PARKER, CITY MANAGER FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT FOR THE EL CAMINO REAL/JAMBOREE ROAD MEDIAN MODIFICATIONS AND STRIPING REVISIONS PROJECT, CIP NO. 70238 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. Award Contract for EI Camino Real/Jamboree Road Median Modifications November 7, 2017 Page 2 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.
