TITLE: Goldenrod Pedestrian Bridge Improvements Project — Award of
Contract No. 8871-1 (23R12)
ABSTRACT:
The City of Newport Beach (City) has received construction bids for the Goldenrod
Pedestrian Bridge Improvements Project. The project will replace the planters, irrigation,
wooden arches, and lighting on the Goldenrod Pedestrian Bridge. Staff requests City
Council approval to award the construction contract to Diamond Construction and Design
of La Habra, California.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Class 1 Section 15301(d) (maintenance of existing public facilities
involving no expansion of existing use) 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;
b) Approve the project plans and specifications;
c) Award Contract No. 8871-1 to Diamond Construction and Design for the bid price of
$158,223 for the Goldenrod Pedestrian Bridge Improvements Project, and authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract; and
d) Establish a contingency of $23,000 (approximately 15 percent of total bid) to cover the
cost of unforeseen work not included in the original contract.
DISCUSSION:
A review of the condition of the Goldenrod Pedestrian Bridge planters found that the
planters have reached the end of their expected service life and are ready for
replacement. The boards making up the planters are warped and there is evidence of
termite infestation throughout the wooden planters and arches. In addition, the drainage
system for the planters failed in some areas and is leaking onto the bridge structure,
damaging the concrete.

The bridge itself was originally built in 1928 and has gone through several maintenance,
retrofit and repair cycles during its lifetime including several replacements of the wooden
planters.
Based on the review of the planters, staff prepared plans and specifications to replace
the planters, the wooden arches, and the lighting on the bridge. The project will also
include fixing the planter drainage system, making any necessary concrete repairs, and
replacing the irrigation system.
