ST0906 -A (ST1004) - Old Town SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City Council is asked to approve the plans and specifications for the Local Street Resurfacing Program Project No. ST0906 -A (ST1004) — Old Town and authorize staff to solicit bids. BACKGROUND: City Council allocated $5 million dollars for local street resurfacing. The City Council created an Ad -Hoc committee to select various streets city -wide to be paved. Based on the approved 2008 Pavement Management System and the Ad -Hoc Committee, the following streets were selected: OLD TOWN - Project No. ST0906 -A 1 S Street from Ocean Avenue to Marina Drive 6 th Street from Ocean Avenue to Electric Avenue 7 th Street from Ocean Avenue to Marina Drive 8 th Street from Ocean Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway Central Avenue from Marina Drive to 12 Street Seal Way from 11 th Street to 14 Street The original project consisted of resurfacing streets in both Old Town and College Park East. Staff divided the project into two separate projects, one in Old Town, Project No. ST0906 -A and the other in College Park East, Project No. ST0906 -13. Staff believes that by dividing the larger project into two smaller projects, the City can receive some cost savings. There are aspects of each project which are different for the different neighborhoods that would require specialized subcontractors. Smaller companies will now be able to bid on the an Agenda Item H Page 2 individual project separate from the other whereas before, only the larger paving companies would be able to bid on the bigger project. The scope of work in Old Town consists of removing curb & gutter and portions of the parkway that are impervious and replacing with new curb & gutter and sod. The project in Old Town also consists of grinding sections of concrete, paving with rubberized asphalt, replacement of damaged sidewalk and driveway entrances. On October 14, 2009 the City held an open house for owners, residents and tenants on the streets to be resurfaced to come and learn about the project and ask any questions that they may have. Over 400 notices were mailed out for this event. The five residents who showed up at the open house were pleased with all aspects of this project and excited for it to move forward. The complete bid package is located-in the City Engineer's office for review and is ready to solicit bids. In the approved 2009/10 Budget, Capital Improvement Project funds are budgeted for Local Street Resurfacing, in the amount of $5,050,000. Fundin General Fund $ 3,934,000 State Gas Tax $ 160,000 Measure M $ 330,000 1 B Bond $ 386,000 Traffic Relief $ 240,000 Total $ 5,050,000 Expenses Design Engineering (RBF) $ 400,000 Construction, Old Town (Engineer's estimate) $ 2,700,000 Construction, CPE (Engineer's Estimate) $ 1,700,000 Inspection $ 250,000 Total $ 5,050,000 The state of California has been 'borrowing' the City of Seal Beach's property tax revenue to provide funds to close the State's revenue /expenditure deficit. This fiscal year, 2009/2010, the amount is $750,000. The decisions of the State have adversely affected the adopted FY 09/10 Municipal Budget. The impact has been such that each City department has been asked to reduce their budget by 2.0 %, using the adopted budget as the basis for the reduction. The State's 'borrowings' not only reduce current year revenues; but, the borrowing also affects the City's ability to replenish the unallocated General Fund revenues. The unallocated reserves are the main funding source for Local Street Page 3 Resurfacing projects, such as Project No. ST0906 -A and Project No. ST0906 -B, as well as many of the City's Capital Improvement Projects. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost for construction of Project No. ST0906 -A (ST1004) -Old Town is $2,700,000. The cost for inspection is $170,000. The total cost to construct the project in Old Town is $2,870,000. The funds for this construction are budgeted in the 2009/2010 Budget and are sufficient to complete the construction of this project. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the Local Street Resurfacing Program Project No. ST0906 -A (ST1004) - Old Town, and authorize staff to solicit bids.
