| BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION |
The Country Hills Pavement & Water Improvement Project, Project No. 7322 ("Project") is programmed in the Fiscal Year ("FY") 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Project is located within the residential neighborhood north of Birch Street, south of Lambert Road, east of North Associated Road, and west of Kraemer Boulevard. (Attachment A).
The work consists of pavement rehabilitation including cold milling; placement of new asphalt concrete; sidewalk improvements; curb and gutter improvements; curb ramp improvements; adjustment of manholes; replacing over 12,000 linear feet of water lines; and replacing water meters in the Country Hills neighborhood.
Final Plans and Specifications ("Bid Documents") were advertised for bids on CIPlist.com and subsequently published in the adjudicated newspaper in accordance with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting (CUPCCA). A copy of the Bid Documents is available in the City Clerk's office for review. There were three addendums to the Bid Documents, which provided clarification regarding the bid opening date and other miscellaneous modifications. Therefore, staff recommends City Council approve the final Bid Documents with the three addendums as bid.
On August 6, 2021, staff received a total of 11 bid proposals. Staff then tabulated the bid proposals and determined that the apparent low bid amount was $4,791,264.52 of Williams Pipeline Contractors, Inc. from Mission Hills, California (Attachment B).
Below are the results of the 11 bids received within Table 1:

| FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY |
The Project budget is programmed in the FY 2021- 22 CIP with an amount of $5,817,986. The total updated cost for the Project going into construction is estimated at $5,811,227 based on the final design and staff costs ($185,084), apparent low bid amount of $4,791,264.52, a 10% contingency ($479,126.45), and construction engineering costs ($355,751.39). Once the Project is complete, the remaining project funds will be de-obligated back into the associated funds. The sources of funds within the approved budget are from the Measure M Fund (260), RMRA Fund (221), Water Fund (420), and Gas Tax Fund (220). There is no impact to the General Fund from this project.
The work consists of pavement rehabilitation including cold milling; placement of new asphalt concrete; sidewalk improvements; curb and gutter improvements; curb ramp improvements; adjustment of manholes; replacing over 12,000 linear feet of water lines; and replacing water meters in the Country Hills neighborhood.
