SUBJECT:
Title
Approval of the issuance of an invitation for competitive sealed proposals for Kerlick Lane, California Boulevard, and Oak Run Sidewalk Projects since the City Council finds that this delivery method will provide the best value to the City.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The citywide street program was approved in the 2019 Bond Election. Projects in this program could include: asphalt excavation and replacement, base repairs, curb repair/replacement, sidewalk repairs/replacement, and concrete diamonds around meter boxes and manholes.
On September 10, 2018, City Council approved a contract task order with M & S Engineering, HMT Engineering, and Urban Civil Engineering to provide engineering for the final design of Kerlick Lane (Walnut Avenue to Mission Hills Drive), California Boulevard (Loop 337 to Gazebo Circle), and Oak Run Sidewalks (Oak Glen from Oak Run Parkway to Timber Hollow, and Timber Hollow from Oak Glen to Crown Ridge).
City staff recommends issuing an invitation for a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) as the procurement method for the contract to construct these projects. The CSP method allows the City to evaluate the most qualified contractors and the best value for the project. The evaluation of the proposals received by City staff will be presented to City Council for direction regarding the approval of a contract for construction.
