Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $50,000 was approved as part of the 2013/2014 Capital Improvement Plan for the "Pathway to the Sea Project"
BACKGROUND:
As part of the adopted 2013/2014 Capital Improvement Plan, City Council approved the Pathway to the Sea Project, which was included as part of the plan. This long anticipated ADA improvement was designed to allow all beach visitors an enhanced experience.
DISCUSSION:
The "Pathway to the Sea Project" involved the construction of a concrete walkway 10 feet wide by 70 feet long from the County bike path towards the ocean in the El Porto area. This walkway allows people with disabilities to enjoy the beach while being much closer to the ocean.
This project was advertised for bids in the Beach Reporter and several standard construction industry publications, including the Dodge Green Sheet, Reed Construction Data, and Associated General Contractors of America. Subsequently, seven sets of plans and specifications were provided to contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers. A total of three bids were received and opened on April 25, 2014. STL Landscape, Inc., submitted the lowest bid, which was reviewed by the Public Works Department and found to be responsive. Additionally, references indicated STL Landscape, Inc. had the knowledge and capability to complete the work in a timely and acceptable manner.
STL Landscape completed the work without incident and on schedule and all work was found to be in compliance with the plans and specifications.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize final payment in the net amount of $25,000.00 to STL Landscape, Inc. and formally accept the Pathway to the Sea Project as complete. Additionally, staff requests that the City Council authorize filing of the appropriate Notice of Completion and release of retention in the amount of $1,250.00.
