SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7872 - RESOLUTION NO. 24-47 – BUDGET AMENDMENT – CHANGE ORDER NO.1 FOR - TRANSPORTATION CENTER AND SOCIAL SERVICES PARKING LOT RESURFACING – SPEED HUMPS INSTALL
Background:
On June 18, 2024, City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $395,021 to All American Asphalt for Project No. 7872, Transportation Center and Social Services Parking Lots Resurfacing. The project will rehabilitate parking lots at the City’s shared Transportation Center, the Social Services Center and Alondra Library. The work scope includes for pavement surface preparation, specific location pavement repairs, pavement resurfacing, and pavement markings restoration. The project’s budget ($452,000) includes for construction, contingency for unknowns, project management/inspection and City staff administration.
Cecilia Street is a shared right-of-way with the City of Downey (Downey). The common border between agencies is approximately along the street centerline. Downey recently resurfaced (slurry seal) its side of Cecilia Street (west bound lane). Cecilia Street has been plagued by above the “prima facie” speed vehicle limit of 25 miles per hour.
At its’ scheduled August 6, 2024 meeting, City Council approved installation of speed humps and associated equipment for Cecilia Street between Orr and Day Road and Fairford Avenue.
The installation of the speed humps is to increase safety, driver awareness and provide for safer driving experience.
To the facilitate a solution and implement City Council’s directive, staff recommends Change Order No.1, which consists of pavement resurfacing followed by the installation of speed humps

5 on Cecilia Street. Pavement resurface (slurry seal) is recommended prior to speed hump installation to provide for a consistent pavement surface for speed humps installation.
The estimated costs for the above-described work (materials, labor & inspection) are as follows:
Work Item Costs
Herbicide & crack seal $ 17,056
Slurry seal - Type II $ 35,200
Speed humps $ 76,947
subtotal: $ 129,203
contingency (8 %): $ 10,336
Total: $ 139,539
Request: $ 140,000
The speed humps have a 4–6-week delivery lead time from order placement. Slurry seal requires advance preparation work (herbicide spraying, crack sealing) prior to slurry seal application and then pavement markings reinstallation. This work would be coordinated in a manner such that the pavement surface would be ready for speed humps installation once delivered. Estimated time to complete the additional work is approximately three months from change order execution.
