EXPLANATION
On August 17, 2004, the City Council by resolution #2004-162 awarded the National City Alley
Improvement Project to Portillo Concrete, Inc. The project included three alley sections in the base bid,
and one alley section in the additive alternate bid. This project was awarded based solely on the base bid
cost. The contract allowed the alternative that could constructed if funding permitted. At this time funding
does not allow it.
Councilman Natividad has suggested a change in the additive alternate. The change is to remove the
existing additive alternate alley #11 located south of 4th Street between Highland Avenue and I Avenue
and include alley #99 located north of 24th Street between F Street and Highland Avenue.
After inspection by staff it was found that alley #99 includes demolition unlike the other alleys in the
project. Plans for alley #99 repairs have not been drawn. The existing alley #99 construction materials are
asphalt for the roadway and concrete for an existing drainage swale. This will involve demolition of the
entire alley so it can be replaced with concrete, with an added cost due to this. It is estimated that this
alley will cost approximately $65,000 to construct. This is a change in condition from the original bid
specifications and will require a change order.
The original bid for the additive alternate was $46,250, for which we don't have sufficient funding due to
the construction bid price being $138,020 plus $21,000 for contingencies and $13,800 for inspection,
testing and surveying, which makes the total estimated cost of the project to be $172,820 for the base bid,
which leaves $27,180 for the alternative alley, if there are no major setbacks.
The citizens along the original proposed additive alley #11 are aware of the construction project coming
and are expecting this to be done during this fiscal year.
In summary there are four alternatives:
1. Leave project as is and do alley #11 if funding permits
2. Add $20,000 to the project to ensure alley #11 is done in project
3. Add $85,000 to project to ensure alleys #11 and #99 are both completed in the work.
4. Remove alley #11 add $40,000 to the project and ensure alley #99 is done in the project.
At present the pre -construction meeting with Portillo Concrete, Inc. is set for Oct. 14 with construction
starting the first week of November.
