BACKGROUND
7, 1993 (Meeting of
Authorization to
of Bids for the
and Drainage Impro,%
at the South End
12- 15 -93)
Advertise for
Construction of
cements to Lassen
of Cornett and
�r d
The City has awarded two contracts (Rasmussen and S P Milling) for
various public improvements which are in the process of being
constructed in the vicinity of the Mission Bell Plaza. These
projects are funded by Assessment District 92 -1, with some
participation by the L.A. Avenue AOC.
These improvements included the construction of a storm drain
extending to that portion of Lassen Avenue south of McFadden Avenue
and Cornett Avenue. Although the project included the construction
of surface grate storm drain inlets near the south end of McFadden
and Cornett, the project design did not include the construction of
the pavement improvements required to facilitate the conveyance of
surface drainage to these inlets.
DISCUSSION
A. Scope of Project
The location of the work is at the south end of McFadden Avenue
and Cornett Avenue as shown of Exhibit 1.
A copy of the plan for these improvements has been distributed
to the City Council under separate cover. That plan calls for
the removal of existing deteriorated asphalt pavement, the
regrading of the street to establish positive drainage to the
storm drain inlets and the construction of asphalt pavement
twenty -five (251) wide with asphalt curbs. It should be noted
that these improvements may be removed, revised and upgraded
when and if the vacant property to the south (Birkenshaw) is
improved. The engineer's estimate of probable construction cost
is $15,000.

B. Separate Project
At the request of the City, S P Milling submitted a price for
the construction of these additional surface drainage
improvements. Their price was $23,960. It is the opinion of
staff that this is not a competitive price. It is recommended,
therefore, that the this work be advertised as a separate
project.
C. Funding
The Engineer's Report for Assessment District 92 -1 shows only
fifty per cent ( 50 %) the Lassen Avenue branch of the storm drain
system being funded by the District. In that this storm drain
also serves a portion of the City north of the area within the
Assessment District boundaries, the other fifty per cent (50 %)
of the cost for this leg of the storm drain is funded by the
L A Ave AOC.
It is recommended that the cost of the subject surface drainage
improvements also be funded 50 -50 by the Assessment District and
the L A Ave AOC.
D. Informal Bidding Procedures
It is anticipated that the bid price for this work will be below
the minimum amount requiring formal biding procedures. IT is
anticipated that upon receipt of valid bids, a contract for this
work will be approved by the City Manger and work will proceed.
This report requests authorization to proceed with this work.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the design for the
proposed improvements and authorize staff to advertise for receipt
of informal bids and the award of a City Manager approved contract.
