TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Vince Mastrosimone, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: AWARD DESIGN CONTRACT FOR THE OCEAN
AVENUE ALLEY PAVEMENT REHABILITATION FROM
14 STREET TO MAIN STREET WT0902
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The City Council is asked to adopt No. 5948 awarding a contract to
Fine Line Systems to prepare design plans for the Ocean Avenue Alley
Pavement Rehabilitation from 14 Street to Main Street for $16,800.
BACKGROUND:
The 2003 Water Master Plan identified areas throughout the City for cast iron
water main replacements due to aging equipment. By upsizing the pipes it will
further enhance the water system's fire flow capability and eliminate the
numerous water main breaks.
The Plan identified the area in Old Town, specifically the alley north of Ocean
Avenue between 14 Street and Main Street, where the pipes are aged,
deteriorating and deficient in capacity. City staff has labeled this area as a high
priority for replacement due to the frequency of breaks.
The asphalt alley has an existing six inch cast iron water pipe that distributes
potable water to the adjacent properties. The proposed project will replace the
pipe with an eight inch plastic pipe and upgrade water meters and fire hydrants.
This will increase the fire protection and eliminate the main breaks.
This design contract will provide construction plans to restore the pavement due
to the construction of the water main. These plans are required due to the narrow
alley width of 15 feet and matching elevations to existing private property
corners. The plans will have detailed survey points to make the ease of
construction.
Agenda Item K
Page 2
The water improvement design plans will be prepared by AKM Consulting
Engineer's.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In the adopted 2009/10 Budget, $700,000 has been allocated for Water System
Infrastructure Repairs.
This design contract is for $16,800.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended City Council adopt Resolution No. 5948 awarding a contract
to Fine Line Systems to prepare design plans for the Ocean Avenue Alley
Pavement Rehabilitation from 14 Street to Main Street for $16,800.

Attention : Mr. Michael Ho
City Engineer
Re : Alley n/o Ocean Avenue between Main Street & 14 St.
Dear Sir
REGRIIVED
We are pleased to present the following proposal for engineering
services on the above - referenced project as requested :
Scope of Services :
1. Establish centerline of the alley n/o Ocean Avenue from Main
Street to 14th Street. Topo the alley from Main Street to 14
Street with 25' overlap northerly and southerly of intersections
with streets, and 25 overlap north and south of the alley t-
intersections. The mapping along the alley will extend north and
south of the alley right -of -way up to 20' as needed to
demonstrate drainage, locate buildings, walls, broken AC /concrete
aprons, etc. that may affect design. All meters, manholes,
drains, valves, and the likes within said strip of land will be
located with spot elevations. The survey will be based on the
assigned benchmark at the centerline intersection of Ocean Avenue
and Electric Avenue.
2. Engineer approximately 1,600' of alleys. We can either use 1 " =20'
or 1 " =10'. 1 " =20' may be more conventional, but with the width of
the alley at only 15 a larger scale may be more suited.
3. Meet with the City staff to discuss all prospects of design.
4. Provide preliminary and final quantity estimates.
5. Coordinate with City staff and other consultants, as needed.
Total Charges = $16,800.00
