Subject: AWARD BID FOR THE LOCAL DRAINAGE
PROGRAM: 10th STREET, PROJECT NO. 623
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
•
The proposed action will award the construction contract for the.construction of new curb
and gutter, pavement modifications, various concrete improvements to improve the
drainage on 10th Street to the lowest responsible bidder, EC Construction Company, in the
amount of$63,750.50 and authorize the City Manager to execute same.
DISCUSSION:
Historically, there has been major ponding of water, up to 5 inches deep, along 10th street.
This is due to an extremely flat street, repeated overlays, and unsuitable trees. As
identified in the City's Master Plan of Drainage, this was the first project to be
implemented in the Local Drainage Program.
In order to fix the drainage, the proposed project must replace all the curb and gutter on
both sides of the street, certain driveway approaches/cross gutters, remove all the concrete
parkway and fill with native soil to adjust for new curb drainage and keep with approved
policy, and pave remedial segments of street to join the new street grade elevations. It is
also necessary to remove approximately four trees on the northeast portion of 10th street.
The City's Park and Recreation Department would replace the lost trees with more
suitable species after project completion.
City staff completed the plans and specifications for this project. Eleven bids were received
and opened by the City Clerk on January 18, 2000 as listed below:
