City Council Meeting

Meeting Date:	03/05/2019
FROM:	Bill Gallardo

Subject:

Orange Avenue Pavement Improvements

RECOMMENDATION

Authorize funding of $90,000 from Capital Improvement Project No. 7903 for pavement improvements on Orange Avenue from Imperial Highway to Birch Street.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

On February 20, 2018, the City Council accepted the Brea Superblock I Parking Structure (P3), CIP Project No. 7903 ("Project") for $9,236,742 with a remaining project balance of $476,380. At that time, staff anticipated completing other projects that were directly impacted by the Project. One such project was paving of Orange Avenue between Imperial Highway and Birch Street.

This segment of Orange Avenue was a direct access to and from the Project during construction. Heavy trucks utilized Orange Avenue between Birch Street and Imperial Highway as the main access for deliveries of material necessary to construct the Project. Staff evaluated the pavement conditions on Orange Avenue within this area and recommends the pavement rehabilitation work due to the poor pavement conditions.

As a result, staff is seeking project funding in the amount of $90,000 to complete this project. Since the bid amounts are expected to be under the formal bidding threshold of $200,000, the Director of Public Works is expected to execute the construction contract. Project is anticipated to be completed in May/June of this year.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Finance Committee reviewed staff's recommendation at their February 26, 2019 meeting and recommended to proceed.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY

The engineer's estimate is $90,000 to pave Orange Avenue. There are sufficient funds remaining in the project fund balance for this work. Since the bid results are expected to be within the Director of Public Works' purchasing authority, the Director is expected to execute the construction contract. There is no impact to the General Fund.
