The low total bid amount is 11 percent below the Engineer's Estimate of $1,200,000.00. The low bidder,
Universal Pipeline, Inc., possesses a California State Contractors License Classification "A" as required by
the project specifications. A check of the contractor's references indicates satisfactory completion of similar
projects for other public agencies.
The work necessary to complete this contract includes the removal and replacement of older cast iron
water mains, replacement of water services and meters, fire hydrants, valves, pavement replacement and
re- striping in the Corona Del Mar community.
Project phasing has been developed to minimize impacts to the community. For example, work on
Goldenrod Avenue between Harbor View Elementary School and First Avenue will be constructed during
the summer months to avoid impacts with school traffic in the area. A good portion of this work on
Goldenrod involves slip - lining the existing 18 -inch cast iron water main with new 12 -inch pipe, which
requires minimal street trenching. Work at Marguerite Avenue and East Coast Highway will be scheduled
after September 7th to avoid impacts with the summer traffic. In addition, working hours have been
established to minimize impacts to commuter traffic, which will include some night work. A detailed
schedule is to be prepared by the contractor following award which can be adjusted to address concerns
from businesses and residents in the project area.
Pursuant to the contract specifications, the Contractor will have 65 consecutive working days to complete
the work.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15302 (replacement of existing facilities involving negligible expansion of
capacity) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at
