SUMMARY
Staff is recommending that the City Council award the construction contract for the EI Camino
Real/Jamboree Road Median Modifications and Striping Revisions Project, CIP No. 70238 to
the lowest responsive/responsible bidder, Aramexx Group, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council award the construction contract for the EI Camino
Real/Jamboree Road Median Modifications and Striping Revisions Project, CIP No.
70238 to the lowest responsive/responsible bidder, Aramexx Group, Inc., in the amount of
$112,955.00, appropriate an additional $20,000 from Gas Tax fund balance to cover
construction contingency and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract
documents on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $113,639 has been budgeted and appropriated in the Fiscal Year
2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program for the construction of the EI Camino Real/Jamboree
Road Median Modifications and Striping Revisions Project. However, an additional
appropriation is needed from the Gas Tax fund balance to cover construction contingency. The
project is funded through Gas Tax and grant funds awarded through OCTA's Measure M2
Regional Capacity Program (RCP). The use of the construction contingency is only for
unforeseen circumstances that may arise necessary to complete the work within the approved
project scope and appropriation.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
The project contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and
Protection of Assets. Specifically, the project implements Strategy #3, which among other
items, is to ensure continuous maintenance and improvement of traffic control and
transportation facilities.
DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
EI Camino Real is designated as a secondary arterial roadway on the Orange County Master
Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) and has four travel lanes and a raised, landscaped median
through the Tustin MarketPlace shopping area.

Under the Measure M2 RCP Project O Intersection Capacity Enhancement (ICE) Program,
OCTA awarded funds to the City to design and construct a second eastbound left -turn lane on
EI Camino Real at Jamboree Road to serve additional traffic stacking demand. The project
proposes to modify the existing landscaped median and restripe the eastbound leg of the
intersection to accommodate the second left -turn lane.
Currently, eastbound vehicles on EI Camino Real turning left onto Jamboree Road stack out of
the left -turn pocket and impede the eastbound through traffic at the intersection. This occurs in
the mid-day and PM peak periods. The proposed project will add capacity and reduce
congestion by removing the extended queue due to a single left -turn lane and adding the
second left -turn lane in the eastbound direction.
Construction components for the project will include a median modification, roadway
construction, traffic signal detection modifications, and signing and striping revisions on the west
leg of the intersection.
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 17-37 approving the plans and specifications and
authorized and directed the City Clerk to advertise for Project bids on July 18, 2017. The Project
was advertised and the bids were opened on August 30, 2017 and evaluated.
Four (4) bids were received by the noticed deadline and are summarized as follows:
• Aramexx Group, Inc...............................................................$ 112,955.00
• Palp, Inc. DBA Excell Paving Co ................................................$ 142,120.00
• EBS General Engineering, Inc ...................................................$ 144,900.00
