STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Attention: Keith R. Till, City Manager
From: Stephen G. Badum, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SEAL
BEACH BOULEVARD REHABILITATION (ADOLFO LOPEZ
DRIVE TO BEVERLY MANOR ROAD) PROJECT NO. 754
AND 990)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications, and authorize Staff to
initiate the bidding process so that a contract may be awarded for the pavement rehabilitation of
Seal Beach Boulevard from Adolfo Lopez Drive to Beverly Manor Road.
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. The City has received authorization to proceed from Caltrans to advertise
and construct while plans and specifications have been completed by WG Zimmerman
Engineering.
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 forfeit the federal money back to the state for its use. Total
project costs are estimated at $1,300,000. Upon the successful bidding process and award of a
contract, the project should be completed by August.
This is an extremely complicated schedule if the Seal Beach Boulevard Sewer Project moves
forward. In addition, the Gas Company has approached and been working with the Engineering
Division to discuss the replacement of their high pressure gas main that runs from Beverly Manor
Road to Adolfo Lopez. It is the goal to have utility work coordinated prior to paving but timing
constraints due to the possible loss of$650,000 in federal funding may prohibit such
opportunities.

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. The Finance department will invoice Caltrans as the
project progresses to receive the federal funding.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the plans and specifications, authorize staff to
initiate the public contract bidding process.
