AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR RED HILL AVENUE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS
AT OCTA/SCRRA RAILWAY AND F-10 CHANNEL AREA (PROJECT NO. 700144)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of January 5, 1998, award the subject contract to
Hondo Company, Inc., in the amount of $67,422.00, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
contract documents on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amount of $67,422.00 is approximately 11% greater than the engineer's estimate of $60,867.50.
An analysis of the bids and the engineer's estimate revealed that the difference was due to the contractor
performing his work within the confined channel area and the relatively small quantities of material needed for
construction. Funding for this project is provided in the City's FY 1997-98 Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) budget for this project.
BACKGROUND
Bids for the subject project were opened December 16, 1997. There were eight (8) bids received with the
following results:

Currently, pedestrians using Red Hill Avenue north of Edinger Avenue have to walk within the roadway to
travel across the F-10 Channel and the OCTA/SCRRA Railway tracks. These improvements will provide
continuous pedestrian access along the west side of Red Hill Avenue thereby relieving pedestrians from having
to walk within the roadway. As part of these improvements, the sidewalk on the east side of Red Hill Avenue
will be closed to pedestrian traffic and pedestrians will be directed to use the west side of Red Hill Avenue in
this area.
