AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
2017-2019 Block Wall Repair Program
MEETING DATE: May 17, 2017
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for 2017-2019 Block Wall Repair Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: City block walls are occasionally destroyed around town by vehicle
accidents or intentional vandalism. In 2014, staff implemented the
Fence Repair Program in lieu of hiring a contractor on a case-by-
-case basis to avoid time delays and minimize City liability. During 2014-2015, the Fence Repair
Program successfully repaired six wall segments in a timely manner. The contract was extended for two
additional years and three additional wall segments were repaired.
This project will allow the City to retain a contractor on an "as -needed" basis to quickly respond to any
necessary block wall repairs during Fiscal Years 2017/18 and 2018/19.
Provisions in the specifications allow the City to extend the contract twice if it is mutually agreeable by
City staff and the contractor. Each allowable extension shall be for a one-year period.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date
is June 14, 2017. The total project estimate is $50,000, $25,000 annually.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will have a minimal impact on total maintenance cost but will
reduce the City's liability associated with the damaged walls by reducing
repair response times.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at the time of project award.
