BACKGROUND
The annual Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program addresses necessary repairs to paseo bridges to maintain them in good serviceable condition. In 2017, inspections were performed on each of the 34 paseo bridges within the City of Santa Clarita (City) to prepare a five-year plan to identify the ongoing maintenance and painting needs of the bridges. Each bridge received an overall condition rating based upon the condition of their major components, including deck surface, superstructure (all exposed metalwork), substructure (bridge footings and mounting attachments/bearing pads), and approaches.
Fifteen of the 34 bridges have previously been repaired as part of the Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program. The 2021-22 Paseo Bridge Maintenance and Painting Program includes three bridges which are located at Orchard Village Road, north of Mill Valley Road, Valencia Boulevard, west of Citrus Street, and Copper Hill Drive, east of McBean Parkway, as shown on the attached location map. These bridges require new joint seals and the application of methacrylate coating, repair of cracks in the bridge deck, walls, and bearing assemblies, painting, and other minor work. This project supports the Sustaining Public Infrastructure theme of the City’s five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.
An invitation to bid was prepared and posted on BidNet on March 16 and 23, 2022. A total of two bids were submitted and opened by Purchasing on April 14, 2022. The results of the total bids, including the bid alternate, are as follows:
Company Location Bid Amount
Slater Waterproofing, Inc. Montclair, CA $374,895
Peterson-Chase General Engineering Construction, Inc. Irvine, CA $581,740
Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Slater Waterproofing, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder. This contractor possesses a valid state contractor's license and is in good standing with the Contractors State License Board. The contractor's bid has been reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.
The requested budget appropriation will provide for the bid alternate, which includes painting of the exterior and underside of the bridges, reducing the need for future maintenance at these locations.
The total project budget will provide for the construction contract, construction support costs for labor compliance services, staff oversight, construction engineering, inspection, and project management. The requested construction contingency will cover the cost of unforeseen site conditions and additional work required by the City.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the recommended actions, adequate funds will be available in project expenditure account M0146357-516101 (Landscape Maintenance District Fund) to support the recommended contract and all anticipated project costs.
