FROM: Mark K. Vukojevic, P.E. Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: AWARD BID FOR SEAL BEACH BLVD. LANDSCAPED
MEDIAN PROJECT NO. 50200
•
SUMMARY OF REQUESTS:
The proposed action will award a construction contract for the Seal Beach Blvd.
Landscaped Median Project No. 50200 to the lowest responsible bidder, Alliance
Streetworks Inc in the amount of $778,792.75 and authorize the City Manager to execute
the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the 2004 budget process, City Council approved a project to construct a
landscaped median along Seal Beach Blvd. between Westminster Avenue and Beverly
Manor Road. The project provides aesthetic enhancement to the City's corridor and
provides traffic benefits to motorists and nearby residents of Leisure World. W.G.
Zimmerman Engineering was selected through the City's selection process to design the
project and conceptual plans were presented to both Leisure World Council Members for
review of conceptual planting schemes and layout.
The work consists of excavation of existing asphalt paving within the pavement markings
of Seal Beach Blvd. center turning lane. It will then be replaced with fertilized soil for
trees, shrubbery and textured concrete, bounded by concrete curbs. During the design
phase, it was discovered that the existing pavement is composed of concrete 6 — 10 inches
below the existing 8 -inch layer of asphalt. The cost to remove the additional concrete
increased the costs above the original budget allocation. Staff added an alternative bid
item for stamped concrete as opposed to cobblestones, to provide options to City Council
at the time of award. The stamped concrete option is Alternate B, which is being
recommended by staff due to budget issues. Completion of this project will provide
medians along the entire length of Seal Beach Boulevard.
Staff is also anticipating that a minor reduction in the scope of work will be necessary to
bring the project within the budget constraints. Items being considered are the purchase
of new street signs, installation of the new signs, concrete maintenance strip and moisture
barrier.
PZENDA ITEM Tr
Four bids were received and opened by the City Clerk on June 1, 2005 as listed below:
Company Alternate B Alternate A
1 Alliance Streetworks Inc $ 778,792.75 $ 827,146.50

3 EBS Inc $ 801,098.50 $ 814,503.50
4 Excel Paving Company $ 858,525.50 $ 873,845.50
Staff has reviewed the submitted bid documents and found the low bidder to be in
compliance with the contract documents. Staff contacted the references provided by the
contractor and determined that the contractor has satisfactorily completed similar projects
for organizations in the area.
Upon the successful execution of the contract documents, the project is estimated to start
in August and completed in December.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $840,000 are currently available in fiscal year 2004/2005 from
the General Fund within the City's approved 5 -year Capital Improvement Program
budget under Project No. 50200. An additional $10k is also available from the Water
Enterprise Fund for the water service required for the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council award a construction contract for the Seal Beach
Blvd. Landscaped Median Project No. 50200 to the lowest responsible bidder, Alliance
Streetworks Inc in the amount of $778,792.75 and authorize the City Manager to execute
