Various DISCUSSION: Purpose Construction Contract Pavement Testing Printing and Incidentals Amount $497,497.00 18,000.00 1,503.00 Total: $517,000.00 At 9 a.m. on November 13, 2017, the City Clerk opened and read the following electronic bids for this project: BIDDER TOTAL BID AMOUNT n/a Hardy & Harper, `+ $355,000.00* Low All American Asphalt $497,497.00 2 The R.J. Noble Company $585,700.00 3 Excel Paving $759,335.00 * Hardy & Harper, Inc. submitted a written request to withdraw from this project citing a clerical error on Bid Item #11 was made on its bid. This CIP project was originally scoped and designed back in March 2017 to assist the Municipal Operations Department (MOD) with the patching of failing pavement areas on arterial highways. The project was also a directed effort intended to reduce the backlog of areas needing attention as well as undertaking proper preventative maintenance. During the recent bid package preparation, design staff conducted additional outreach and review to incorporate the latest feedback from the community, MOD street maintenance staff as well as from Public Works inspectors. This outreach led to an increased scope of pavement patching work beyond the original CIP scope. Public Works believes that a good portion of the increased pavement patching needs resulted from last years above normal rainfall after many years of drought. Including this additional patching work in the project provides a good value to the City's street system, which includes prolonging pavement life, reduced future costs, being prepared for the upcoming rainy season and reduced motorist frustration with potholes. The final bid package includes asphalt repairs, paving, deep patching and asphalt cap replacement on MacArthur Boulevard, Newport Coast Drive, San Joaquin Hills Road and Spyglass Road. The low bid amount is 17% higher than the Engineer's Estimate of $425,000. Public Works staff performed a detailed review of the bid, the bid items, engineers estimate and spoke to low bidder and other prospective bidders. The bid received from All American appears to be within marketplace conditions for this work and is cost competitive. Also noteworthy, the original estimates did not include new effects associated with the recent California State Gas Tax increases, which raised the costs of diesel and vehicle registrations, which in turn has raised the overall cost of trucking, equipment and materials. These cost increases are in the process of being worked into construction estimates/budgets and construction cost escalations. 6-2 Arterial Highway Pavement Repair Program — Award of Contract No. 7185-1 (18R03) November 28, 2017 Page 3 As discussed above, the amount of pavement patching work included in the current bid package is higher than originally estimated primarily as a result of last year's very wet winter. In addition to the additional work, some urgent pavement repairs using on-call paving contracts was also completed over the last three months utilizing this CI patching fund. As such, staff is also requesting approval of a budget amendment from the State Gas Tax account to provide the necessary funding in order to award the recommended construction contract to All American Asphalt for the Arterial Highway Pavement Repair Program. The low bidder, All American Asphalt, possesses a California state contractor's license classification "A" as required by the project specifications. A check of the contractor's references indicates satisfactory completion of similar projects for City of Newport Beach and other public agencies. All American Asphalt also completed the Ocean Boulevard and Poppy Avenue street improvement project (C-6189) for the City earlier this year. The work necessary to complete this contract includes repairing the existing pavement on various arterials throughout the city as shown on the Location Map. This contract also includes isolated dig -outs, asphalt grind and overlay, pruning tree roots and installing tree root barriers, installing traffic striping, pavement markings and raised pavement markers. Pursuant to the contract specifications, the Contractor will have 30 consecutive working days to complete the work. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 Class 1 (c) (maintenance of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use ) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item). The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the City's official publication and in construction industry publications.

Hardy & Harper, Inc respectfully request to be withdrawn from this project, unfortunately, due to a clerical error on item number (11) "Cold Mill Asphalt Concrete Pavement" in which was written in unit price of $0.50. However, written unit price should've been $1.50; therefore causing a $83,000.00 discrepancy. We apologized for an inconvenience this may cause, we hope this error will not cast a shadow of doubt on our ability to bid and/or construct for future Newport Beach projects.
