DOWNEY AVENUE PAVEMENT REHABILITATION
(GARDENDALE ST. - ROSECRANS AVE.)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1. Accept the improvements and the maintenance responsibility for the
improvements constructed under Cash Contract No. S.S. 621 and approve the
payment of $387,081.70 to the City of Paramount for the City’s portion of the final
overall project cost; and
2. Appropriate $37,081.70 from the Gas Tax fund to Account No. 26-16621.
DISCUSSION:
On August 26, 2008 the City Council authorized the execution of an inter-agency
agreement with the City of Paramount involving street improvements on Downey
Avenue between Century Boulevard and Gardendale Street. The improvements
included the rehabilitation of the existing asphalt pavement and repair of miscellaneous
concrete surfaces (i.e., sidewalk, curb and gutter, drive approaches, curb ramps) on
Downey Avenue along the aforementioned limits as well as the upgrade of the existing
traffic signal at the intersection of Downey Avenue at Gardendale Street. The portion of
the project limits within the City of Downey extends from Century Boulevard to the west
City limit located 200 feet to the west of Klondike Avenue, a distance of approximately
1,220 feet.
The City of Paramount, which was the lead agency on the project, has completed the
asphalt pavement resurfacing, concrete repairs and the upgrade of the traffic signal.
Based on a final cost accounting of the project, Downey’s portion of the final project cost
is $387,081.70. This includes all costs for the project design, project management,
construction and inspection activities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$350,000 in Gas Tax funds are programmed in the FY 2009/10 Capital Improvement
Program for this project. Given the City’s portion of the final project cost of
$387,081.70, an additional appropriation in the amount of $37,081.70 in Gas Tax funds
is necessary.
