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.
