SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR
LAMPSON AVENUE PAVEMENT REHABILITATION
(SEAL BEACH BLVD TO EAST CITY LIMITS),
PROJECT No. 50010 & 50013

The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications, and
authorize Staff to initiate the bidding process for the Lampson Avenue Pavement
Rehabilitation Program from Seal Beach Blvd. To East City Limits, Project No. 50010 &
50013.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Federal Arterial Highway Restoration Program, the City competed for and
won federal funding through OCTA to rehabilitate the pavement on Lampson Avenue
from Seal Beach Boulevard to the East City Limits, similar to the recent Seal Beach
Blvd. rehabilitation project. The City has submitted the final plans and specs to the
Caltrans Office of Local Programs for the Federal authorization to proceed with the
project and staff expects to receive this approval within 2 weeks. Plans and
specifications have been completed by W.G. Zimmerman Engineering, Inc.
Due to recent changes in Federal and State spending programs, it is vital that these funds
be obligated prior to the end of the fiscal year. Failure to award a project and obligate
funds would cause the City to forfeit the federal money and return these funds back to the
State for their use. Total project costs including design, construction and inspection is
estimated at $1,500,000. Upon the successful bidding process and award of a contract,
the project should be completed by June.
The work will consist of minor removal and replacement of concrete curb, gutter and
median curb, deep patch repairs of failed pavement areas, grinding the edges of pavement
adjacent to the curb, a rubberized asphalt overlay, and new pavement striping and
markers. In addition, this project will install a new water line crossing Lampson Avenue
at Candleberry Ave. and Heather St. for future use.
