Competitive Bidding Process
To ensure competitive bids, the city will advertise the project on multiple plan holders’ websites which publish project bidding documents, distribute the information to their extensive network of contractors, and construction industry contacts.
The project will also be advertised in a local newspaper, the Glendale Independent, prior to bid opening, as well as on Bidnet Direct, which is a web-enabled data service to the public sector, for the dissemination of the building and construction project proposals to their large number of member contractors and consultants. Finally, the project bidding documents will also be posted on the city’s website.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in June 2025 and is scheduled for completion by September 2025.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
As a result of this project the public will gain improved accessibility and walkability throughout the project neighborhoods and improved safety for all users.
The contractor will be responsible for distributing two distinct door hangers to the affected addresses. One set of door hangers will be provided two weeks prior to the start of any construction activity within the project area, while the second set will be distributed three days before construction begins.
Furthermore, outreach on this project continues to occur through social media and a dedicated project website that is hosted through the City of Glendale domain. The website familiarizes the public to the project and to the project team, explains the scope of work and project locations, and provides the public with staff contact information for questions, discussion, and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. The current Engineer’s estimate for the construction of this project is between $5,500,000 and $6,000,000, which was not included as part of the FY 2024-25 budget. Therefore, staff will be requesting for new appropriations from San Fernando Corridor Tax Share Fund (4100) at the time of the contract award based on the received bids.
The San Fernando Corridor Tax Share Fund is designated for improvements to San Fernando Road and its surrounding streets. This project qualifies for funding under this program as the proposed streets are located in the eligible area.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review because of CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301.
