Subject: AWARD BID FOR THE SEAL BEACH BOULEVARD
REHABILITATION (ADOLFO LOPEZ DRIVE TO
BEVERLY MANOR ROAD) PROJECT NO. 754 AND 990)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed action will award the construction contract for the pavement rehabilitation of
;Seal Beach Boulevard from Adolfo Lopez Drive to Beverly Manor Road to the lowest
responsible bidder, EC Construction Company, in the amount of $749,082.71 and authorize
the City Manager to execute same.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the Federal Arterial Highway Restoration Program, the City competed for and
won federal funding through OCTA to pave the portion of Seal Beach Boulevard from
Lopez Drive to Beverly Manor Road. Plans and specifications were completed by WG
Zimmerman Engineering.
The project schedule is extremely complicated due to the need to complete Seal Beach
Boulevard Sewer Project within a portion of the paving project (Adolfo Lopez Drive to
Westminster Ave.). In addition, the Gas Company is working with the Engineering
Division to discuss the replacement of their high pressure gas main that runs from Beverly
Manor Road to Adolfo Lopez Drive. The City is making every effort to coordinate the
sewer and gas utility work. Project completion is expected in late August /early September.
Six bids were received and opened by the City Clerk on June 21, 2000 as listed below-
1 E.C. Construction
$749,082.71
2 All American
$766,696.45

1 AGENDA ITEM
Award Constriction Contract
City Council Staff Report
June 26, 2000
The low bidder, EC Construction Company, is properly licensed to do the work and has
appropriate work experience as well as being the lowest responsible bidder for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are currently available within the City's Capital Improvement program budget to
construct these improvements under project numbers 990 and 754. The City's
contribution will be 51 %, using Measure M Local Turnback and Gas Tax as its match,
while the Federal contribution will be 49 %. Additional City costs may be incurred if it
becomes necessary to delay the paving work to accommodate the Sewer project schedule.
Expected contingency is 15% and construction administration/management/inspection is
10 %. The Finance department will invoice Caltrans as the project progresses to receive
the federal funding.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council award the construction contract for the Seal Beach
Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation, Project 754 & 990 to EC Construction Company in the
amount of $749,082.71 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract for same.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(v)).
In the listing above, the "SU" designation means that rates
listed under that identifier do not reflect collectively
bargained wage and fringe benefit rates. other designations
indicate unions whose rates have been determined to be
prevailing.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
• an existing published wage determination
• a survey underlying a wage determination
• a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a
position on a wage determination matter
• a conformance (additional classification and rate)
ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis -Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch
of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U. S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
136
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage payment
data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the
requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review
Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administracive Review Board
U. S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
END OF GENERAL DECISION
