on November 13, 2012 that approved the streets to be rehabilitated.
The roads selected for this application are:
• Ironwood Avenue from Elder Avenue to Heather Street;
• Ironwood Avenue from Wisteria Avenue to Tulip Street;
• Sandpiper Drive from Bolsa Avenue to Taper Drive;
• Southshore Drive from Bolsa Avenue to Taper Drive;
• Taper Drive from Bolsa Avenue to Catalina Avenue; and
• Electric Avenue North from Main Street to 141h Street.
The City's application was approved at the September 26-27, 2012 California
Transportation Commission (CTC) Meeting. The City of Seal Beach has 6
months from this date to award construction before losing the funds.
The project consists of removing and replacing various locations of damaged
curb & gutter, sidewalk, curb ramps, installation of concrete pavers within the
parkway and resurfacing the asphalt roadway. On February 28, 2013, the City
Clerk's office received five (5) bids with the following results:
Rank Contractor Total Bid
1 R.J. Noble Company $ 613,974.63
Hardy& Harper, Inc. $ 622,000.00
3 All American Asphalt $ 656,251.00
4 Excel Paving Company $ 685,621.84
5 Sully-Miller Contracting Company $ 697,748.07
Based upon the references, qualifications, work experience and cost, staff
recommends selecting R.J. Noble Company as the lowest responsive bidder at
$613,974.63. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City
Manager to approve contract changes and additional work for up to
approximately $65,000 (10% of the award) to reach the minimum required by the
funding source to receive full funding ($318,000 SLPP funding + $318,000 City
Match = $636,000 minimum construction cost) and for unforeseen change work
Page 2
orders. Within the $65,000, $22,025.37 must be expended in order to receive
the SLPP funding. Additional work needs to be done, and it is in the public
welfare to perform such work at the same time the Contractor has its equipment
and work force in Seal Beach.
The City Attorney's office has approved the construction agreement to be used
for this 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 after award of contract.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This project complies with all requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and is categorically exempt under section 15301 class 1 (c).
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the City's standard Construction
Contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds have been approved in the 2012-2013 Fiscal Year Budget for Local
(ST1204) and Arterial (ST1202) Street Resurfacing Programs in the amount of
$475,000. These funds are sufficient to fund the City's match requirement. The
recommended actions include expenditures as follows:
Item Amount
Construction (award) $613,974.63
Contingency (10%) $ 65,000.00
Materials Testing $ 15,000.00
Inspection (Casulas Construction Services) $ 25,000.00
Total $718,974.63
Budget Modification 13-09-03 in the amount of $318,000 is recommended to
provide sufficient funds for construction and to cover the $318,000 in SLPP
funding that will be reimbursed to the City upon completion of the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6363:
• Approving Plans and Specifications for the Arterial & Local Street
Resurfacing Project No. ST1 202 & ST1 204;
• Awarding a contract for the Arterial & Local Street Resurfacing Project No.
ST1 202 & ST1 204 to R.J. Noble Company in the amount of$613,974.63;

amount of$65,000; and
