SUBJECT: AWARD BID FOR SEAL BEACH BLVD. AND PACIFIC
COAST HIGHWAY INTERSECTION WIDENING,
PROJECT No. 49758
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will award a construction contract for the Seal Beach
Blvd. and Pacific Coast Highway Intersection Widening, Project No. 49758 to the lowest
bidder, R.J. Noble in the amount of $ 530,351.00 and authorize the City Manager to
execute the contract.
BACKGROUND:
The awarded project will begin at 14 Street and continue southerly along Pacific Coast
Highway for approximately 2,000 feet. This project will improve traffic flow by
widening Pacific Coast Highway to three through lanes in both directions. The proposed
project also consists of constructing new curb ramps on all four corners and minor work
for reconstruction of existing curb and gutter, sidewalks, medians, and drainage facilities.
The existing traffic signal will be relocated and reconstructed. And the existing bus
shelter will also be relocated. This project will be similar in scope of work as the recently
constructed Seal Beach Blvd. and Westminster Intersection Project. However, no
additional turn lanes will be added due to right -of -way constraints.
In 1997, the City competitively applied for and secured Measure M Funding to improve
the intersection at Pacific Coast Highway and Seal Beach Boulevard. Measure M
Funding was allocated in FY 99/00 under the Intersection Improvement Program (IIP).
The IIP program allocated a total amount for construction of $563,360.00 with a required
match of $140,850.00 from GMA #6 for a total of $704,210.00. Monies from this
program may only be used for these purposes and may be forfeited if the project is not
completed.
Project design began in the spring of 2000. It required coordination with Caltrans
personnel because Pacific Coast Highway is owned by the State. A Public Information
Meeting was held on August 19, 2002 at City Hall. Comments were received and
included into the current design. The project design was completed in January of 2003

and staff had applied for a Caltrans encroachment pen The permit is expected to be
obtained prior to start of construction.
District 1 Council- member has asked staff to look into the possibility of also widening
the northbound Seal Beach Boulevard right turn lane at Pacific Coast Highway.
However, right of way is not available for this type of construction at this time.
Four bids were received and opened by the City Clerk on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 as
listed below:
1. R.J. Noble $530, 351.00
2. Palp Inc. $535,113.25
3. Sequel Contractors $589,869.00
4. Shawman $734,150.00
During the opening of the bids, Palp Inc. (dba Excel Paving Company) was initially
announced as the lowest bidder. However, after examining each bid proposal and
rechecking the bid items, it was discovered that R.J. Noble had actually submitted the
lowest bid. Staff has reviewed all submitted bid documents and found the low bidder to
be in compliance with contract documents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are currently available within the City's approved 5 -year Capital Improvement
Program budget to construct these improvements under project number 49758. Measure
M Intersection Improvement Project monies will provide $563,360. GMA #6 funds in
the amount of $140,850 will also be used for the project. The total budget for the project
including preliminary engineering, design, agency permitting, construction, construction
management, and project management is $704,210. If the project is canceled by Council,
then funds used for the design would have to be returned to OCTA.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council award a construction contract for the Seal Beach
Blvd. and Pacific Coast Highway Intersection Improvement Project (Project No. 49758)
to the low bidder, R.J. Noble in the amount of $530,351.00 and authorize City Manager
