SUBJECT: CASH CONTRACT NO. S.S. 620 – ANNUAL MISCELLANEOUS

AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council award Cash Contract No. S.S. 620 in the amount of $215,030.00
to CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. for the Annual Miscellaneous Concrete Construction
and Repair Project.
BACKGROUND
The City has received over 900 requests to repair concrete improvements at 780
locations citywide. In order to implement a methodical and efficient concrete repair
program, the City has been divided into four areas (areas “A” through “D”) and each year,
concrete repairs within a specified area will be completed (see attachment).
In order to address the back-logged service requests efficiently and effectively so the
necessary concrete construction and repairs will be completed in advance and in
coordination with the City’s annual slurry seal project, staff recommends work in two
areas (areas “C” and “D”), instead of completing work in just one area, in the current fiscal
year (FY2011-12). Once the back-log list has been addressed, the Annual Miscellaneous
Concrete Construction and Repair Project will focus on only one specific area in any
given year.
Staff has reviewed and evaluated 478 repair requests in Areas “C” and “D” and selected
locations that need immediate attention.In addition to the reported repair request
locations, staff has selected other locations in Areas “C” and “D” to be repaired that have
not been previously reported, but have been inspected by staff.
DISCUSSION
During its meeting of August 23, 2011, the City Council approved the plans and
specifications and granted authority to advertise for bids on the Annual Miscellaneous
Concrete Construction and Repair Project.On September 15, 2011, twelve bids were
received as shown on the attached bid summary. The apparent lowest responsive

bidder was CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. with a bid of $215,030.00. CJ Concrete
Construction, Inc. has satisfactorily completed similar projects for the City of Downey as
well as other cities such as Santa Monica, Orange, El Segundo, Norwalk, Lakewood,
Garden Grove, and Ontario.
As part of this project, it is estimated that construction and repairs will be completed at
133 locations in Areas “C” and “D”. This work will consist of constructing and repairing
approximately 15,275 square feet of sidewalk, 2,782 square feet of driveway
approaches, 854 square feet of curb ramps, 3,028 linear feet of curb and gutter, 854
square feet of cross gutters and 4,208 square feet of asphalt concrete pavement.
Construction on the project is tentatively scheduled to begin in late October 2011 and
be complete by February 2012.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total estimated cost of the project is $278,504. The City’s FY 2011-12 Capital
Improvement Program included $100,000 in “Gas Tax” revenues to fund this project.
The required $178,504 to fully fund this project will be funded through Proposition 1B
proceeds.
