1 TO: City Council
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
REVIEWED BY: Carla Dillon, P.E., Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration to Authorize the Release of a Bid Package for the 247th Street Area Water Main Replacement Project
RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize staff to release the bid package for the 247th Street Area Water Main Replacement Project; and find the project categorically exempt from CEQA.
BACKGROUND
The 247th Street Area Water Main Replacement Project consists of replacing pipelines.
The existing water main around 247th Street area runs north and south within private properties crossing 246th Street, 247th Street, 247th Place, and 248th Street. This existing water main includes a 4-inch diameter pipe for approximately 955 feet and a 6-inch diameter pipe for the rest of the area. The water mains were constructed in 1928 and have exceeded their useful life. The age of these water mains makes them particularly at risk for main breaks and leaks, especially as a result of an earthquake.
The proposed new water main will extend from 246th Street beyond the City boundaries, looping within the City of Los Angeles right-of-way and along Western Avenue (which is Caltrans right-of-way), and connecting back to the City of Lomita along 247th Street, 247th Place, 248th Street and Lomita Blvd. This project consists of constructing approximately 3,300 linear feet of 6-inch PVC water pipeline and appurtenances (fire hydrants, valves, services, and fittings). The existing pipeline located in private property will be abandoned.
This project aims to improve fire flow in the project area by replacing the existing 4-inch and 6-inch diameter pipes, which allows emergency responders to more effectively fight fires in this area. This project will also reduce the risk of water damage to private properties in the event of a main break or earthquake.
In November 2021, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Item No. Sch 8b
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
2 Onward Engineering for engineering design services in the amount of $133,119.50 plus a 20% contingency in the amount of $26,623.90. The design phase encountered several delays due to approvals by outside parties (CalTrans and City of Los Angeles), as well as the identification of unmarked utilities during the potholing. The design of the water main replacement is completed, and the project is ready to be released for bid.
Staff is requesting approval of the project and authorization to release it for bid as soon as possible.
CEQA
It is recommended that the City Council find this project is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15302 Replacement or Reconstruction of existing structures and facilities. This project installation can be found to be exempt from the requirements of CEQA. The proposed project consists of replacement pipes to supply water to residences with no increase in capacity.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact of this action.
The City has Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds for the 247th Street Area Water Main Replacement project which provides for the $1,125,000 in funding toward the project. The City is required to contribute at least 25% of the total project cost.
OPTIONS
1. Approve staff’s recommendation.
2. Provide alternative direction.

TH STREET AREA WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT
This project consists of water main installations on 246th St, 247th St, 247th Pl, 248th St, Western Ave, and Lomita Blvd. The existing 4-inch/6-inch water main system was constructed between 1928 and 1930 and has exceeded its useful service life. To provide improved flow, pressure and fires protection, installing approximately 3,300 linear feet of new 8-inch PVC water mains is needed. The existing water main currently runs along the property line and the new 8-inch main will be installed in the street along 246th St, 247th St, 247th Pl, 248th St, Western Avenue and Lomita Blvd. Improvements will include trenching and installation of new 8-inch PVC water main, water main fittings, valves, water services, water meters and fire hydrants.
The Contractor shall perform all work required for such construction in accordance with the Contract Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract, complete and ready for use.
Each bid must be submitted in writing on a bid proposal furnished by the City. Bids must conform and be responsive to all contract documents. All bids must be sealed and must be plainly marked in the lower left-hand corner “247TH STREET AREA WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT”.
Plans and Specifications may be downloaded and printed from the City’s website at no charge at: https://lomitacity.com/current-bids-rfps/ Prospective bidders who only view and/or print the Plans and Specifications from the City’s website will not automatically be added to the City’s Plan Holder list for this project unless they send an email to the City at [email protected] and provide the firm’s name, address, telephone and contact person with a valid email address. This will ensure that the prospective bidder is listed as a “Plan Holder” and will be informed of any addenda and all information issued subsequent to obtaining the official form of proposal.
A-3
Addenda will be posted on the City website, but it shall be the bidder’s responsibility to inquire for any addenda/updates to this Notice Inviting Bid prior to submitting their bid.
Each proposal must be accompanied by a cash deposit, a certified or cashier's check, or a bidder's bond, made payable to the City of Lomita, in an amount not less than 10 percent of the total bid submitted.

The successful bidder will also be required to pay the State of California prevailing wage scale as determined by the Department of Industrial Relations, available at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/PublicWorks.html.
The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality or irregularity in any bid received and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective bids received. The award, if made, will be made to the lowest responsible bidder. Plans and Specifications will be available for review at City Hall.
The contractor shall possess a valid State of California Contractors License, Class A.
All work shall be completed within 80 working days from the date of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

When the number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of one to five, or
When the trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through apprenticeship training on an annual basis state-wide or locally, or When CONTRACTOR provides evidence that CONTRACTOR employs registered apprentices on all of his contracts on an annual average of not less than one apprentice to eight journeymen.

CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for any damage or injury to any person or property resulting from defects or obstructions or from any cause whatsoever.
CONTRACTOR will indemnify Indemnitees against and will hold and save Indemnitees harmless from any and all actions, claims, damages to persons or property, penalties, obligations or liabilities that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm, entity, corporation, political subdivision, or other organization arising out of or in connection with the work, operation, or activities of CONTRACTOR, its agents, employees, subcontractors or invitees provided for herein, whether or not there is concurrent passive negligence on the part of any Indemnitee. In connection therewith:

D-6

However, without affecting the rights of CITY under any provision of this agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless CITY for liability attributable to the active negligence of CITY, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction.

It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California.
This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement and is in addition to any other rights or remedies which Indemnitees may have under the law.
This indemnity is effective without reference to the existence or applicability of any insurance coverage which may have been required under this Agreement or any additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees.
CONTRACTOR, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting within the scope of their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent passive negligence by the Indemnitees.
